A source close to Laura said: “Laura and Max have been going on secret dates for a number of weeks now. They’re really starting to get close and are definitely very well suited.

“He has really fallen for her and things are going well between them.”

While the pair have kept their romance under wraps, they’ve recently begun to flirt more openly on Instagram.

And when Laura called him a “copycat” for posting about his steamy calendar, he wrote: “When am I getting a signed laura Anderson calendar? Bring your drinking game tonight boss.”

Laura cheekily replied: “First print is yours lol sure #canyounhandlethis probably because I’m an amateur.”

Laura hinted at her new relationship on an Instagram story yesterday in response to her fellow Love Island stars calling her “bitter” for having an hour-long phone call with Paul’s ex after their split.

She said: “He is in the past which I’d like to keep that way. I’ve moved on, I’m happily seeing someone else, which I have chosen to keep private.”

Ex on the Beach star Max already boasts two failed relationships with Love Island beauties.

He coupled up with Jessica Hayes, 25, on the first series in 2015, but they split just 40 days after their victory.

He also briefly dated former Miss GB Zara Holland, 23, before she went on the show in 2016, but branded her “boring” and said their sex life was “nothing special or to write home about.”

He started dating Geordie Shore favourite Charlotte, 28, in September 2015, but dumped her after she kissed co-star and on/off lover Gaz Beadle, 30, on Snapchat.
