Frankie Sandford has reportedly grown increasingly close to JLS singer Aston Merrygold.

The Saturdays star has turned to the Everybody In Love hitmaker for a shoulder to cry on following her split from McFly bassist Dougie Poynter, and Aston is said to be keen to take things further with the brunette beauty.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's still early days but there's so much chemistry between them.

"Frankie and her bandmate Rochelle Wiseman were backstage at the JLS show in London cheering on their boys and screaming incredibly loudly.

"At a party a few days later Frankie took Aston by the hand and was leading him around. He was looking at her like a love sick puppy and hung on to her every word.

"He didn't want to let her go. They looked so cute together - easily the best-looking couple in the place."

Despite the fact she is still upset over the end of her year-long romance, Frankie, 21, is determined to find love again soon.

The source added: "Work commitments tore Frankie and Dougie apart. Aston has been so sweet by offering her support. She's now looking for love. She wants to get back out there and find her Mr. Right."

Aston's bandmate Marvin Humes is currently dating another member of The Saturdays, Rochelle.
