Joey Essex has clarified his relationship with Rita Ora, after he was spotted sneaking out of her house earlier this week.
The reality star and the pop singer went on a night out in London recently, and Joey was papped leaving Rita’s house the next day.
Fans were convinced the pair are an item, but Joey has insisted they’re just friends.
Joey told The Sun: “We have known each other for years.”
“She’s a nice girl, but we’re just friends,” he said, before adding, “She’s a sort.”
Joey is back on the market after splitting from his model girlfriend Lorena Medina last month.
The pair started dating while filming a celebrity version of MTV’s Ex On The Beach last year.
