'MasterChef's Finch, Sullivan dating?

Miss Universe Australia Rachael Finch has admitted that she and Olympic swimming champion Eamon Sullivan have grown close since starring in Celebrity Masterchef.

The Aussie model, who broke up with boyfriend Angus O'Loughlin recently, said that she enjoyed Sullivan's company and had been out for dinner with him.

Finch told The Sunday Telegraph: "Eamon and I are great friends. We went out for a bite to eat on the night of the wrap party."

The 21-year-old also hit back at reports that she dumped radio star O'Loughlin via text saying: "It's not a matter of breaking up over a text message - it hurt to read that. We love each other very much and that doesn't go away overnight."
