Poynter, Sandford 'buying house together'

McFly star Dougie Poynter has revealed that he and girlfriend Frankie Sandford are buying a house together.

Poynter and The Saturdays singer reunited earlier this year after a brief split but have said that the time apart helped their relationship. The couple now plan to buy a place together, reports New magazine.

"She pretty much lives with me now, in my flat," he said.

"But we're looking at buying a house, so hopefully that'll go through, and then we'll be properly living together."

The 22-year-old also revealed that he had wooed the former S Club Juniors star by inviting her to join him in a hot tub after playing a gig.

He said: "We were sharing a dressing room, and me and Danny had just had a hot tub installed at home, so we were like, 'Just come over and check out our hot tub'."

Tom Fletcher said that his bandmate had liked Sandford for a while before eventually dating her.

"Dougie has fancied Frankie since she was in her old band S Club Juniors, when we'd first come out," he revealed.

Poynter joked: "I was 15. I was a Junior myself, I was a McFly Junior!"
