But it looked more than a little romantic, with Chris, 29, whipping his shirt off, before lifting her above his head.

He posted the video of them kissing on Instagram tonight saying what a brilliant idea that challenge was.

Chris wrote: "Cheers Tiktok...bloody fantastic idea 😐 probs shouldn’t have lunged in fairness.

"If anyone’s confused about why I took my top off...go watch Crazy, Stupid Love immediately 😘."

One fan wrote: "Omg 😍😍😍 this made me squeal with excitement - I need to get a life!!"

Another posted: "They already loved up! The good guys always win ❤️❤️❤️❤️."

Chris and Maura, also 29, have been linked for months, after she split from fellow Love Islander Curtis Pritchard.

But she has long insisted they are not dating, telling fans: "We are the best of friends."

She recently said, when asked during a Q&A video: "This was the first question that came in and I'm not even a bit surprised.

"No, we're not dating. We are the best of friends. We just get on really well. We got on really well in villa, but not a lot of that was shown."

In August, The Sun revealed Maura had spent the night at Chris's house after the pair went on a night out bowling and ice-skating together.
