The Only way Is Essex star, Ricky Rayment has expressed a desire to duet with his girlfriend, and co-star, Jessica Wright!

Ricky has been seeing Jessica -who has just released her first ever single, since April – and has revealed he would like them to become the next celebrity duet.

Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, Ricky commented: ”Everyone says I can sing. Jess says I can sing too. Everyone says, ‘Why don’t you sing?’ because I’m always singing as I love music.

”We could be the next Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman and release a track like ‘Something Stupid’.”

The next series of the hit ITV2 reality show was today confirmed and is due to air on July 22, and according to reports, Jessica’s new single will be featured in it.

According to Ricky the couple’s relationship is still very much going strong, and he insists that the chemistry is real and not put on for the camera, unlike some other reality couples.

He said: ”All the producers were a bit unsure whether we were just ‘doing it’ at first, but our relationship – unlike all the other relationships on the show that have formed on camera – is the most real because ours wasn’t being filmed when we were getting together.”

The new series of The Only Way Is Essex starts on July 22nd at 10pm on ITV2 / ITV2 HD.
