Jack Grealish has been sneaking around with Emily Atack on covert dates.

The England and Manchester City player is reported to be a major admirer of the actress from The Inbetweeners, and the two have had a few dates together at her hotel in Manchester and her house in North London, according to reports.

He has become “like a little puppy dog” around his former I am A Celebrity campmate, according to friends of the duo, who say that the two are communicating “nearly every day.”

“Emily was watching Jack play in Euros and thought he looked fit,” a source told The Sun. Likewise, Jack has admired her work since she featured as Charlotte ‘Big Jugs’ Hinchcliffe in the television series The Inbetweeners.

“They began by DMing one other on Instagram before exchanging numbers and continuing the conversation on WhatsApp and FaceTime. Jack has been phoning her virtually every day, and he has been extremely forthright about his intentions.”

“They have become very close friends, and they spend a lot of time FaceTiming with one other. He is like a little puppy dog around her. It is a pretty pleasant thing,” A source went on to say, “They have a great laugh together.”

Jack and Emily are becoming “extremely close,” but since they are both preoccupied with their jobs, they have not yet “crept over the boundary.”

One of his friends said, “They’re coming pretty near, but they haven’t crossed the line yet. Jack is very focused on his career and play, and Emily is a bubbly, popular young lady who is tremendously busy at the moment in her professional life.”

As previously reported, Jack and Sasha Attwood have been dating on and off since they were 16 years old, with speculation rife as to the state of their relationship during this year, when the footballer was allegedly sighted on the celebrity dating app Raya.

Sasha, on the other hand, put a stop to rumours that they had broken up by paying heed to her lover on his birthday in September.

Sasha wished on Grealishs’ birthday

She wrote, “Happy birthday dear sweetie, loving you always,” above a montage of the couple’s photographs.

Prior to including a succession of photos of their cockapoo and the comment, which read, “Can not believe it was a year ago today that we got our baby Skye. Thank you so much for bringing so much love and pleasure into my life.”

Attwood was in attendance at Wembley Stadium for England’s loss to Italy in the Euro 2020 final earlier this summer, after the Three Lions had advanced to the final after reaching the final of the competition.

Her presence in the crowd resulted in her suffering online harassment as a result of her association with the England footballer.

Since then, it seems that she and Grealish have taken yet another sabbatical, enabling the Manchester City footballer to meet new individuals, with Atack being the primary object of his attention.
