When asked by host Julia Morris if what viewers saw was just a 'great friendship', Josh agreed simply replying, "Definitely."

"We're like brother and sister, and she's the younger sister," the 33-year-old further clarified.

Not taking 'just friends' as a sufficient answer, I'm A Celeb co-host Dr Chris Brown pushed further asking if there is the possibility of a blossoming romance outside the jungle.

"There's going to be no zero to a hundred mate," Josh said. "There's going to be no babies, no relationship."

Josh clarified himself even further, breaking our hearts for any potential romance.

"She's going to go back to LA, I'm going to move to Sydney and we will both be single," he firmly stated.
