Frankie Sandford denies JLS Aston romance

Frankie Sandford has dismissed claims that she is dating JLS star Aston Merrygold.

The couple were linked last month but Sandford told The Mirror that they are just good friends.

"It's inevitable that Aston and me do get pictured together because [my bandmate] Rochelle [Wiseman] is dating Marvin [Humes] from JLS," she explained.

"It's already happened with all this stuff about us dating - it's false. It's crap. And the stuff about me and Calum Best was crap too. Calum literally sent me a tweet and that's where the story came from. He's a nice guy but I'm not going there... I'm not stupid! I'm just friends with Aston - he's a nice guy. It can be really annoying if you're falsely linked to other people."

Sandford also revealed that she has not been on any dates since she split up with McFly star Dougie Poynter earlier this year.

"But I really want to be taken out on a date!" she continued. "I'm not good at the whole dating scene and I just want a boyfriend. But I don't go out on a date for the sake of it. First I need there to be a spark and hint that it might turn into a relationship."
