Owen Warner doesn’t think Malique Thompson-Dwyer will have much luck with Fleur East on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’
The ‘Hollyoaks’ star has given his verdict as his castmate looks to be getting on well with the former ‘X Factor’ champion as things get flirty, and he doesn’t think it’s going the way his friend might want it to.
Calling in to jungle spin-off show ‘Extra Camp’, he said: "Didn’t Fleur say she sees him as a little brother? [Malique] might be facing some rejection if he tries."
Fleur has been linked to fashion designer Marcel Badiane-Robin, and while Malique isn’t in a relationship he insisted he wasn’t specifically looking for romance in camp.
He previously said: "I am single. I’m not looking for [love in the jungle], but if it happens, it happens."
It remains to be seen if there is really a spark between Malique and Fleur, but it follows reports that ITV bosses are keen on a romance between Emily Atack and Nick Knowles.
It’s said that producers have noticed a bit of a spark between the 28-year-old actress and ‘DIY SOS’ star Nick, 56, and they’re hoping it can develop into something during their time in the jungle.
An insider previously said: "Producers think Nick and Emily getting together would make good telly. Nick has a type and Emily fits the bill.
"And she hasn’t minded a famous boyfriend in the past. Everyone is watching closely and hoping for a proper spark.
"They’ve had a couple of moments on screen that producers thought was a good sign. They’re seeing how things develop."
