Sinitta has declared that her former flame Brad Pitt has been back in touch in the wake of his separation from wife Angelina Jolie.

Fans hoping to see the couple, who dated in 1988, back together again will be disappointed to learn that her remarks were simply said in jest, Daily Mail reports.

Appearing on Alan Carr's New Year Specstacular, Sinitta, 53, was given advice from the show's host that she should get back in touch with the Hollywood movie star.

"Call me Cupid, but Brad Pitt is single again and you two used to date didn't you?" Alan said.

"We did! We did," Sinitta replied. "He has been calling and you know what I said? 'Brad. Move on.'"

Clearly joking about this, Alan went on to ask her: "Is he a good kisser?"

"He is a very good kisser!" she announced.

Alan had further suggestions for the former pop star.

"Maybe if you did get back together your couple name could be Brinitta, or just Sad?" he offered.

"I like Braditta!" the So Macho songstress replied.

Sinitta dated the hunky actor in the late 1980s, when they were both in their twenties.

At the time, he was a budding movie star and she was a pop singer.

Both have been married, and divorced, since; with Sinitta's marriage to Andy Wilner lasting from 2002-2010, and Brad's marriage to Jennifer Aniston running from 2000-2005.

He is now about to go through his second divorce, this time to Angelina, whom he married just two years ago, in 2014.

At the time they announced their shock split, over the summer of this year, Sinitta became swept up in a misconstrued remark that suggested she had something to do with the separation.

Her insistence that their split was "nothing to do with her" set tongues wagging and speculating that it indeed was to do with her.

She promptly set the record straight on an appearance on talk show Lorraine, explaining that she meant it wasn't her place to say anything, rather than meaning to suggest she was somehow involved in the breakdown of their relationship.
