Asked about the reports surrounding the relationship, she told the Metro: "Yes. It's been a whirlwind."

However, it seems Russell will have to prove himself to her as she is "choosy" when it comes to picking her men.

She said: "All I want is to be in a loving relationship. Is he my ideal man? I'm choosy. I want someone who's trustworthy, sweet and kind."

A source told The Mirror: "Things are already cooling off. Russell's way into very intense spiritual readings that are just too much, even for Geri. He is way too intense, full stop. He turned up with Talking Heads... it went straight over Geri's head."

Looks like that one wasn't true then...
