His outing came after he sent tongues wagging by uploading a cosy photo of himself with India, 23. 

The TV star, who has denied he is dating the blonde beauty, beamed for the camera as she leaned on his shoulder. 

India, who plays his on-screen friend Peggy, moved in with Paul after meeting on the set of the drama, and despite just being pals, sources have claimed they have a very flirty relationship.

The Normal People series had been adapted from Sally Rooney’s book of the same name and tells the story of two teenagers in love from two different walks of life.
