Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Charlotte said of her new romance: 'I am definitely single but I am now dating that person who I was texting.

'We've been on a number of dates. It's not a relationship, let's not jump any guns. 

'I don't want to call a boy I've known for a couple of weeks my boyfriend because that's bunny boiler-ish. We're just getting to know each other and that's all it is at the minute.'

Launching her stunning new Christmas clothing campaign for In The Style, the Sunderland beauty admitted she's excited getting to know the former Big Brother star and is feeling optimistic about their future.

She explained: 'Yes of course [it's exciting], it's lovely. It's great going out and being treated to going out for meals is lovely. So far so good.' 

Charlotte first fuelled rumours of a romance with the model - who once dated Helen Wood - after she posted a video of them partying the night away in Manchester on her Snapchat in August. 

However, her recent romance with the hunk saw Charlotte reportedly come under fire from Celebs Go Dating TV bosses.

Producers of the series, which followed celebrities going on dates with members of the public, claimed to be frustrated she didn't tell them she had a secret boyfriend during filming.

However, Charlotte hit back at the dating claims, insisting the reports were 'mixed wires' as she met Ash a month into filming the E4 dating show and simply chatted through text with him.

She told MailOnline: 'That wasn't true. That's just people getting very very mixed wires. People who have heard something then twisted it into Chinese whispers. 

'The dating show altogether was filmed over 6 to 7 weeks and I was on the dating show for a month before I met the person, who everyone seems to think I am now with and I am not. 

'I met him a month into the show and It was on a night out and we chatted through text since then and that was all it ever was.

'I was texting someone and that was it. So that's completely false and untrue.' 

Although trying to play coy about her new relationship, it appears things have been going from strength to strength for the pair as Charlotte was spotted in October at London hotspot DSTRKT straddling her new flame. 

In an exclusive video clip obtained by MailOnline at the time, the bombshell was seen on her knees, sweetly stroking his hair, oblivious to the bash around her.

Proving to only have eyes for each other, Ash was seen resting his face against the TV personality's bosom as he lapped up his stroking session for her In The Style AW16.

Following the video, Charlotte is clearly moving on from her on/off five year relationship with Gaz,which came to a head earlier this year when she announced she would be quitting Geordie Shore as she couldn't be around him anymore.

Her exit came after she revealed she had suffered an ectopic pregnancy while he appeared on Ex On The Beach in March.  

Looking back on what can only be described as a difficult year, the beauty revealed she's stronger and in a better place now following her lows.

She insisted: '[I am] definitely [in a better place]. The only way is up.'
