The 'Only Way is Essex' star has admitted he and his ex-castmate have a great chemistry and, although they're not officially an item, they have been spending a lot of time together recently.

He said: "We enjoy each other's company. We have a laugh and like being around each other - she's got a great personality and she's hilarious, so I like spending time with her."

Asked if they are more than friends, he replied: "It's borderline. We kiss every now and then, when we've had a drink. I don't know if it could turn into anything serious."

However, the 21-year-old hunk doesn't feel ready to go into a full-blown relationship with Ferne, 25, as he's enjoying himself at the moment and accepts she might find someone else.

He explained to Now! magazine: "She's such a funny girl - our personalities go well together and when we're out we always have a good laugh. I'm sad she's not on the show as much these days but I'm really proud of what she's achieved. She might be taken off the market in a few years but it's a risk I have to take. I'd like to have a couple of kids by the time I'm 30, so I'd like to settle down when I'm about 28."
