Despite reports of the contrary, The Voice UK coach Olly Murs has insisted that no, he's not dating Jess Wright. Not while he's still mates with her brother Mark, anyway.

Speaking in this week's issue of OK! Magazine, Olly admitted that he "loves" the former TOWIE star but would never break the so-called "bro code" with Mark.

"She came to my album launch and the papers made out we’re dating but we’re not," he explained. "I love Jess – she’s quality and we get on brilliantly, but there’s nothing going on."

The singer added that he and Jess had never "been like that".

"You can’t date your mate’s sister, it would be difficult," Olly argued. "I’m really good friends with Mark so it’s never going to happen with Jess.

"As much as I like Jess and she’s a really lovely person, we’re just really good friends."

Although currently off the dating scene, Olly has got a busy schedule ahead of him following his confirmed return to The Voice UK next year.

Back in September, it was revealed that Olly would be heading back to his spinning red chair alongside Jennifer Hudson, Sir Tom Jones, and will.i.am.

As well as revealing its coaching line-up, The Voice also announced that it would be allowing contestants to audition as trios for the very first time.
