Selena Gomez invited Union J singer George Shelley on a date via video message, and he has accepted. Shelley admits the video made him blush and he didn’t even believe it was her at first.

Gomez, 21, made the message for Shelley, 20, who’s part of a band that was formed on X Factor, when she was in London on the CBBC show Friday Download in June.

“Hey, George, it’s Selena. I was in London for a bit and I’m bummed I missed you so next time give me call,” she said in the message.

In response, Shelley told The Mirror “Selena’s one of those massive celebrities who doesn’t even know you exist, so I was gob-smacked. I thought it was a lookalike at first. I could feel my cheeks going red and the lads laughed at me.”

Shelley will meet up with Gomez when his band supports her on her European tour when it stops in Lisbon, Portugal.

He added, "I will try to call Selena beforehand so it's not too awkward when we meet. My perfect date would be to go the beach at night. We could have a little bonfire."

MTV notes Shelley also denied rumors he’s dating Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson, saying she’s “one of my best mates. We're really close.”
