‘Right now they have managed to keep everything professional but it’s safe to say they are both super flirty.
‘They are going to spend a lot of time together over the next few months due to rehearsals so it’s easy to see how romance could blossom.

MailOnline contacted representatives for Joey for comment.
Joey was snapped locking lips with model and former Love Island star Maura Higgins during the National Television Awards last month.
Maura was seen leaning in for a passionate kiss with the TV star as they put on an amorous display at the glitzy event.
Maura and Joey looked very relaxed in each other’s company as they chatted together in the lobby area.
And it appeared that the two couldn’t stay away from each other as they went on to share a taxi before heading off along with other pals.
