Wayne Lineker says he’s ‘romantically seeing’ Chloe Ferry after fake engagement

WAYNE Lineker said he's "romantically seeing" Chloe Ferry after their fake engagement.

The Ibiza legend, 58, and the Geordie Shore star, 25, left fans confused when they revealed they were "engaged" in a joke post.

However, Wayne has now said he's "seeing" his Celebs Go Dating co-star - who he called his "celebrity crush".

Speaking on  on , hosted by Towie’s Bobby Norris and journalist Stephen Leng, Wayne said: "Me and Chloe just have a laugh all the time. We’re in the mansion and she had a wedding ring. She went, ‘Come on, Wayne, let’s pretend we’re getting married’.

"And we took all the pictures and everything and we didn't end up doing it, we just forgot about it.

“And she phoned me up last week. Because, I mean, we are seeing each other a little bit and having a bit of flirtatious banter and we'll see what happens in the summer.

";But she said, ‘Come on let’s post it! Let’s have a laugh!’ I said, ‘You know it’s going to go viral don’t you?’ She went, ‘Yeah of course I do!’

“But yeah, me and Chloe are really tight. She came on my podcast last week, No Excuse for Abuse, and she was amazing you know. But yeah, we’re really really close and she’s coming to Ibiza for the summer. And so, we’ll see what happens."

Bobby then asked: "So Wayne, when you say ‘seeing each other’, what? Romantically?" 

Wayne replied: "We’re always flirting, Bobby."

Despite meeting many years ago whilst partying in Ibiza, Chloe and Wayne have become extremely close in recent months.

They were both on the lookout for The One during their stint on Celebs Go Dating: The Mansion earlier this year, but failed to find the perfect match.

Back in February the pair left fans scratching their heads when the pals revealed that they were "engaged".

Wayne posted some snaps of the pair cuddled up together with Chloe showing off her sparkly engagement ring.

He captioned the post: "She said YES! Love you ."

Chloe also shared the image with fans, after a cryptic post which read: "Keep believing it will come true."

It was later revealed that it was a joke after Chloe was seen flashing her engagement-ring free hand.
