But the chemistry between him and Liv is genuine and they are really into each other.' The insider cryptically added: 'Watch this space.' MailOnline have contacted Olivia's representatives for comment. Olivia's romance news comes shortly after she was spotted locking lips with another Too Hot To Handle favourite and fellow Celebs Go Dating star Louis Russell during filming in Ibiza. The Love Island beauty and the hunk were just days into shooting the new series of the Channel 4 dating show last month - and it seemed sparks were already flying. The pair already had fans speculating about their relationship status after a flirty exchange on social media before heading out to the sun-soaked Spanish island. In photos obtained by The Sun, Olivia and Louis could be seen sharing a very steamy kiss during a lively pool party as they packed on the PDA. A show insider told the publication: 'It usually takes a few weeks for things to spice up but not with these two. 'Within 48 hours of arriving in Ibiza the sexual spark between them was obvious. 'They clearly couldn't resist each other,' they added. MailOnline contacted reps for Olivia and Louis for comment at the time. Olivia and Louis were said to have 'grown close' during filming of the E4 show, reportedly breaking show rules by being 'all over each other' in Ibiza. MailOnline understands the pair had become each other's love interests despite the premise of the series being for celebrities to date contestants who aren't famous. According to a TV source, Olivia, who starred on Love Island in 2023 before returning for the All Stars series earlier this year, has fallen for Louis, known for his appearances on Netflix's Too Hot to Handle. Olivia's last high profile romance was with Marcel Somerville, whom she split from in February just days after leaving the Love Island: All Stars villa. The pair, who were axed from the South Africa villa in a shock double dumping in January, have gone their separate ways and have decided to just stay friends after failing to find a romantic connection. A source confirmed to MailOnline: 'Liv and Marcel have made the decision to part ways. 'They've chosen to go in separate directions, but there's no hard feelings. 'While they do share some fond memories together from their short stint on Love Island, they've built a great bond but have decided they're better off as friends and are both looking forward to the next chapters in their lives.' Olivia, 29, and Marcel, 39, were votes the least compatible couple by viewers, after landing in the bottom with Ronnie Vint and Elma Pazar, and Nas Majeed and Catherine Agbaje earlier in the series.
