JLS singer Ortise Williams has made no secret of the fact that he fancies the pants off pop star Nicki Minaj…

And he’s been trying to woo her since last summer, with a sustained campaign of compliments and flirty messages on Twitter and, rather unromantically, but most definitely suggestively, he sent her five packs of condoms that bore the image of his face.

As you do…

However, it seems his dedication to the cause might have paid off because he was spotted lurking around backstage at London’s Wireless festival where Nicki was performing.

The Daily Star reports that while Ortise was chatting backstage to bloggers Dead Cloud, he said, “We’re not performing today, it’s a day off. And I’ve just come to see Nicki Minaj. She’s sexy…

“I tried to hit her up on Twitter. I was trying to say, ‘I’m coming down Nicki and the swag is gonna be extra tight, you know what I’m saying?’

“She said, ‘well Oritse, I’m gonna see you backstage honey’

“I said ‘What’s going on Nicki? I’m gonna see you later on and if you’ve got something to do I’d cancel your plans ‘cos I’m making new ones.’”

When one of the bloggers asked if he was taking Nicki out on a date, Oritse replied, “Yeah.”

Geez, calm down Ortise…

Do you reckon Ortise and Nicki are a match made in heaven? And would you date a man who sent you condoms with his face on them?
