Maura Higgins leaned in for a steamy kiss with her friend as she took to Instagram with a cheeky video on Friday.
The Love Island star, 34, looked sensational in the clip as she wowed in a sheer black body con dress while away in Mykonos.
Cosying up to her close pal Luke Hamnett the pair leaned in for a passionate kiss as the caption read: 'We would be the perfect couple'.
However at the moment where it appeared the pair were about to lock lips, Maura swerved Luke's advance as the pair began to dance and the caption switched to 'But we both like men'.
Maura is thought to be currently single after her relationship with Pete Wicks came to an end earlier this year.

Maura has jetted off to the sunny location with fellow Love Island stars Sophie Piper and Samie Elishi for a brand trip with Space NK.
The trip comes after her big return to the red carpet, following her 'drunken' kiss scandal with McFly 's Danny Jones earlier this year.
The brunette beauty pulled out all the stops at the BAFTA TV Awards earlier this month, turning heads in a backless blue gown with a huge skirt.
But while she made sure all eyes were on her on her arrival, Maura was later pictured sitting alone during the ceremony and reportedly didn't stay long before making a sneaky backdoor exit.
In a photograph exclusively obtained by MailOnline, the presenter could be seen sitting by herself on her phone in her stunning ball gown at the event.
Meanwhile, in pictures published on The Sun, she later risked the wrath of BAFTA as she left an hour into the ceremony as she snuck into a taxi.
A source told the publication: 'Maura wanted her red carpet return to be a big moment. She thinks enough time has passed — she can't hide forever.'
Explaining how her huge dress meant she was uncomfortable in the cramped hall they continued: 'She was talking about her dress taking up too much space and was absolutely boiling.

'So she snuck out with pal Luke Hamnett while a nominations reel was shown. It'll be frowned upon in TV circles as the Baftas is an incredibly prestigious event and leaving is a big no-no.'
Maura hit the headlines in March, after she and Danny, 39, were spotted in a compromising clinch at the Universal Music's BRIT Awards afterparty, after appearing on I'm A Celeb together last year.
The married singer is said to no longer have a 'normal relationship' with his wife Georgia, 38, and while they are still living under the same roof, they now have 'separate lives'.
Both Danny and Maura have generally kept away from public events since the scandal, until her big return at the BAFTAs, where she kept mum on the kiss.
While she wasn't at risk of any awkward reunions with Danny as he reportedly skipped the ceremony to avoid 'putting a foot wrong' with his wife.
Danny previously issued a public apology to Georgia and their seven-year-old son Cooper, admitting he was 'deeply sorry' and vowing to deal with things privately.
It is over a month since Danny and Georgia have been pictured together in public after they seemingly put on a 'united front' and decided to remain in their 10-year relationship.
In Georgia's recent Instagram update on Wednesday, she shared a series of recent photos with Cooper and her friends - with Danny missing.

She captioned the post: 'Life lately… Friends, family, filming, fresh air and fun… lots of lovely fun.'
Sources previously claimed to MailOnline that despite their efforts, the couple are like 'passing ships' and friends fear their relationship is hanging on by a thread.
A source said: 'Danny and Georgia have been trying to navigate a very difficult time in their marriage and for the best part they have been taking each day as it comes.
'They may be living under the same roof, but they barely see each other and right now are like passing ships.
'Danny is preparing for his summer gigs with McFly, and Georgia has been attending influencer events and collaborating with brands, all while looking after son, Cooper, who regularly features on her Instagram profile.
'But when they're not working, Danny is out on his motorbike or exercising in the gym, and Georgia is either on her own or spending time with family and girlfriends.
'They haven't actually been publicly seen together for six weeks and behind the scenes, their relationship is anything but normal.'
But now the singer is also making his TV return and will join the second series of You Bet!, ITV's rebooted challenge show, hosted by Stephen Mulhern.
Danny will appear alongside former I'm A Celeb campmate Oti Mabuse and Olympian Greg Rutherford, and has already filmed some segments at London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
In behind-the-scenes clips shared on his Instagram last weekend, Danny looked upbeat as he returned to work, grinning alongside his co-stars and cheering on contestants tackling extreme rides.
