Their seemingly contrived romantic tension has had many reality TV fans smelling a rat, but if you’re expecting things could soon escalate to sex between Charlotte Crosby and Ryan Gallagher on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, you are in for disappointment.
WATCH: Ryan Gallagher tells Charlotte Crosby he won’t have sex with her
Ryan has destroyed any chance of a headline-grabbing physical relationship between the pair by going off the well-worn reality TV script to announce publicly they will never have sexual relations.
‘Out [of the jungle] we’re very different. I mean, we’re the same, but you live a very different life to me. I’m very to myself and don’t see people much,’ said Ryan said.
‘I’ll see you out, but you’re going to go back to England. We’ll still be friends.’
Going in for specifics, Charlotte responded, seemingly surprised: ‘You don’t want to have sex?’
He replied: ‘Nah, probably not. I wouldn’t do it if there was nothing coming out of it. Not with you, because we’re friends and that would ruin it.’
The pair have kissed and cuddled and reality TV fixture Charlotte has got plenty of mileage out of her alleged attraction to the Aussie.
The reality stars, who share the same talent agency Stage Addiction, reportedly hatched the plan for a storyline months before heading to South Africa in a desperate bid to make it to the finals. But it seems that Ryan may now be having second thoughts.
‘Charlotte is only recently single so timing wise, it worked out perfectly for them to get viewers invested in their pretend love story,’ claims our spy. ‘Ryan is not her type at all but she knows the fans will love it.’
Charlotte shot to fame on British reality show, Geordie Shore. ‘Her whole career is based on hooking up on TV, she knows exactly how to win ratings,’ says the spy.
‘Ryan was also on Married at First Sight, so it’s obviously something he was open to.’
If you recall, Ryan was ‘married’ to Davina Rankin on 2018’s Married At First Sight, however, she cheated on him with fellow groom Dean Wells.
