The singer previously dismissed rumours that he is dating his ballroom rival but said they will ‘definitely’ go out for a meal after the series.
Addressing speculation, he said: ‘Do you know what, there has been no dates yet. I’m not sure where they got the love and fun from but when this show is done I think we will definitely go out for some food somewhere, when we are allowed to.
‘But for now we are really just focusing on the dances to be fair. We haven’t really seen each other for the last couple of weeks or really any of the other contestants. Maybe possibly when the show is done.’
The pair reportedly ‘cooled down their romance’ so that Maisie could concentrate on getting to the final of the show.
