Amy Willerton has confirmed that she kissed Joey Essex during their time in Australia.
The star - who appeared in the latest series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! with Essex - revealed that they had "a cheeky kiss" at their hotel following the show's wrap party.
Willerton told OK! magazine: "We went to the crew wrap party together [in Australia] and stopped at McDonald's with my dad, who we were with. Then we got back to the hotel very merry.
"The papers called it our first date but we haven't been on a date yet. Still, we might have had a cheeky kiss that night, which took us both by surprise..."
Asked who made the first move, she replied: "Joey [giggles]. It was really nice, I felt butterflies and it was exciting because it was unexpected. That's all I'm saying about it!"
Willerton posted a picture on Instagram with Essex at his house at a 'welcome home' party last week.

"We had an amazing night. I'd never been to Essex before and I feel so at home there. Everyone's lovely and they didn't even blink an eyelid when I walked into the pub in a ballgown for Joey's 'welcome home' party.
She confirmed that she did stay the night at Essex's house but refused to reveal any further details.
Asked if she is upset that people assume she is dating Essex for publicity, she said: "Yeah, I would never have a relationship for that reason.
"For me, work is work, but I don't do this for fame. If I have a partner in my life I want them to love me for me, and not love me going: 'Okay, I love you, dear, but how can we get more press?' That's not love! I want something real."
Willerton previously denied reports that she is dating Essex when speaking to Digital Spy at The Sun Military Awards last Wednesday (December 11), saying that there had been "a little mix-up" with reports.
