Olivia Hawkins has been spotted locking lips with her Celebs Go Dating co-star Louis Russell during filming in Ibiza.
The Love Island beauty, 29, and Too H๏τ To Handle star Louis are just days into shooting the new series of the Channel 4 dating show – and it seems sparks are 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.
Now, in pH๏τos 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 Sєxual spark between them was obvious.’

‘They clearly couldn’t resist each other,’ they added.
MailOnline has contacted reps for Olivia and Louis for comment.
Olivia and Louis are 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 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, 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 H๏τ to Handle.
They aren’t the first couple to break the show’s rules following Lottie Moss and Adam Collard, who briefly dated after being cast on the same season in 2023.
Joey EsSєx 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 told MailOnline: ‘Olivia and Russell are all over each other.

After starring on Too H๏τ to Handle, the Netflix show which challenges contestants who are afraid to commit to in relationships change their ways, on two separate occasions, Louis claims he’s finally ready for a ‘real partner’
‘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 H๏τ 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.’
Christine McGuinness was set to join the cast of the dating series, but she suddenly quit just days into filming in Ibiza after deciding it was ‘too soon’ after her divorce from ex-husband Paddy.
Joining Olivia on the show will be former S Club 7 singer Jon Lee, and Kerry Katona, who previously featured on the show in 2019.

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.’
