The Saturdays singer and the hunky sportsman are ready to take their budding relationship to the next level after weeks of flirting on social networking site twitter.

A friend of Broad told the Daily Star: ”Mollie and Stuart have been following each other on twitter for a while.

”They’ve been chatting in private on twitter and have really hit it off. Stuart has told close friends he plans to take Mollie out for dinner this Saturday.”

The 26-year-old fast bowler is currently part of the England team playing South Africa at The Oval, Kennington, and wants to make the most of being near to King.

The friend added:”He doesn’t have any strict England curfews. He will be free on Saturday night to go out for a posh dinner with Mollie and enjoy a few drinks.”

King, 25, has been linked to Prince Harry, but the prince was spotted flirting with socialite Cressida Bonas this week.

Broad could be a handy consolation prize since the Higher singer has recently joked about liking men in uniform.

She said: ”I’m single. The girls are going to set me up on dates – I hope! Bring me a nice sailor and I’m there!”
