After it was reported that the unlikely pair are 'dating' after immediately hitting it off following a night out in Essex, Zara has now broken her silence on the rumours, and going by her reaction, it looks like they could definitely be true...
Appearing on Victoria Derbyshire's Instagram Story, the journalist asked, 'Is Zara McDermott going out with Olly Murs?', to which the Love Island star laughed at the camera and looked very shy.
She then responded with "No reply", when a friend asked, "Did he slide into your DMs?", before Victoria said, “From your reaction and your no comment, can we take that to mean you are?".
Despite Zara still keeping tight-lipped about the situation at this point, Geordie Shore's Holly Hagan asked, “Do you think he's got the X Factor?”, to which Zara gushed, “He thinks I've got the X Factor. He’s a lovely guy.”
Well, we think that pretty much confirms those rumours, doesn't it?! 😍
