Ever since Perrie Edwards and Zayn Malik called quits on their relationship, the rumour mill has been in overdrive as to who the Little Mix singer might date next.

But not even the manager at said mill could have predicted it might be star of The Jump Joey Essex.

As in the guy off of TOWIE who doesn't know how to tell the time.

The two were rumoured to be getting cosy after meeting at the Pride Of Britain Awards earlier this month, having supposedly enjoyed 'secret dates' since.

But alas none of it's true (shock horror) with Perrie's rep telling the MailOnline: 'Perrie is not dating Joey.'

So there you have it, Jerrie aren't a thing.
