LUCY Mecklenburgh and Ryan Thomas are seen kissing for the first time in a sneak peek of next week’s Celebrity Island.

The former Towie star and Corrie actor – who only went public with their romance last month – are seen bonding very quickly on the show and in the second episode their relationship moves out of the friendship zone as they enjoy a smooch.

In the preview for next week of Bear Gryll’s show Ryan, 33, is seen flashing his bum and Lucy, 25, frolics in the sea, looking amazing in a black bikini.

Watching them Iwan Thomas declares: ”Look at these love birds.”

While funny man Mark Watson, remarks: “Imagine if they had a baby – the bum on that – in a non dodgy way. That came out wrong.”

In scenes that were filmed back in April, they are then seeing kissing on the beach, while Ryan can be heard saying: “We need each other.”

Seeing their romance heat up, one of the other Islanders commented: “They found love in a hopeless place.”

Last month Lucy shared her first selfie with the actor as they partied in Ibiza.

But while they're put on a public loved-up display in the snap, Lucy told The Sun that she's keen to keep the relationship as private as possible.

She explained: "It’s no secret that we’ve been on holiday together and I’ve had a really lovely time. Life’s good."

Revealing why she has chosen to keep thing private this time round, she explained: "I was put on national television two weeks into being 19 years old.

"When I was hurt, it all played out on camera and it was really tough."

"I grew up and learned those horrible lessons that all girls and guys do – but on TV with millions of people judging.

"Now I want to keep more close to me. That’s how I want to do it.”

The couple first sparked speculation they were dating after recording finished in April ,  after Lucy posted a nude bathroom selfie from Ryan’s hotel room.
