Love Island 2023 has come to an almighty end after the (totally worthy) underdogs Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan were crowned the new king and queen of the villa.

But, as the most wholesome couple to ever win the show figure out how they're going to spend the prize money, it seems romances that weren't quite hot enough to spark a match on the show are igniting into a full on flame out of it.

Just last week we reported that dumped Islanders Claudia Fogarty and Keanan Brand had found themselves spending a hell of a lot of time together, and from words of affirmation to acts of service (we're talking love languages here) we spy some some flirty behaviour from these two.

The duo added fuel to the fire when Claudia shared a mirror selfie of the two suited and booted for the Love Island final with the caption, "@keabrand_ tonight's date 🖤."

DATE? As in the romance isn't just a rumour? They wouldn't play with our hearts like this, would they?

Okay, we're playing pretty fast and loose with the word 'confirm', but Claudia and Keanan have been dropping some major hints that they could be more than friends recently.

The northern duo may be slammed with press interviews and all the chaos that comes with being a new reality TV / influencer type but have still managed to find some time for cute leisure activities together and this includes a little retail therapy.

Sharing a video on her Instagram story, Claudia could be heard giggling as she filmed Keanan carrying her shopping bags during a day out together with the caption, "Useful for something @keabrand_."

Both Claudia and Keenan were burnt at the hands of Casey O’Gorman during their Love Island stint. Claudia thought she’d found something special with the Essex lad and Keanan has his eye on bombshell Rosie Seabrook before Casey and his baby blues stole her away. All 5ft 9 of him.

Sorry we mean all 6ft of him as, according to dumped bombshell Cynthia Otseh-Taiwo, Casey only looks like a teeny tiny human because he is part of the three musketeers alongside giants Tom Clare and Will Young.

Everyone had hoped that when Keanan rocked up that him and Claudia would hit it off but despite being pals and even sharing a kiss or two during challenges there seemed no romance between them.

Fast forward to, well, now and as the couple seem to be spending every day together. Do we feel a little heat?

Claudia posted a gorge pic of herself with the caption, "Everyone’s favourite option is back on aftersun at 10pm tonight ☀️," and Keanan took the opportunity to show his affection for Claudia and commented, "Shhhiitttttttttt 🔥."

We're hoping it truly is real love - just like Zara Lackenby-Brown and Jordan Odofin, who went official with their relationship in classic Gen Z style via a bunch of TikTok's and Instagram Stories a few weeks back.
