But Hayley efficiently silenced the rumble as she spoke for the first time about her ‘close’ relationship with Tom in an interview in the May-June issue of Country and town house.
“I felt like if I ever worried about it I could talk to him [Tom]the newly engaged star said of the dating rumours.
“And I know he would have said, ‘People say what they want to say, but you know who you are, I know who I am, and I want you to feel safe in this environment.'”
