Love Island: All Stars' Olivia Hawkins has 'grown close' to former Too Hot to Handle contestant Louis Russell during filming of Celebs Go Dating.
The pair have broken show rules by being 'all over each other' in Ibiza, where the cast, which includes Kerry Katona and Christine McGuinness are currently shooting the new season.
MailOnline understands the reality pair have 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, 29, 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.
They aren't the first couple to break the show's rules following Lottie Moss and Adam Collard who started dating after being cast on the same season in 2023.
Joey Essex also romanced The Hills' Stephanie Pratt after they met during filming and Made In Chelsea's Sophie Hermann hooked up with DJ Tom Zanetti.

A TV insider revealed: 'Olivia and Russell are all over each other.
'It's only been days since filming for Celebs Go Dating started in Ibiza but they're already so close.
'They are very much each other's types and the attraction was instant, it's just not ideal for producers.
'The show has become famous for celebrities hooking up instead of forming long-lasting relationships with the contestants, which is the whole point.'
After starring on Too Hot to Handle, the Netflix show which challenges contestants who are afraid to commit in relationships to change their ways, on two separate occasions, Louis claims he's finally ready for a 'real partner.'
He said of joining the dating show, which is overseen by relationship expert Paul C. Brunson and Anna Williamson: 'I'm really excited to join the agency... it feels like a fresh start for me in dating. I'm ready to move away from hookups and focus on finding a real partner.'
This year's singletons on Celebs Go Dating include Christine, who will be exploring romantic connections with men and women, former S Club 7 singer Jon Lee, and Kerry, who previously featured on the show in 2019.
Mother-of-three Christine, who hasn't publicly dated since her separation from TV presenter Paddy McGuinness, has signed up to the programme to help pay for the ex-couple's costly divorce.
MailOnline has contacted Celebs Go Dating and Olivia's spokesperson for comment.

Like Louis, Olivia has also struggled to find a partner despite two appearances on Love Island.
The influencer, who says she has never had a boyfriend, dated former Blazin' Squad star Marcel Somerville during her appearance on the All Stars series but their romances was short-lived.
She had a flirtatious connection with co-star Luca Bish but their attraction didn't lead to anything.
In an interview with MailOnline before her stint on Love Island: All Stars, Olivia said: 'Since the show, my dating has actually got worse.
'I haven't been on many dates, I have focused on myself, and I have always been an independent person, for a long time and throughout my 20s but it's definitely the right time, I'm ready to settle down now.
'I do find it hard to let people in, it's hard to trust people but I am starting to let my walls down a bit, and I feel ready to start letting people in.'
