The 'Only Way Is Essex' star is said to have been enjoying a friendship with the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star after the pair kept in touch following a chance meeting in Las Vegas.

A source said: "Rob likes Ferne because she is more down-to-earth than the girls he is used to in Los Angeles and he finds her easy to talk to."

And when grilled about the friendship, Ferne remained coy. She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "There's been a few messages. I have got plans to go to LA, but only because I've wanted to go for ages."

Meanwhile, the 25-year-old television personality recently insisted she'd never forget her time with ex-boyfriend Charlie Sims.

She said: "My classic personal moment was ripping Charlie's glasses off his face after he told me he had slept with 22 women. Genuinely the ups and downs with Charlie - I'll never forget them.

"The heartbreaks and ups and downs with Charlie. It was so emotionally draining. Plus it was my real relationship playing out on the show... very tough! There was one series where I think I cried in every episode. When I found out Charlie had cheated on me... you can't get a bigger betrayal than that."
