While in the jungle, romance rumours were sparked among their fellow camp mates, but it appears that Ferne McCann and George Shelley's budding relationship is still in full swing even after the cameras stopped rolling.
The two reality stars, who finished in second and third place, have denied claims that their relationship is a 'showmance', all the while admitting that they have true feelings for each other.
The TOWIE babe confessed her love for George on today's This Morning, even though the pair have never even shared a kiss.
"I skipped the fancy stage – I love him! We get on very well as friends… I’m going really red and hot!" Ferne gushed.
While George added, "We obviously have a connection, and we are looking forward to seeing what happens."
On the ‘showmance’ claims, Ferne said: "People keep saying that it must be a “showmance” but it’s the complete opposite.
"What we have is genuine, we’ve got a fantastic friendship but we have just got back! But we haven't kissed – the British public love a romance."
We have to admit that Lauren Goodger has been looking FAB in recent months. And many of us questioned just how she completely turned her body around to the toned physique it is today.
Well, we won't have to wait much longer to find out her secrets as Lauren has confirmed she is releasing a workout DVD on St Stephen's Day.
The reality star dropped an impressive five dress sizes and is finally sharing her tips with fans on her new DVD, called Lauren's OMG! Workout.
In a sneak peak of her project, the former TOWIE star is seen wearing a full face of make up while while parading around a studio in orange gym gear.
In the DVD, Lauren says: "I tried for years to lose it but nothing worked. But this system's done it for me. I lost four stone and dropped five dress sizes."

Lauren showcased her curves in a grey, body-conscious knitted dress, with the figure-hugging material clinging to her figure.
Meanwhile on Friday, the Essex girl seemed to confirm the rumours that she's making a comeback to TOWIE after sharing a selfie with the caption '#filming'.

She wrote: 'Thank you for lovely make up today @katiebishopmakeup #filming'.
The selfie comes after reports that she's going to appear on the reality show for a Christmas special after a three-year absence.
Lauren was one of the founding members of the reality TV series when it started back in 2010 and she has been spotted filming with current TOWIE stars this week.
The Mirror reports that Lauren will make an appearance alongside Gemma Collins and Mario Falcone, who both quit the show this year.
"Lauren went through a lot of drama on the show so it was quite a big deal for her to come back. Mario and Gemma are still friends with many of the cast so it was easy for them to slot back in," a source says.
"She's worked hard to slim down and overhaul her image since quitting the show, meaning she'll be even ballsier than before. Essex won't know what's hit it."
Certainly so, and we can't wait to find out what happens!
Lauren Goodger split with Jake McLean for the second time little under a month ago, but now it seems that everything is forgotten as the pair are back together again.
The formerTOWIEstar posted a cosy photo on Instagram of the pair enjoying a date night together over the weekend.
"You are a pain in the a**e but I love you," she captioned the photo, alongside heart and kiss emojis.
They pair are hoping it's third time lucky after they have endured two previous break-ups.
Most recently, they split last month over what Lauren claimed was a "silly splat."
In her New! column, the reality star updated her fans on her love life: "As most of you may know, Jake and I had a little break from each other… but we're talking again and have spent a bit of time together."
The pair first started dating in 2012 and enjoyed a year-long romance before splitting up before Christmas 2013. They then rekindled their relationship in June of this year.
We're massive fans of the strong-brow look around these parts: in fact, we say the fuller the better.
However, we had to raise, well raise an eyebrow to Lauren Goodger's makeup-free look when we spotted snaps of her leaving the gym earlier today.
Without her usual layers of slap – her brows were visible in all their natural (so to speak) state.
And wowsers are they seriously FIERCE.
However, it seems that online commentators we're not entirely supportive of the 29-year-old's striking style.
"Liam Gallagher called, he wants his eyebrows back," said one – with another suggesting: "Her eye-brows make her look as though she passed out at a stag party."
Of course, the former Towie star and businesswoman has lost a significant amount of weight throughout 2015, an achievement a third observer reckoned she could easily build on.
"She would lose another stone if she wiped them off!" they said lightheartedly.
It's not all fun and games in the reality TV world; something that Lauren Pope has come to understand.
The Essex native has recently revealed that she was "pushed out" of reality TV show, TOWIE by the other women taking part and claims that she was frozen out of the TOWIE social circle too.
The 33-year-old, who quit the program after five years, has admitted that she was heavily mocked on the last series of the show.
The DJ told the Mirror Online: "They took the mick out of the way I look and did impressions of my face – stuff like that. I'd rather they picked on my personality because you can't change the way you look.
"There was a small group of girls and they all followed one another by sharing one common dislike – me. I suppose it's easy when you're in a group to just find one girl to pick on and make her your target.
But even though Lauren claims they mocked her, she also said that she didn't feel like she was bullied, just left out.
"I didn't feel bullied as such but they did make me feel really uncomfortable. It was like being back at school. I felt pushed out, particularly last series. I didn't feel part of that social circut."
Ms Pope had to keep her exit from TOWIE a secret for several weeks, which she said was particularly difficult to keep from her loyal fans.
"It's been really hard because TOWIE has some hardcore fans. They've been tweeting me and I haven't been able to respond," the reality star said.
But it's not all bad news for the blonde beauty as she has recently hired new management and has also launched Hair Rehab London Academy.
"TOWIE was a huge part of my life and leaving was a scary decision but I wanted to take a step back and work on my business because all of this could end at any minute."
A sleek fitted jacket and figure-hugging leather pants… Not everyone would have the confidence to step out in such a daring look, but Lauren Goodger is clearly loving her new svelte shape.
The reality star stunned fans yesterday when she posted an outfit snap to Instagram, showing her ex-boyfriend Jake McLean just what he's missing.

Despite her "strong not skinny" ethos, the slim star came under fire earlier this month when she accidentally posted a tweet about anorexia.
The tweet, which read "Yeah team anorexic," was intended as a direct message for her brother Tony, and Lauren says the whole thing was just a silly joke.
"We've got a private joke about me being able to slip under the door soon because I'll be that slim," she explained.
"It was a really, really stupid thing to write because as you know I'm not a fan of skinny."
After 16 years with the series, one of the last original cast members of The Only Way Is Essex, Lauren Pope, is saying goodbye.
The model-turned-DJ has apparently decided to leave the ITVBe reality series in order to spend more time on her other business pursuits.
A source has told the MailOnline: “Lauren has decided to leave as her business ventures are demanding too much of her time.”
“Her various businesses are doing really well and she’s expanding internationally and just can’t give the time that TOWIE requires.”
It was also noted that while Lauren feels that now is the right stage to move on, after five years with the series, producers for TOWIE would love for her to stay.
Before joining the cast Lauren had already had success as a DJ and her hair Rehab London company was going strong. Little Mix are also reported to be huge fans of Lauren's and a valued client.
The Mirror also reports a source as saying Lauren has had “a couple of other TV offers, which she might test the water with.”
Lauren, 33, will continue filming until the end of the current series and leave during the next break in filming which the cast will have.
She joined that cast in 2010 during the first series as a love interest of Kirk Norcross. She also enjoyed romances with other cast members including Lewis Bloor and Dan Edgar.
Jessica Wright, James 'Arg' Argent, Lydia Bright and Nanny Pat are the only original cast members left, following Lauren’s departure.
It's all over (yet again) for Lauren Goodger and Jake McLean.
The former TOWIE star and badboy Jake got back together in May of this year, two years after they split up the first time.
But despite romantic trips to Paris and Lauren getting his name inked on herself, the couple are no longer speaking.
The 29-year-old told New! Magazine: "Me and Jake aren't talking at the moment and haven't done for about a week now.
"He's not currently staying with me and I am focusing on my training, my career and myself.
"Sometimes you just need five minutes out, and I'm so busy right now that I haven't really had a chance to stop and give our situation any proper thought."
Even though it's all over now, the couple were seen only a few weeks ago looking very happy; but have now unfollowed each other on Instagram and Jake deleted all his pictures of Lauren from the site.
However, Ms Goodger has insisted that that pair have not had a major falling out.
"We haven't had any major rows and nothing has actually happened but we are both stressed out with our own lives and I seem to bear the brunt of it,” she said.
"Don't get me wrong, it's been horrible but what I do know is that I can't afford to have anything or anyone distract me from my focus."
The break-up has no doubt come as a huge blow for Lauren who stated in an interview that she wanted children with Jake and even got his name tattooed on her wrist.
She previously had Mark Wright's name tattooed on her too. Third time lucky, Lauren?
Still, it certainly seems that Geordie Shore beauty Marnie has bounced back from heartache: she's just been unveiled as the new face of Lovehoney Lingerie… and an accompanying photoshoot is all sorts of seriously sexy.
The 23-year-old is also defiant when asked what she reckons Mr Rayment would think of the resulting campaign snaps.
"I am pleased with my figure. I'm never going to be a catwalk waif but I don't want to be one – I love my curves," the former Miss Newcastle explains.
"I think my best feature is my legs – they are long and slender and whenever I put on my weight it never goes on my thighs, which is a blessing."
And although she hasn't been single for long, Ms Simpson is nevertheless still considering possible future romances.
Indeed, Lauren Silverman should probably watch out: Marnie has her eye on 56-year-old Simon Cowell – as she reckons the X Factor boss is the "one man who might be able to keep me in line".
The reality TV star adds: "I think he is gorgeous and I have such a crush on him."
She goes on to explain that she was thrilled to be asked to be the new face of Lovehoney Lingerie's autumn/winter Enchant Me collection – which has been inspired by Russian love stories.
At the time of Marnie and Ricky's split, a friend of the latter told OK! Online that although the Towie star initially hoped he and Marnie could patch-up their differences, he ultimately couldn't get over the fact that she had kissed her fellow cast member, Aaron Chalmers.
However, Ms Simpson herself has attributed the break-up to their constant arguing. "We just weren't getting on," she previously explained.
"He'd say it was because we were spending too much time together, but if you're engaged why is that an issue?"
They first got together in January after meeting at a National Television Awards after-party and they then became engaged in June.
She sensationally quit last year after just 72hours – but Gemma Collins was still said to be desperate to give I’m A Celebrity another go in 2015.
However, her Aussie outback ambitions have now been thwarted: ITV producers have sensationally blocked her from participating.
And they’re citing medical grounds as the reason.
Yes, following the standard psychological screening that all potential contestants partake in, the former Towie star has been deemed “too vulnerable”.
And according to The Sun, she is pretty devastated by their decision.
“Gemma is gutted because she was desperate to give it another go,” a source told the paper.
“She’s in the best shape of her life but docs feared another repeat of last year’s early exit.
“Despite losing weight and brimming with confidence, they felt she still wasn’t strong enough to cope with the demands.
“ITV still want her to be involved with the show in some capacity. They think she’s TV gold.”
Gemma’s brief time in the Celebrity Jungle was characterised by ongoing – and usually totally irrational – fears relating to just about everything.
Indeed, at one point she believed she had contracted malaria and she was often filmed in floods of tears.
In a further blow, it is believed that Ms Collins actually turned down a place on the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother just so she could secure her place on I’m A Celeb.
With Louis Walsh already confirming he’s been chatting to producers about an appearance on the hit show, the potential I’m A Celebrityline-up for 2015 is already looking like one of the strongest yet.
Ant and Dec will, of course, front the show – and it will begin airing on an as-yet unconfirmed date next month.
Reality TV star Lauren Goodger has come under fire from fans after she took to Instagram with what some are calling an anti-feminist post.
The former TOWIE star, who has 580,000 followers on the social media app, posted this quote:
However, the quote itself was not what sparked unrest among her followers. Instead it was how Lauren chose to caption the image that ruffled some feathers.
The 29-year old, who is currently dating Jake McLean captioned the image:
“I always will want the best for my man. I don’t believe in all the new generation..if your hungry I will feed you, if you’re cold I will get you a blanket, if you’re back hurts I will massage you and run you’re bubble bath…”
She continued by adding that she doesn’t believe in anything “but making my man feel loved and secure.” Lauren also admitted that she doesn’t mind cleaning up after her boyfriend either.
“If you leave your clothes on the floor I will pick them up and tidy the house,” she wrote and added that she doesn’t mind tucking Jake into bed at night either.
“When you go to sleep I will bring you a glass of milk and say you’re beautiful…”
The response from social media users not exactly in support of some of Lauren’s statements:
“Ultimate cringe. There’s caring then there’s utter submission. Let men be men and don’t try so hard,” one user wrote.
Another added: “You’re in for a shock if you think this is possible when you’ve got kids plus why would your man want you to act like his mother too.”
“It’s like feminism never happened,” added more users.
Lauren had also received criticism from fans earlier this week when she posted a video of herself singing along to a Pia Mia song in the car.
However, some fans were quick to jump her defence: “Get a grip and stop slating the poor girl, jealousy will get you nowhere in life, if you don't like her don't follow her simple as that.”
