The two hooked up with each other at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

"Everyone is now talking about Sam and Andy," mirror.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

Newton Lee played Robbie Flynn in "Hollyoaks" in 2004 and has since moved to Los Angeles and built up a successful business, Next Stop LAX, a relocation and visa consultancy service for entertainment industry professionals.

The source said: "Everyone is now talking about Sam and Andy after they got close at Coachella, but it's still very early days. Andy is aware he's been texting other guys and doesn't quite know what to make of it at the moment.

"Sam's messages can be sporadic and he's still been messaging TayTay in recent weeks, claiming he's still into him. Andy is also upset the news has spread because he's still confused about his sexuality and isn't openly gay back home. He's worried how some people he knows in Hull in East Yorkshire are going to react when they hear about him and Sam."

The source also added that Newton Lee had been trying to keep the news quiet for the past few weeks.

But he did post an image of the singer on his social media accounts, along with a cheeky face after seeing his concert at Coachella with Disclosure.
