ENGLAND ace Dele Alli has been romping with I’m a Celebrity star Ferne
McCann, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.
The couple have been spotted kissing in nightclubs and “acting like young
honeymooners”.
But the Tottenham midfielder has called for a cooling-off period after news of
their relationship spread among the former Towie star’s pals.

Sources said Ferne, 25, was “obsessed” with the 19-year-old and was “clinging
on to him” at London celeb haunt the Libertine Club two weeks ago.
An onlooker said: “They did not stop kissing and did not care who saw them.
“There were fireworks and absolutely no doubt they were really into each
other.”
The couple, who were introduced by mutual pals, were also spotted walking into
a restaurant holding hands in Dagenham, Essex, earlier this month.
However, Ferne, now a host on ITV1’s This Morning, upset the Premier League
ace when she sent close pals a series of photos of them arm-in-arm.
Dele, who was preparing for Spurs’ match against Bournemouth today, is now
reassessing their relationship, a friend said.
They went on: “He’s a red-blooded bloke who fancied Ferne. They hit it off
straight away and he was very keen.
“But Ferne’s decision to tell everyone about their passionate affair has
shocked him.
“He’s wondering if he has a future with her.”
He was also said to be “worried about the public perception of dating a Towie
girl”.
Dele, tipped to star in this summer’s European Championships, has now “cooled
it” with Ferne, who wept to one friend: “I’m so unlucky. He is perfect.”
Ferne, who split from Towie star and long-term love Charlie Sims last year,
revealed she was “seeing a sportsman” in a magazine interview this month.
She said: “It’s very early days, but I do like him better than the rest I have
dated.”
An agent for Dele chose not to comment yesterday.
Ferne’s spokeswoman did not deny they were dating but claimed she was not
referring to the Spurs star in her interview.
