But they admitted to Mirror Online that they already kind of knew each other.

They really met when Marnie saw an article about Casey and followed him on Twitter .

He'd been fired from boyband Union J and dumped by his girlfriend in the same week, and Marnie joked that she was interested in him because he was "vulnerable".

He told us: "First time I proper saw her was when she followed me on Twitter and I looked at her profile and thought, 'She's hot', and I couldn't believe it, she followed me randomly and then it turned out we were both on Single AF but we didn't know anything about it."

Marnie added: "I'd been split up from Lewis [Bloor], and you know when you're just having a look and having a bit of a browse, there was an article that popped up with his face on."

"I was sacked from Union J and split from my girlfriend in the same week," he jumped in. "I was absolutely slaughtered by the press."

Marnie laughed: "It said he'd split from his girlfriend and I thought, 'Ooo he's vulnerable'.

"But it's the best thing I've ever done."
