They recently denied they were anything more than friends, but Love Island's Zara McDermott appeared to confirm that she is dating pop singer Olly Murs.
After appearing on Victoria Derbyshire's BBC show, Victoria quizzed her on the rumours about her and Olly, 34, while filming her for Instagram stories.
Putting her on the spot somewhat, the presenter said: 'Are you dating Olly Murs?'
YES! Zara McDermott strongly hinted to Victoria Derbyshire on Tuesday that she IS dating Olly Murs as she giggled when asked about the romance and said 'he thinks I've got the X Factor'
Smitten: Olly had previously denied the romance despite strong rumours and said they were simply friends, even though he had been 'liking' all her bikini snaps
Zara, 21, who split from fellow Love Island contestant Adam Collard, 22, in February, refused to answer, but pulled a telling face, before getting the giggles.
One of her pals said: 'Did he slide into your DMs?' to which she yelled, 'No comment!'
Victoria said, 'from your reaction and your no comment, can we take that to mean you are?' and Zara gasped but said nothing.

The girls all then started singing Olly's song, Wrapped Up, much to her embarrassment.

Victoria was clearly pleased with her line of questioning and wrote: 'For those who love their showbiz, go to my insta stories to see what Zara McDermott said when I asked if she was going out with Olly Murs.'
One follower wrote: 'Nah, you’re OK, I’ll give that a swerve.'
She replied: '!!! It’s why I prefaced it ‘for those who love their showbiz’ !!'

'Now their romance is blossoming into a relationship. He treats her like a princess and is very complimentary about her.'
