Heartthrob Connor Ball, of The Vamps fame, has confessed that he isn't dating Little Mix songstress Jade Thirlwall despite reports in the press suggesting otherwise. 

Speaking to the Daily Record, bass player Connor Ball admitted that there's no truth to the rumours although the 'Black Magic' beauty is a 'lovely' girl so he was flattered by the speculation:

"The speculation about Jade is funny. We went to the Little Mix album launch..."

"I saw Jade for 10 minutes and that was it. It's just a rumour. I'm not dating Jade but she's a lovely girl."

The Vamps, meanwhile, recently designed their very own e-card and posed in festive jumpers for the project to raise money for the NSPCC. You can purchase the charity e-cards from bt.com/christmascards. Once you've made a minimum donation of £2 via BT MyDonate, you will receive an email with a link to download their e-card.
