Ed Westwick is in Australia for the launch of Virgin Mobile's Smart Cap plans with unlimited text and, perhaps, a vacation.

Although there are reports that he and "Gossip Girl" co-star Jessica Szohr, whom he broke up with in April, might be getting back together, it seems that the English actor is in no way like his charmingly creepy onscreen character Chuck Bass.

Westwick told Confidential yesterday that he had not seen his companions from the TV series during their production break.

"I saw Chace [Crawford] one night but that's it," he said.

Last night on Nova radio, he spoke of the tattoo on his chest which reads "Heartbreak Hotel", suggestively saying "there are vacancies".

In a TV interview, Westwick said: "I've been getting a lot of marriage requests.

"I'm not married. I'm very much single right now.

"No girlfriend, no."

As for his 23rd birthday, which he celebrated in London on Sunday, he said: "It was a happy birthday but unfortunately it coincided with England being beaten by Germany in the World Cup.

"I had a barbecue with friends and family at my parents' house.

"It wasn't too big but it was good fun."

The star said he is happy with the perks of the fame that he got from being casted in "Gossip Girl".

"I get to do things like go to Australia, meet loads of people. It's great.

"We've had a good run with Gossip Girl as well. We're into the fourth season now, it's great."
