It was all very nice when former The Only Way Is Essex star Charlie King came out live on This Morning this week.
And now the reality star has opened up about his friendship with his gay best pal and TOWIE co-star Bobby Cole Norris who confessed to having a MAHOOSIVE crush on Charlie during their time on the programme together.
Charlie told Mirror Online: “At the time, I really respected Bobby as a friend I can appreciate how hard it probably was – especially in the position I am now in – to tell me his feelings on TV, in front of cameras and the whole of the UK.
“I didn’t have any connection to it. I didn’t feel anything for him after that. I loved him as a friend and I wanted to show him that I accept him and I was flattered.”
Television-star-turned-Adonis Charlie is currently single after having a brief relationship over the summer and if we do ever see him out and about with a new bloke in the future he gave a hint at the type of guy he goes for.
“I’ve always said David Beckham is one of the best looking guys in the world and he is,” he explained. “It’s about if I just meet someone and see how I feel.”
Well, you’re right about Becks, Charlie...

TOWIE in Ibiza
1 of 6Dan Osborne, Georgia Kousoulou and Jasmin Walia
We're hard pushed to say anything here. Let's just appreciate the glory that is Dan O.
2 of 6Ferne McCann and Lewis Bloor
Ferne looked gorge in her flared LBD with bright orange heels. Lewis opted for a relaxed printed shirt and slim jeans. No socks, obvi.
3 of 6Gemma Collins and Mario Falcone
Gem enjoyed a refreshing drink in the sun, wearing an art deco-style beaded dress while Mario, who's finally back on the show, slouched around in a weird mesh tee and torn skinnies.
4 of 6Georgia Kousoulou and Charlie Sims
Georgia showed off her enviable pins in a cute Zara PJ playsuit, adding a slick of red lippy for colour. Charlie went for top-to-toe black, defying the unspoken rule to wear happy colours in Ibiza. Rebel.
5 of 6James Lock, Dani Armstrong and Jasmin Walia
Happy couple Lockie and Dani looked super cute together. We can't get on with blokes in flip flops, though. There's something just a bit off about seeing a fella's toes poking out of dainty thongs...
6 of 6Lauren Pope and Vas J Morgan
We loved Lauren's pretty cut-out maxi! The printed number looked so good with her flowing waves. Pope's BFF Vas went for urban moody for his night out look.
