When asked whether the couple’s romance may be a publicity stunt, 22-year-old Sam responded:
‘I don’t think that’s far from the truth.
‘If they had such a strong connection, why didn’t something happen in the jungle? When you really connect with someone, you can’t fight it.’
‘I think they’re both trying to keep the hype from the jungle going.
‘I don’t believe it. Amy said in an interview last week that she sees him as a ‘little brother’ but then he said they had ‘sexual chemistry’.
‘Can you have sexual chemistry with a big sister? I don’t understand that one!’
And Sam, who is tipped to appear on Celebrity Big Brotherin January, says she is not phased by pictures of her former flame with 21-year-old model Amy.
‘Surprisingly, it doesn’t hurt as much as I thought it would,’ she admits.
‘I’m sad and disappointed that it’s all been done so publicly but I’m not heartbroken.
‘I’ve got so used to seeing their pictures everywhere that I don’t really feel anything.’
