The 25-year-old star has gushed over her rumoured boyfriend - who she met on reality TV show 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' last year - after he opened up about his sexuality in a YouTube video he shared earlier today (03.02.16).
Ferne tweeted: "Feeling very proud of my lil jungle fwend today 'happiness is letting go of what you think life is supposed to look like & celebrating it for everything that it is' I love you bubs (sic)"
The reality TV star wasn't the only one who sent some wise words to George following his admission.
The 22-year-old hunk's Union J bandmates, JJ Hamblett, 27, Jaymi Hensley, 25, and Josh Cuthbert, 23, were also full of pride.
Jaymi - who came out as gay in November 2012 - wrote on Twitter: "Obviously you support for George is very close to my heart! I couldn't be prouder of how he has shown such strength over this recently....
"And you have never judged me because of who I choose to love so please show him the same love you showed me !...... Very proud
"What can I say must be something they put it our waters !!! (sic)"
JJ tweeted: "Proud of you @higeorgeshelley (sic)"
Josh hasn't tweeted at the time of writing.
