Emma and Shea were joined by fellow co-stars Remell, Blu, Rheo, and Caprice as they partied into the early hours.
The pair were then spotted leaving together as they stood outside the Mayfair venue, appearing to wait for their ride home.
An eyewitness recorded a clip of Emma and Shea chatting and laughing and enjoying each other's company.
The person wrote alongside the video: "Wouldn't have put them two together but here we are."
Emma looked glamourous in a white frilly halterneck mini dress and black strappy heels, while Shea opted for a blue polo shirt and black trousers.
After seeing the clip, Emma raced to comment on the post.
Although Emma did not reveal if there was any truth behind it, she did write: "THE SOUND IM CRYING," with a string of crying emoji faces.
While other fans were quick to share their opinion on the potential new romance.
One wrote: " Aesthetically pleasing couple to be fair."
A second posted: "You look good together," while a third echoed: "You guys suit."

But this fans disagreed and said: "Emma, don't go for Shea please."
Emma previously revealed who she would have picked to couple up with if they were in the villa when she arrived.
Emma was one of the Casa Amor bombshells, shocking her ex Harry Cooksley.
Viewers later saw Emma ultimately dumped from the villa in a triple elimination.
During an Instagram Q&A, one fan asked: "Is there anyone you wanted to couple up that you didn't?"
Emma cryptically replied: "My top pick left the villa before I got there."
Although she didn't the name the boy, eagle-eyed fans reckon they've figured it out.
One follower wrote: "She said she was most attracted to Shea in a podcast."
Another penned: "I think Shea."
A third chimed in: "Shea I'm sure, but I can't imagine their personalities working well together lol."
While a fourth speculated: "Maybe Shea?"
Shea was dumped from the villa on day 16, while Emma didn't arrive until week five.
He was dumped after Helena decided to recouple with Giorgio, leaving Shea single.

From Gaeltacht to TikTok - the rise of Irish language creators
IN THE noisy world of today's social media, the Irish language is finding itself a powerful new voice in an unexpected digital revival. Lifted from the confines of classrooms and small communities, Gaeilge now echoes across our phones. This is thanks to a new generation of digital storytellers embracing their native tongue through education, music, and humour. So, what's the craic? What are these Irish creators doing, who's watching them and why does it matter? This movement is reimagining how Irish is heard and who's tuning in. Bilingual creators are incorporating everyday conversation, slang, poetry, and sean-nós music into short TikTok videos, Instagram reels, and podcasts. This content is playful, modern, and unmistakably Irish. Its result? Younger audiences are listening. With humour, music, and casual speech as entry-points, this once endangered language is suddenly cool again. Tiktok's own newsroom highlighted the rise of the vibrant '#GaelTok' community, with over 39k posts using #Gaeilge earlier this year. By consequence, Irish is resurfacing beyond influencers, increasingly appearing in pub chatter, daily idioms, and even Instagram captions from non-fluent speakers. The Irish government's official website notes that Irish now regularly trades places with Spanish as the most learned language on Duolingo in Ireland, proving that the revival isn't just passively online, but interactive. But it's not all polished media. Some of the most powerful voices come from captured everyday moments - with teachers, families, and kids sharing nursery rhymes, Irish name lists, and lost phrases online. It was @rionasally's instagram videos displaying interactive children's songs in Irish that inspired this piece. Her simple, enchanting Gaeilge sound attracted a non-irish speaker to follow her page, thereby capturing the essence of this digital revival: connection. Recommendations Whether you're fluent or just flirting with your first cúpla focal, here are some popular creators right now; Ireland's biggest bilingual podcast, ' How To Gael' , uses conversational Irish to explore daily topics from pop culture to politics, aiming to 'bring more Irish into life, no matter your level.' Influencers such as Instagram's @Gaelige_bheo have seen a rise in attention due to their weekly series of 'cancelling english words to replace them with Gaeilge' in hopes of reintroducing the language in an approachable way, however brief. Tiktok creators such as Kate Brady ( @heyitskate98 ) have grown a following by displaying fashion videos and OOTDs (outfit of the day) in Irish, demonstrating the popularity of the fashion and wellness Gaeilge community. So, why does this matter? The surge in Irish-language content is about pride, visibility, and access. By reaching new audiences at home and abroad, Irish is no longer contained in textbooks or Gaeltacht regions. Through the catalyst of social media, Irish is being reclaimed, reimagined, and powerfully reinserted into conversation. From pop-up Gaeltacht events in cities like New York to viral clips explaining witty Irish phrases, the language does not only survive, it thrives. Irish is a deeply literal and poetic language, full of colourful proverbs and turns of phrase. The digital generations are pushing away from Gaeilge being a forgotten childhood chore towards it being a fun and expressive form of Irish identity - something to listen to, post about, and be proud of. The best part? This is only the beginning. Bígí ag faire - Watch this space. See More: Gaeltacht, Irish Language, Social Media, TitTok

Cristiano proposes to Georgina... with ring the size of a golf ball
Cristiano Ronaldo is officially set to tie the knot after proposing to his other half, Georgina Rodriguez, with a monstrosity of a ring. The couple have been dating since 2016 when they met at a Gucci store where Georgina worked as a sales assistant. The pair are raising six children together. In 2022, the pair tragically lost their baby boy as they were expecting twins with them saying at the time that 'only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness'. Ronaldo was reportedly looking at schools for his children in England. Pic: Instagram/georginagio Taking to social media on Monday, Georgina announced that her husband, arguably the most famous footballer in the world, had popped the question. Dropping a photo of a ring that is quite literally the size of a rock, Georgina wrote: 'Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.' Georgina and Cristiano have been dating since last year. Pic: Instagram/georginagio Georgina began her career as a professional dancer and model, and now also works as a social media influencer boasting almost 70 million Instagram followers. Cristiano recently signed a new contract with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia and is seemingly set to continue playing beyond the World Cup next year.

Forecaster who quit role on-air now working on two books - including one with 'personal' focus
FORMER MET ÉIREANN forecaster Joanna Donnelly says she intends to devote more time to writing, after she quit her role at the weather service in dramatic fashion by announcing her departure live on TV back in April. The meteorologist broke her silence on the reasons for her decision yesterday, writing a column for the Sunday Independent in which she detailed her disputes with Met Éireann management, including a row about rosters and a disagreement over outside engagements. Donnelly was one of the highest-profile forecasters during her time at RTÉ, presenting regular TV bulletins and penning several books about the weather, including a bestselling reference book for children. At the start if the year she joined the line-up of RTÉ's Dancing with the Stars, becoming the third celebrity to be eliminated in a February episode of the show. Speaking to The Journal today Donnelly said she was weighing up a number of options for the future and confirmed she's writing two more books – one of which will be of a more personal nature. As of yet, there are no plans for a publication date. 'When there's a book in there, it needs to come out,' Donnelly said. 'So writing is, is in itself, a worthy thing to do, whether it becomes a published book or not, that's that's a different thing.' Donnelly detailed in her column yesterday how she had received her first warning from management in 2023 over a social media post about a second-hand hairdryer that she loved. Speaking today she said she was 'absolutely heartbroken' to be disciplined over something 'so silly'. This was during a time of heightened focus on social media posts by staff and anyone associated with RTÉ, coming in the wake of the Ryan Tubridy controversy and revelations about the broadcaster's barter account. Advertisement Other on-air hosts also found themselves in hot water with management around that time – notably Doireann Garrihy, who had posted a sponsored ad with Flahavan's porridge , taken in an RTÉ studio, on her Instagram in 2022. Separately, Lottie Ryan was ordered to remove a social media ad for a car company , that was filmed on RTÉ's campus without permission. 'It was around the time RTÉ were dealing with the Ryan Tubridy fallout and there was a close inspection of all our social media … it went through my social media historic posts,' Donnelly said. Donnelly says was asked to delete anything that might be construed as a sponsorship, which she says she did. When she made the later post about the hairdryer she said she didn't think anything of it as she had brought it secondhand – but she said the issue led to her receiving a warning. Even now, without the restrictions of RTÉ and Met Éireann, Donnelly says she has no plans to become an influencer. She said she was primarily focused on looking after herself and her family, and focusing on her writing. RTÉ declined to comment on Donnelly's departure. The national broadcaster uses a tender process to choose its forecaster. Met Éireann, having won the tender, provides the service, but RTÉ has no involvement in the forecaster's operations. Met Éireann has not yet responded to queries from The Journal but in a statement to the Independent the forecaster said: 'Met Éireann, the Irish National Meteorological Service, is a line division of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. 'As an employer, the department has a duty to its employees not to disclose any information of a personal nature and accordingly, the department does not comment on any matters related to individual members of staff. 'As a Division of a Civil Service Department, all employees of Met Éireann are civil servants. 'Civil servants are obliged to work within certain standards, including under the Civil Service Code of Standards and Behaviour. The department, and Met Éireann also have a policy on media and social media. 'Civil servants have recourse to the Civil Service Grievance Procedure for complaints such as those mentioned.'
