Prior to embarking on his relationship with Jesy, Chris had a seven-month relationship with Olivia Attwood, who he met on the 2017 instalment of Love Island.

Little Mix singer Jesy’s new romance was confirmed this month, weeks after she ‘adamantly denied’ a romance with the hunky television star.

Her representative told MailOnline at the time: ‘Jesy has adamantly denied that she is dating Sean Sagar, and states that they are just friends.’   

Sean is known to many for his role as Private Jaiden ‘Monk’ Montgomery in the BBC series Our Girl opposite Michelle Keegan and also appeared in the Guy Ritchie film The Gentlemen earlier this year.
