Celebs Go Dating star Olivia Bentley has dished the dirt on the rumours she is dating her co star Joshua Ritchie , 25.
They both appeared on the show to find love with hand-picked candidates, but it was reported they ended up having eyes for one another.
It was alleged they were "secretly dating" but not making things public so as not to ruin the suspense of the show.
But Olivia, 24, has firmly denied there is any truth to these rumours, insisting they are just "good mates".
She told The Sun : No, we’re not [together], I’ve actually known Josh for like five years.
“He’s one of my really good mates and I get on really well with him. I find him hilarious, but there’s nothing physically or sexually attractive. We’re not attracted to each other like that.
“I mean he is sweet, but you know when you’ve known someone for so long - you don’t find them like that.”
Both celebs have a lot in common as Olivia found fame on Made In Chelsea while Josh appeared on Love Island .
He was in a long term relationship with Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby, but signed up to the show just weeks after their relationship ended.
Rumours had been circulating the couple started secretly dating each other as early as February.
A source told MailOnline : “Josh and Olivia have been getting on like a house on fire.
"They started seeing each other in secret at the beginning of February and their romance has really blossomed.
"Until recently they had really tried to keep their feelings for each other private for the sake of the show.”
Celebs Go Dating has a history of unintentionally and accidentally bringing a romantic union between the single celebrity stars looking for love.
Megan Barton-Hanson started dating Demi Sims after they struck up a connection on the show.
Stephanie Pratt and Joey Essex also enjoyed a romance following their chance meeting while filming.
During a recent episode filmed in November, Joshua expressed he still had a "lot of love" for Charlotte.
But Joshua explained their differences come down to his ex being desperate to get married and have kids while he wasn't ready to commit.
He said: "I care for her, I still do have a lot of love for her and I respect her.
"The thing is, she wants to have a family, she wants children, which I understand. She wants to get married."
