‘X Factor’: Gifty Louise Plays Down Romance With Jordan Lee Following 'Hilarious' Rumours They Are ‘Inseparable’

‘X Factor’ hopeful Gifty Louise has played down rumours that she’s struck up a romance with fellow contestant Jordan Lee of boyband 5 After Midnight.

According to The Sun, Gifty and Jordan were said to be “inseparable” since moving into the contestants’ house.

In Snapchat videos posted over the weekend, Gifty referred to Jordan as her “baby” and “bae”, as the pair celebrated his 21st birthday.

A source told The Sun: “Gifty and Jordan have been inseparable since entering the house but they are trying to keep things low key.

“It’s still very much early days for them both and they don’t want to risk their friendship, or chances in the competition, by flaunting their feelings for each other.”

But Gifty has since taken to Twitter to label the rumours “hilarious”.

Hmmm, not exactly a flat out denial though.

Gifty and Jordan’s rumored romance comes just weeks after it was revealed that Emily Middlemas and Ryan Lawrie are also in a relationship.

Ryan referred to Emily as his “girlfriend” during the Six Chair Challenge as she fought for a place at bootcamp.

“Good luck to my amazingly talented and beautiful Girlfriend @ emilymiddlemas_ on her 6 chair challenge performance tonight!” he said.
