Jesy Nelson and Our Girl star Sean Sagar cosy up together after insisting they’re just friends

LITTLE Mix star Jesy Nelson has been looking cosy with actor Sean Sagar - after saying they’re "just friends".

The singer was pictured with the Our Girl star on a date at Roof East bar in London's Stratford on Friday afternoon - as they met a friend for a meal. 

An onlooker tells the Sun Online that the new couple couldn’t keep their hands off each other.

They said: "They seemed pretty loved up. They were hugging as they waited to go in and he had his arm round her and kissed her on the top of the head.

"They didn't seem to be hiding it from anyone and looked like any new couple on a date.

"A mate joined them for drinks and food and the three of them appeared to be having a good time together."

Another added: "They looked so comfortable together.

"He was such a gent and walked her to the toilet and waited outside for her.

"They looked so comfortable together and she was laughing. She looked so happy and didn’t care who was looking."

It is Jesy’s first relationship since her heartbreaking split from Love Island star Chris Hughes in April.

The pair dated for 16 months but split up over the phone in lockdown. 

Jesy has previously dated dancer Jordan Banjo, Jake Roche of Rixton and Push Baby, former Towie cast member Chris Clark and musician Harry James.

At the start of July, The Sun on Sunday pictured Sean, who played Monk in the hit BBC1 series, leaving Jesy’s house in Essex.

Friends of the singer saying she’d “really hit it off” with Sean and they’d been spending a lot of time together in lockdown.

But a spokesman for Little Mix insisted: “Jesy has adamantly denied that she is dating Sean Sagar and states that they are just friends.”

The Sun Online has approached Jesy’s rep for comment.
