Last week the Love Island 2019 stars drove fans wild when they took part in the 'Kiss your best friend' challenge on Instagram.

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

Chris and Maura, who now lives in Essex, have been linked for months, after she split from fellow Love Islander Curtis Pritchard.

But she had insisted they were 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.
