Sam Smith 'Secretly Dated Ex-TOWIE Cast Member'

Pop star reported to have romanced Charlie King...

Sam Smith might not have been having as many lonely hours as he's led us all to believe, if newspaper claims about his love life are correct.

The soul crooner is claimed by The Sun to have secretly dated a former cast member from The Only Way Is Essex.

Smith, 23, is reported to have enjoyed a string of quiet nights in and out with Charlie King - who dated TOWIE's Gemma Collins before he came out as gay last October.

A source told the newspaper: "Sam and Charlie don't mix in the same circles so the only way they could meet was through social media.

"The pair went out together a number of times but always had to make sure they weren't spotted. They preferred going to low-key pubs in London or to Sam's apartment."

However their relationship is claimed to have faltered and they are now just good friends.

"The pair hung out to discover if they were compatible. Friends have said nothing romantic happened because they decided they were better off as friends," the mole explained.

"They enjoyed each other's company as both are quite deep individuals. They deliberately never took any pictures together because they wanted to keep it under wraps.

"Sam's schedule is incredibly hectic so their dates were very sporadic. They mutually decided in May that it wasn't going to work."
