JLS star Aston Merrygold has revealed that he is seeing backing dancer Sarah Richards, according to reports.

The singer told the Mirror that he has been dating the 28-year-old since the summer as his period of singledom looks to have come to an end.

His bandmate Marvin Humes got married in July and it seems that witnessing wedlock could have encouraged Merrygold to look towards settling down. He said:

"I'm dating, we've been seeing each other for a couple of months. It's all going really well – we're really happy."

It wasn't long since Merrygold was quoted by a newspaper as saying that he was looking forward to meeting up with all the single ladies at Humes' wedding.

He had been reported as proclaiming: "Everyone else will be watching the vows but I will be scanning the crowd to check for girls."
