“Mohammed George (Gus from EastEnders) is a good friend.”

So that’s two already, even if you don’t include Jodie’s boyfriend Fran Cosgrave, who once went out with Atomic Kitten Natasha Hamilton.

And that’s not all. Jodie once snogged Dane from D-Side; she went to Lindsey Dawn Mackenzie’s birthday party; and she had a great time at last year’s MTV Base party.

“This not a quick fling. This relationship is not about us being the next Posh and Becks.”

“Jodie’s often turned up at the club wearing the same clothes as me – it’s weird,” he says elsewhere in the interview. “People think we plan it like Posh and Becks, but we don’t.”

Indeed Fran couldn’t be more unlike Becks if he tried. And as for Posh and Jodie, well, one’s a fame-obsessed talentless wannabe and the other…’
