The truth behind those Perrie Edwards and Joey Essex dating rumours
The two stars have been meeting up
Rumours had been circulating that Little Mix star Perrie Edwards is getting over her split from Zayn Malik by going on dates with Joey Essex from The Only Way Is Essex.
The pair are reported to have met at the Pride of Britain awards last month and sources say they've had several dates. However Perrie's spokesperson has denied the pair are dating and Joey Essex's camp stated that they had met up but the reality star was still single.
In August the 22-year-old was left devastated when her engagement to the former One Direction member was suddenly called off.
Joey has dated a string of celebrities, including Amy Willerton who he met during his stint on I'm a Celebrity. He was also engaged to TOWIE co-star Sam Faiers. He recently split from 18-year-old girlfriend Charlotte Stuchfield.
Perrie is said to be doing fine after her public break-up and has enjoyed the time spent with the rest of her band in America.
Since winning The X Factor in 2011 Little Mix have scored three Number 1 singles from 11 Top 40 singles. Watch the video for their latest song 'Love me like you'.
