He hard-launched the beautiful Sarah on the official Jedward Instagram page back in March but since then it’s been radio silence – and she hasn’t made a single appearance in any snaps. While fans have been left unsure if the pair are still going strong, I can reveal that they’re indeed loved-up. Speaking to John, who is currently fronting a Merlin Pass campaign with his twin brother, he exclusively told The Sun: “Yes! We are really happy. “It has been such a good time for us and we’re just enjoying it. We love a good date day, getting out and doing things together. Life is about taking a leap of faith and that is what we did on the show and it paid off.” John and Sarah don’t have plans to move in together just yet but are “enjoying” where they are at the moment. “We’re just happy and taking it one day at a time. We’re making memories. That is what matters. Everything else will fall into place,” he added.

You do not always know what the outcome is going to be but you go for it anyway.” The pop singer revealed that going on Celebrity Ex On The Beach was a new “challenge” for him and he’s “glad it worked out.” John continued: “We are always up for a challenge. Whether that’s riding a 14 loop rollercoaster or going on a tv show and putting your heart on the line. “Life is short and you have to be brave.” Before the show, John had never publicly spoken about his relationship with Sarah and previously told how he prefers to keep his private life separate from his work after shooting to fame on The X Factor in 2009. He said in 2017: “I’ve had two long-term relationships that were private. That wasn’t part of my career.” Comment now
