Yet, despite the TOWIE star telling the Geordie Shore hunk that they would only ever "just be friends", the pair were inseparable at the post-eviction party.
As they hit Watford together with a group of pals, the former housemates couldn't keep their hands off each other.
The pair were seen kissing and cuddling - although Mark Wright's ex-girlfriend seemed very aware of the cameras following them, striking a pose mid-smooch.

Ricci and Lauren headed back to their hotel together at 4am, after stop stopping at a local garage and grabbing wine, mixers and spirits for an after party.
Talking in his eviction interview, Vicky Pattison's ex said: "We clicked. I sat her down and said 'I want to be real with you. Do you want to be friends or shall we see what happens?' and she said 'let's see what happens'.
"During the day she would distance herself sometimes. And I didn't know how to take that."
But Lauren was quick to defend herself, saying: "I was completely honest at the beginning, but as time went on I felt cornered.
"I think I've been completely honest. Our relationship grew and I thought we'd give it a go then he went a bit funny and I felt pressured. I can't force something."
Could her feelings may have changed following her eviction?
