“We worked together on Carpool Karaoke,” Jonathan told DailyMail.com last year. “ It was the very first time we ever met, and it was, I’m not going to lie, it was simultaneous sparks. It was unlike anything I have ever experienced and it was quite special.

Drew asked Zooey: ‘When you first saw him on Carpool Karaoke – I want to know from your end – did you know he was flirting with you? ”
“Yes, yes …” she replied. “You were a very gentleman. I actually asked my publicist, who is also one of my best friends, “Do you think he was flirting?” And she said, “Oh, yeah.” ‘
Instant Chemistry: Scott said they had ‘simultaneous sparks’ on Carpool Karaoke, and he admitted his flirtation demanded bits from the episode be removed.
But Jonathan’s brother could tell that sparks were flying between the two as soon as he saw the footage.
‘When we saw the first cut [of the episode] from Corden’s gang there, I looked at her and I was like yeah, she’s definitely flirting with Jonathan, ” he said.
