"Ella is thoughtful, kind and generous," he told the . He went on to add: "She would literally do anything for me, her other friends and her family.

She's got untold amounts of followers, she's got an amazing fanbase, they're going to go over to him.

Just because I don't know 100 percent if he's being his genuine self and I wouldn't know that because the only time we speak is if we ask each other if we're ok and is there anything that we want.

"We haven't had any other conversation other than that. I feel like he's keeping himself to one person only and that's obviously JoJo. He hasn't allowed himself to make connections with anyone else other than her. I feel like he's playing a massive game." Freddie previously opened up about Ella's spark with Chris and ruled out a romance for the pair.

He said: "I think she will get along with him because he is a laugh and a giggle. But in terms of romance, I think the most it would ever go to is close friends."
