Jesy Nelson fuels Chris Clark romance rumours with Brit Awards Instagram

Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson has fuelled rumours that she has struck up a relationship with Chris Clark of The Only Way is Essex fame.

The couple were pictured posing together at London’s O2 Arena after Little Mix won their first Brit Award.

Clark shared the picture, which shows him with his arm around Nelson, on Instagram.

He captioned the shot: “I don't want this girl to go back America tomorrow!”

Fans were quick to comment, with one posting: “Omg didn't see this coming!?”

Another posted: “Well that's one I didn't see coming!”

Others seemed excited by the prospect of a romance, with one writing: “I love this! Soooo cuteeee.”

The picture comes days after the pair started following each other on Instagram and were caught on Snapchat dancing on a night out.

Nelson is currently single after splitting from her fiancé Jake Roche in November.

Nelson – who recently revealed she is “free, single and loving life” – previously hinted that the break-up had been “horrendous”.

Speaking on radio show Z100 Nelson said: “When you break up with someone it’s awful. It’s like one of the worst pains. It’s horrendous.

“We all love to have some kind of sad song that we sit and cry to, but at the end of the day you need something that makes you feel empowered and think: ‘I don’t need you anymore. I’m going to go out with my girls and my boys and I’m going to get over you’.

“That’s exactly what Shout Out To My Ex does.”
