They have always claimed they are just good friends and have never taken their relationship to the next level.
But Chloe Sims and Pete Wicks appear to be getting ever closer after a night out in Mayfair.
The pair have been buddies for years - and tormented fans who are desperate for them to get together again this weekend.
The TOWIE twosome looked like they hadn't seen each other in months as they partied in London.
Chloe, 37, looked her leggy best and giggled the night away.
Pete - who is still looking for love after appearing on Celebs Go Dating last year - let his trademark long hair down as they enjoyed some time together.
The 31-year-old hunk later jumped in a taxi with his favourite friend after the boozy bash.
It's not the only time they have got fans all excited, of course.
The singletons only added fuel to the fire late last year when he wished Chloe a happy 36h birthday with a very cosy looking picture of the two of them.
In the photo they sit on a rock at the seaside, with Pete planting a kiss on his pretty pal's head as she leaned in close with her hand on his knee.
Pete told her that he'd be "lost without her" in the caption, which also included a red love heart emoji.
The picture sent his followers wild - with many begging the pair to get together.
One commented: "Just get together already! Sometimes the best love story starts as best friends."
"Why are you guys not together already?" another posted.
A third said: "Can’t you just get together? You both love each other!!!!!! One day maybe?"
Another agreed: "About time you two become a couple ain't it... I love you two together. You're perfect together."
But it seems we're going to have to wait to see if there's a romantic twist to come.
