It came after Samie and Sam confirmed they were dating when they shared a steamy kiss.
They were also seen cosying up in their first photo together before they were spotted holding hands in a sweet PDA.
The Sun was first to report how I’m a Celeb winner Sam was moving on from his ex Zara McDermott, 28, after growing close to Samie.

On Saturday night, looking very comfortable in each other’s company, Sam and Samie posed for a photo, alongside Pete Wicks and Georgia Harrison at Liv Attwood's birthday party.
Giving their take on the party in their podcast which was recorded before the bash happened, Sam joked: "We are actually dating, but not each other."
Later, Pete said: "Now you've got a date for the night," which prompted Sam to clap back: "I don't have a f**king date for the night."
TOWIE star Pete then interjected: "Me," as Sam, clearly still on the back foot, said: "Right."
Pete, then pressing the issue, quizzed: "Who did you think I meant?" to which Sam said: "No one."
Pete, who had discussed how he organised Liv's event, then probed: "Why so defensive then? I was just talking about me."

HAPPY CHAPTER
The banter came after Sam revealed he went on his first date since his split with Zara.
He said: "Things are really nice at the moment, I feel like I'm happy."
It’s the first time Sam has been pictured with a romantic interest, since splitting from Zara in January this year.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun recently, Samie said: "I'm quite a relationship person, so a boyfriend would be nice eventually, no one wants to be alone.
"But I love being single at the same time, I love my girls... I love a bit of both. I feel like I am a relationship person, so naturally."
Just like Sam, the brunette bombshell, 25, admitted she was also in a good place when it comes to her dating life.
