Speaking to VIP Magazine, the model said: “I am quite professional when it comes to these things.”
“I don’t really want to mix love with this competition. I want to keep my head in the game so I would probably refrain from doing that.”
While Missy ruled out a romance with Ervinas, who hails from Kildare, the influencer gushed about her friendship with the pro dancer.
“The first night we met went straight out for drinks,” she said.

“He is a little younger than me, but super fun, energetic and really tall.”
“They paired us well! We are both the youngest people on the show too,” she explained.
The 20-year-old, who is the daughter of Boyzone star Ronan Keating and former model Yvonne Connolly, has been single since she split from her boyfriend Mark Elebert in 2021.
Missy said: “Being single has changed my life. Over the last year I really took time for myself. Spending time on my own was something I always struggled with.”
“When I was in a relationship I was obsessed with being around people all the time but over the last year I have really taken time to focus on myself and enjoy my own company; while working on me.”
“Now I feel independent, I am my own woman and it is really great.”
“I was also living in London, and there are some gorgeous people there, so the summer was fun, for sure!”
