Tamera Foster was also quick to deny that there is anything more than friendship between them.
The singer from Gravesend, Kent, who has a boyfriend outside of the show, says the rumours suggesting otherwise are ‘disgusting’.
She said: ‘The most ridiculous rumour I’ve heard about myself is that Sam Callahan and I are an item. It’s ridiculous because Sam is more like my brother – which makes it actually a bit disgusting.

Meanwhile Callahan came in for more criticism from Gary Barlow this week, after his cover of 'Ain't That A Kick In The Head?' failed to win over the Take That star.
Speaking about Barlow's comments, Callahan said: "Anyone who gives me criticism, if it's something I can work on, I'll take it on board. If it's just digs, it bounces off me.
'I think it could be the ripest juiciest peach, but Gary's not a peach fan.'
