She explained: "We never got to be at the relationship stage. We just got on and went out a few times.

"It was just quite friendly and flirty. We met up a few times. We liked each other, but we're both really busy. He's in a different country most of the time. I think we both knew there was never going to be anything that came out of it. It was very innocent."
