ULRIKA Jonsson, 54, says she shared a "special" moment with Marty McKenna, 26, as he claims she fancies him.
The pair enjoyed a flirty friendship while filming for Celebs Go Dating - and their chemistry showed during an interview with The Sun.
Our video footage shows Geordie Shore star Marty cheekily say "she fancies us, like", as embarrassed Ulrika put her head in her hands.
Grilled on whether the feeling is mutual, mum of four Ulrika replied: "I think Marty is absolutely delicious, but he's also a right pain in the a***."
Marty - who joins the Celebs Go Dating agency tonight - hit back: "Shut up Ulrika, you want it."
Ignoring his comment, Ulrika continued: "There's been a lovely vibe with this group.
"I didn't know any of them beforehand. I've loved the energy from the younger ones and Abz who's more my age.
"It's definitely made me feel younger."

But Marty insisted it was 54-year-old Ulrika who was the party animal of the group.
"I think you've made us feel younger," said Marty.
"I thought you were going to be dead old and mature.
"I was a bit shocked when I first met her, I couldn't get my head around it."
Ulrika admits she "hated" Marty when they first met because he wouldn't make eye contact with her.
But her feelings changed after an emotional scene they filming together, which will be shown later this series.
"We had a special moment," she explained.
"We can't talk about it, but I got to see a softer side to Marty."
Marty and Ulrika have joined the Celebs Go Dating agency in a bid to become luckier in love.
So-called bad boy Marty was handed a sex ban by the agents to try and make his relationships go the distance.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Marty said: "When I first met the agents they were like, 'So that's the problem. You're sleeping with people so quickly, so we're going to put you on dates with girls, and we're going to put you on a four date limit before you can sleep with them'."
Confessing that the ban was hard, Marty insisted he wanted to do as the agents said.
"It was hard," he said. "But you've just got to get on with it, haven't you? You've got to listen to those two agents."
