The couple have fuelled rumours for months with their close friendship but denied they were an item as far back as July.
They first caused tongues to start wagging after making fun Tik Toks together, getting cosy over games of Twister, going on nights out and wearing one another’s dressing gowns.
But Chris – who was coupled up with Harley Brash on the show – and Maura – who split up with her Love Island date Curtis Pritchard last year – constantly denied the rumours.
When it was put to them that they’d make the perfect couple Chris replied: ‘Yeah, potentially. We’ve never really thought about it like that, we’re just super close mates.
‘We care about each other, we look out for each other, we basically bully each other.’
