Speculation around whether Jesy and Chris were dating began earlier this year when they were pictured passionately kissing in a kebab shop.

The pair then put an end to reports they had fizzled out after three weeks when they were later spotted on a romantic trip to Dublin.

Jesy, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirwall all attended the Global Awards on Thursday night, where they revealed they would not be getting drunk like they did last year.

Addressing their boozy night out at last year's ceremony, Jesy revealed: "I got told off after that, I was just having fun. We can't really drink tonight, everyone expected us to be drunk at The Brits aswell but we weren't.

She added: "We might be boring tonight."
