Jemma Lucy and Stephen Bear take relationship to the next level… by getting matching tattoos
Jemma was Bear's emotional support during a day-long inking session when the pair got two halves of a heart on their hands.
JEMMA Lucy and Stephen Bear have cemented their tight bond in the best way they know how - by getting matching tattoos.
The Ex on the Beach twosome showed off their new ink on Snapchat, adding to weeks of speculation about whether or not they were an item.
Yesterday, Jemma, 28, acted as emotional support to Bear, 26, as she drove with him to the tattoo parlour to get a new addition to his arm - a portrait of Heath Ledger's Joker from Batman film The Dark Knight.
In one video, she was seen teasing the star as she already has a tattoo of the same person on the opposite arm.
After spending hours waiting around for him, it appeared Jemma got the itch for a new tattoo herself, and the pair ended the day long session with the artist by getting to halves of a heart etched onto each other's hands.
In a sweet picture, the heart becomes complete when the duo hold hands.
Has their friendship blossomed into a relationship?

Jemma has maintained that she is just friends with the Celebrity Big Brother winners, despite posting Snapchat videos of her in bed with him where they both appeared to be naked.
She said at the time: “We’ll have a little cuddle in bed but there’s nothing more to it.
“Bear won Big Brother and then got in touch with me, we’re just good friends and we’re having a good time.
“Me and Bear are so close, we’re just good friends there’s nothing more to it.”
The pair also turned up to an event wearing matching blue and black outfits at a swanky event at an Essex spa back in mid-September, which initially sparked the rumours after they spent the night there.
Last week, Bear was spotted hitting the town in a t-shirt with Jemma's face on it, after spending a day with her where she was taken to his family home and introduced to his beloved cats.
However, the lothario has still been seen cuddling up to a bevvy of ladies in nightclubs during his appearances.
When the rumours started, Jemma took to Twitter and wrote: "Can I please state that bear is my very good friend and that's it! WE ARE NOT DATING why can't two people be close mates without all this.”
