The Union J singer has revealed there is "sexual chemistry" between himself and 'The Only Way Is Essex' star, who he met on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here'.

He said: "I do fancy Ferne and there is sexual chemistry. We kissed properly for the first time on Thursday night at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. We had a few drinks, got a bit drunk and had a cheeky snog.

"There is potential romance but we want to take it slow. It is weird not being with her 24/7. We both have separation anxiety and have been a bit soppy."

However, the 22-year-old singer insists they want to "take it slow" and don't want to jump into things too quickly.

George added to the Daily Star newspaper: "We've been texting, messaging and FaceTiming each other all the time. I honestly love her to bits, I really do. But when you are in the jungle all your emotions are heightened, just like they were in the 'X Factor'.

"So we are trying to take it slow and work out what our feelings really are. We are trying to be mature. Maybe we should be young and just jump in but we want to make sure it's the right thing. We just love each other's company and want to spend all our time with each other."
