Perrie Edwards has denied she is dating Joey Essex.

The pair were rumoured to be seeing one another after they met at the Pride of Britain Awards in September, following the 22-year-old Little Mix singer’s split from fiance Zayn Malik in August.

Joey’s ex-girlfriends include his former The Only Way Is Essex co-star Sam Faiers and his fellow I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! campmate Amy Willerton.

The 25-year-old TV personality was recently linked to 18-year-old Charlotte Stuchfield.

He told OK! that he would not be rushing into a proposal, saying: “She’s a nice enough girl. But you never know, do you? You have to work it out – it takes a little time.”

Since breaking up with Zayn, Perrie has been posting photos of herself with her dogs and her Little Mix bandmates, as well as her hunky backing dancers.
