Not me, but Naomi

Amber Davies has finally broken her silence on reports she shared a string of dates with former One Direction singer Liam Payne. The celebrity pair were said to have enjoyed a brief romance shortly after Payne’s split from Cheryl last July. Davies, who found fame on Love Island, has now confirmed she is not dating Payne, insisting they are “just friends”. “Liam is a genuinely lovely guy and very down to earth considering how successful he is,” she told OK! Magazine.

.“If I messaged him and asked him for advice he would give it to me, but I’m not dating him. Liam is lovely but we’re just friends!” Davies, who is currently starring in the West End’s Dolly Parton musical, is said to have met Payne at London nightclub Libertine last year, with a source claiming there was a “real physical attraction between them”. The source claimed the pair were determined nobody find out, telling The Sun that they “still keep in touch and text every now and then”.

Payne is said to have moved on to Naomi Campbell in December, according to the newspaper, with the pair spotted on a series of “dates”. They were pictured partying in Ghana over the New Year and were spotted enjoying Davido Adeleke’s concert at London’s O2 Arena in a VIP suite earlier this month.
