Amy also said: "We’ve had a lovely night together. The party was amazing. They certainly know how to have a good time here.

“We had 20 McNuggets, two Big Macs, fries, apple pies… the works. It was lovely," she added.

Joey and Amy were also pictured together walking arm-in-arm as they arrived back at the Palazzo Versace hotel in Australia following their, errrm, romantic evening.

Joey had previously told The Sun that he and Amy were not in a relationship, but were "closer than friends".

Amy also denied she had romantic feeling for Joey, saying: “We definitely had a close bond but it’s just that we naturally became friends rather than lovers."
