Dec made no secret of his crush on the blonde beauty, often joking live on air that a romance was brewing.
The American singer, in return, hinted that she wouldn’t say no to a date.
The pair were linked a few months later in the spring of 2013.
‘We’re just getting to know each other’
Ashley even lifted the lid on their rumoured romance.
She said: “We’re trying to keep it out of the public eye. We’re just getting to know each other.”
Although the romance fizzled out, the pair remained friends.
Ashley even had a starring role presenting Ant Vs Dec on Saturday Night Takeaway.
And she revealed: “I know everyone was hoping we were together, but he is just a friend. I love both those boys so much. We have so much fun together.”
