Jade Thirlwall has managed to find romance during Britain's ongoing lockdown as she is reportedly growing close to Rizzle Kicks singer Jordan Stephens.
The pair are said to have gone for their first date on Tuesday but made sure to maintain social distancing while going for a stroll together.
A source told The Sun: 'Jade has been open to dating for a while now but it can be hard to find the time to meet people usually.

'While stuck at home she started messaging Jordan and they have been getting on but it's still really early days.
'They met up for a walk on Tuesday afternoon to chat and get to know each other which was nice but nothing has happened between them yet.'
The source added that with the lockdown in place, Jade, 27, and Jordan, 28, are going to have to take things slow since they are not even allowed to kiss.
A representative for Jade declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline while Jordan's representatives have also been contacted.

The date marks the first hint of a new romance for the Little Mix singer since she split from her ex Jed Elliott after three years together last July.
The Struts frontman is now living in the US with his new girlfriend Ginny Gardner while Jade is self-isolating with her friends in London.
Jordan was previously dating Paolo Nutini's ex girlfriend Amber Anderson although they are believed to have gone their separate ways earlier this year.
Rizzle Kicks have released two albums so far, Stereo Typical in 2011 and Roaring 20s in 2013.

Since 2016, Jordan has released music under the stage names Wildhood and Al, the Native.
It comes just days after Jade admitted she 'can't be bothered' looking for love through online dating.
Jade told The Mirror: 'I can't be bothered. I'd rather sit and do nothing than have to sit and chinwag with a stranger.'
The singer has been living in her three-bed flat in Canary Wharf with her old friend Holly Robinson and fashion stylist Zack Tate.
Her apartment played part of the backdrop for part of the video for Little Mix's new single Break Up Song, which the group had to film from their respective homes.
