Stevi Ritchie says everyone needs to "watch this space" when it comes to romance between him and Chloe-Jasmine Whichello.
The two singers had a fling when they were both competing on ‘The X Factor’ which led to Chloe being dumped by her then-boyfriend, Craig Wiffen.
Stevi has now revealed the pair are still very close and see each other a lot as friends but he is hoping it could develop into a serious romantic relationship.
In an interview on ‘Good Morning Britain’, he said: "It’s all up in the air at the moment, me and Chlloe we’re good friends, we’ve been seeing each other, you know, because we are good friends, we get on so well … we talk to each other quite regularly. She’s a lovely girl."
When pushed on whether they are really just friends at the moment, Stevi – who is part of ‘The X Factor’ live tour – replied: "For now, who knows what the future holds? Just watch this space!"
Stevi also lifted the lid on the reason for Chloe wearing an eye patch for her recent appearance on TV show ‘Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit on the Side’, revealing she got a piece of plastic stuck in her eye.
He explained: "She’s a lovely girl and she’s done something to her eye at the moment so she had a bit of plastic in it and she had an eye patch on on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit on the Side’ the other night, I feel a bit sorry for her. She’s alright but she could have gone blind, luckily the plastic is now out."
