Speaking to RTÉ.ie, the singer referred to rumours about the pair dating, saying: "Me and Stacey laughed about it a lot because, you know, it wasn't particularly bad press."

"You know, I can understand where people got it from. We're from Essex, we're in the house..."

He also said of Stacey: "We got on the best. I mean she was my best mate in the house."

"We got on absolutely like a house on fire. And yeah, I knew that was going to happen."

"You know, like I say, she's just a great girl to be around. I really enjoyed her company and even now that the show is finished of course you miss each other."

"I miss her. I miss being around her because I was with her so long."
