Sinitta made the wild claim in last night’s I’m A Celebrity South Africa that she had a romance with Brad Pitt – but did they really date?!

The 80s pop icon, 62, wowed her campmates as she revealed she enjoyed a fling with Brad, also 62, years ago.

Sinitta even claimed she and the Hollywood star “did everything”, hinting at their between-the-sheets antics.

The singer told Scarlett Moffatt: “He was a jobbing actor. Gorgeous!”

Scarlett asked: “Did you kiss and that?” Sinitta replied: “Everything!” She also told Ashley Roberts that Brad was a “mighty fine” kisser.

Did Sinitta really date Brad Pitt?

Sinitta has spoken about Brad Pitt a lot over the years. She previously told The Sun that she would be approached by showbiz agents in the 80s and asked if she wanted to ‘date’ the men on their books.

The singer claimed she initially turned Brad down, saying: “Why would I date anybody I’ve not met?’ I didn’t know who he was.”

However, Sinitta says she pulled a big U-turn when she saw a picture of the hunky actor. He was starring in US drama Dallas at the time and Sinitta called his agent back.

“We met and just clicked,” she added. “We were both quiet people, Christian, normal and healthy people underneath our crazy, public lifestyles.”

In 1988, Sinitta and Brad were pictured together at the Smash Hits Poll Winners’ Party in London. The snap shows Sinitta cuddled into Brad’s back while she clutches a drink in one hand.

Brad, meanwhile, is wearing a distressed leather jacket and is gazing at the camera with his blue eyes and floppy hair.

But their romance wasn’t to be. Shortly after the Smash Hits Poll Winners’ Party, Sinitta and Brad went their separate ways.

Sinitta has since told OK! magazine that she and Brad split because of “long distance”.

She said: “He was based in LA and had to be there for auditions and filming, whereas I was always off on tour. And I need my men to be around and be with me.”

What has Brad said about Sinitta?

Interestingly, Brad appears to have never spoken publicly about his fling with Sinitta. There is no record of him ever uttering her name in an interview or on television.

In contrast, Sinitta has dropped the B-bomb many times over the years. In fact, she even spoke about Brad the last time she was on I’m A Celebrity.

Sinitta told her jungle campmates in 2011: “I saw him for two years. He was fun, he was young and very sweet. Some ardent fan gave me a slap when I came out of a supermarket over that relationship.

“It was before he made Thelma & Louise but even I saw that movie and thought ‘Oh my God, what have I done?'”

Our summary… it was a very one-sided romance!
