Willerton 'Shared Kiss' With Joey Essex

Amy Willerton has revealed she and Joey Essex kissed during their time in Australia.

The model and reality television star Essex are said to have started dating after they became close while appearing on this year's 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'.

Last week, Essex confirmed the pair were in a relationship, but this was later denied by Willerton. However, speaking to OK! magazine, the 21-year-old has now revealed that they had shared "a cheeky kiss" at their hotel following the show's wrap party.

She said: "We went to the crew wrap party together [in Australia] and stopped at McDonald's with my dad, who we were with.

"Then we got back to the hotel very merry.

"The papers called it our first date but we haven't been on a date yet.

"Still, we might have had a cheeky kiss that night, which took us both by surprise..."

Upon being questioned as to who made the first move, the model giggled and replied: "Joey." She added: "It was really nice, I felt butterflies and it was exciting because it was unexpected. That's all I'm saying about it!"

The revelation is just another hint that Willerton and Essex are an official couple, and follows a photograph released last week which showed them both at Essex's house at a 'welcome home' party.

She gushed: "We had an amazing night. I'd never been to Essex before and I feel so at home there. Everyone's lovely and they didn't even blink an eyelid when I walked into the pub in a ballgown for Joey's 'welcome home' party."

She also confirmed that she stayed the night at Essex's house, but refused to discuss any details.

The model, who was criticised during her time on 'I'm A Celebrity...', also revealed she is upset when people say she is only dating Essex for publicity.

"Yeah, I would never have a relationship for that reason.

"For me, work is work, but I don't do this for fame. If I have a partner in my life I want them to love me for me, and not love me going: 'Okay, I love you, dear, but how can we get more press?' That's not love! I want something real," she continued.
