Love Island star Ellie Brown has spoken out to set the record straight after she was linked to footballer fitlord Jack Grealish.
The pair sparked romance rumours over the weekend when they were pictured looking VERY cosy on a night out in Manchester as they appeared to leave an event together before apparently going clubbing.
According to onlookers, Ellie and Jack “seemed really into each other” after they met at city centre hotspot Peter Street Kitchen.
A source revealed, “Drinks were flowing and they were flirting like mad. At one point they nipped outside for a quiet chat with some friends.
“Later on in the evening, Jack was going to Chinawhite with some of his footballing pals, including teammate Riyad Mahrez and Danny Simpson.”
They added to The Sun, “Ellie ended up in the same club as them with her pals.”

It was later reported that Louise's other man was none other than One Direction star Niall Horan.
10 of 11Kim Kardashian and Kayne West
In fairness we would definitely call Kim Kardashian an A-Lister as well but technically she is also a reality star. Kim and Kanye met in 2003 but, after her two failed marriages, they confirmed that they were finally an item in 2012. Unfortunately, after a six year marriage and four ADORABLE kids, the two decided to call it quits January 2021.

Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding met The Bachelorette star Chad Johnson on Celebrity Big Brother back in 2017 but after a whirlwind three months together, long-distance and Chad's cheating ways broke them up.
However, the 2018 Islander has seemingly put an end to the romance rumours as she insisted their encounter was nothing more than a chance meeting.
Taking to Twitter, she wrote, “This ‘party’ was an event and If you know the venue that’s where the toilets are. Must [have] said hi for all of 30 seconds.”
It was thought that Jack was dating his childhood sweetheart Sasha Attwood after they reunited in June and she was spotted cheering him on as he played for England in Euro 2020, however he was spotted on celebrity dating app Raya earlier this month.
