Despite many thinking the blossoming romance between former Made In Chelsea star Ashley James and American singer Ginuwine is all for show, the pair take things to the next level on tonight's episode of Celebrity Big Brother.
WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS!
In teaser footage released by the Channel 5 show, the pair can be seen cuddling in bed together, before they disappear under the covers and enjoy their first proper kiss.
Ginuwine and Ashley certainly seemed close in the house...
As Ashley leaves the girls' bedroom to cosy up to Ginuwine, Wayne Sleep shouts, “Welcome to the boys’ wing." Ashley then responds, “Thank you”.
Watch the moment below:
Despite the pair taking things slowly in the last few days, many viewers of the show have called them out for 'playing a game' and even branded their relationship a 'showmance'.
Viewers have taken to Twitter to express their views throughout the series:
If their romance is for real, it certainly wouldn't be the first Celebrity Big Brother romance to happen. Who can forget the likes of Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell from 2016, and Chantelle and Preston from way back in 2006!

In last night's Celebrity Big Brother housemates were told they would have a number of driving challenges, "The team with the most points at the end of the task will win the power of the house. But that is not all." Big Brother told them.
"Housemates as you are aware Ann, Rachel, Daniel, Andrew and John are up for eviction this week, but the winners of the task will get the power to save one of these housemates and replace them with any other housemate of their choice."
Therefore, housemates will have to work as pairs to find out who are the best drivers. Then the winning pair will be able to save one of the housemates, in place of another.
Before the twist was revealed, five housemates were nominated including, comedian Daniel O'Reilly, former MP Ann Widdecombe, former England and Liverpool footballer John Barnes, journalist Rachel Johnson and star of The Apprentice Andrew Brady.
With the new twist, this could all be about to change!
As the current series is proving amazing entertainment each night, we were delighted to hear the news that the show is set to grace our TV screens for another TWO WEEKS!
Bosses announced yesterday that this year's final will take place on Friday 2nd February, leaving fans extremely pleased.
Celebrity Big Brother continues every night at 9pm on Channel 5.
