The romance between Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattison and Tulisa’s ex Danny Simpson is heating up.

Vicky was caught sharing a smooch with the former X Factor judge’s ex-boyfriend last month and has now confessed things could be getting serious between the pair.

“Me and Danny have been friends for years but we’ve always had partners so it’s never been anything more than platonic. But now that we’re both single, we are speaking more regularly and there is a flirty element to our relationship that we’ve never had before. He could be my next victim!” she said.

One person the kiss wouldn’t have gone down well with is Tulisa, who shares a circle of friends with Vicky, although she says they’ve never met.

“Well that would be the nail in the coffin [to my friendship with Tulisa] now wouldn’t it?” Vicky said.

“I’ve never really met her but I’ve always admired her as a fellow feisty brunette. She’s very outspoken and I loved her on The X Factor. I think I harboured this sort of hope that we would be friends one day but it doesn’t seem likely now!” she added.
