The former TOWIE star, 28, and Geordie Shore's Ricci, 27, were both evicted on Wednesday night, and headed straight for a night out together.

Following their eviction, Ricci admitted: "I really have feelings for her. She is a solid 10 worldie, as we Geordies say.

"I'd take a lie detector test to prove this isn't a showmance."

Despite making his feelings for Lauren clear from the start of CBB, Ricci was told time and time again they'd only be friends.

But Lauren seems to have changed her mind and is finally considering taking their relationship to the next level.

She said: "We are so similar. He is a good-looking boy. What's not to like about him? I'm not ruling out a serious relationship."

Speaking to the Daily Star, Ricci recalled meeting Lauren in a night club last year and liking her instantly.

He said: "We swapped numbers but nothing happened. So I was thrilled when I saw her in the Big Brother house."

Lauren admitted she'd thought Ricci was nice looking, confessing: "He is wicked. He is good-looking. Nice skin. Nice hands. Nice feet. We like the same things. He has such soft skin. It was nice to have a friendly face in there with me."

Despite initially insisting nothing was going to happen between her and Ricci because she's still not over her ex, Lauren added: "It was a heat of the moment thing. Feelings in there change daily. Three weeks seems like three months. Who knows what will happen?"

She also stated she doesn't care what her ex Mark Wright thinks of her behaviour in the house. Mark's cousin Elliott said that he would have been cringing, but Lauren isn't bothered.

She said: "[What I spoke about] is nothing we don't know and I shouldn't have to hide behind things and think 'oh no I can't talk about this' because it's my past, everyone's got one'."
