On Good Morning Britain today (April 28), David appeared alongside showbiz editor Richard Arnold, as co-host Susanna Reid quizzed David about the “big controversy” regarding Chris and JoJo’s friendship.
While sitting next to Ed Balls in the studio, she asked the Coronation Street star: “Are they having a relationship?”
David replied: “From what I saw, because I slept that side of the bedroom in the house, so there was me, JoJo and Chris, so I slept next to JoJo [in a bed], and from what I saw, they were just the best of friends in the house.

David added: “He [Chris] stuck up for her [JoJo] on day one, with the Mickey thing, they just bonded, they were companions."
The 37-year-old, who is best known for playing the role of David Platt on the ITV soap then joked about not inviting any of his fellow housemates to his upcoming wedding to his partner Hanni Treweek, as he’s “only known them for three weeks”.
He quipped: “You know, got guest list a mile long. Chris keeps asking for an invite doesn’t he, going ‘oh I’ll see you at that wedding’ and I’m like ‘don’t think you will pal’, I haven’t even told him the date.”
