Well, fans of the couple are now convinced that they may have known each other from before.

The evidence?

This week Chris and Liv posed for a picture with an old footballer pal of Chris’s called George Ray.

He captioned the picture: “So good to catch up with my lifelongs, been way too long!”

“Miss you both #powerfulpeople ”

“Lifelongs”?

Well, yes. If you spool back through George’s Instagram timeline you will discover that he actually already knew Olivia!

In January 2016, he posted a picture of him, Olivia and a female pal on a night out in Manchester.

Further back in 2015, George posted a picture of Olivia in a barely there bikini on holiday.

One eagle eyed fan who noticed these pictures even posted on the picture: “So did @ChrisHughesOfficial already know @Oliviajade_Attwood before Love Island?”

Another added:  “Probably old news but apparently chris and olivia knew each other before love island????”

While a third said: “#busted @chrishughesofficial … ”

Since coming out of the villa, Chris and Olivia have had a bumpy relationship.

The pair fell out when she kissed a footballer ex and then recently had massive barney at a night club in Birmingham, during which Olivia was reportedly dragged out the venue by security.

But aside from all that, they are still love’s young dream. Yay!
