When it comes to Celebs Go Dating there is always going to be a risk that the celebs looking for love decide to hook up with each other.

The experts spend all that time and effort finding the perfect match, only for a Made in Chelsea star and a TOWIE icon to get it on; we’re looking at you Miles Nazaire and Chloe Brockett.

Chloe and Miles aren’t the only ones though; Liv Bentley and Love Island OG Joshua Ritchie also shared a romantic dalliance (before Sophie Piper, obv) and there is a whole host of other celebs who have misbehaved.

We managed to catch up with the celebs taking part in this year's series and ask them about which fellow hopeful romantics connected on the show.

Chatting to Gogglebox’s Stephen Webb and Corrie actress Helen Flanagan, the soap star revealed who she has a soft spot for.

“I feel like I bonded with everyone really, I really love Chris [Taylor]. I think I got on really well with Chris,” she confessed.

We immediately started imagining Helen and Chris going on dates and her featuring in his TikTok prank videos but we MAY have jumped the gun with that one.

“What I like about him as well is that he does really understand reality shows, whereas being an actress I’m not as understanding about reality shows.”

The All Stars Islander isn’t the only reality TV star taking part in Celebs Go Dating; Tristan Phipps from MIC and MAFS UK bride Ella Morgan also feature, as does former Googlebox fan fave Stephen.

“I found Chris was very supportive of me with anything that I maybe found a bit difficult, he was there, I could speak to him,” she added.

This does sound like some sort of cute brother/sister bond rather than a secret love affair and we are here for it.

WATCH: So THIS is why Ayo would talk in riddles in the villa 😂
