They both went into the Celebrity Big Brother house single and ready to mingle.
And Ricci Guarnaccio and Lauren Goodger certainly haven't wasted any time in getting better aquainted if the antics during Day 2 are anything to go by.
Tuesday's episode sees the pair flirting outrageously as former Geordie Shore cast member Ricci tries his best chat-up lines on ex TOWIE star Lauren.
Love at first sight? Geordie Shore's Ricci Guarnaccio appeared smitten with Lauren Goodger on Day 2 in the Celebrity Big Brother house
The cheeky chappie makes a beeline for the brunette, putting his arm around her shoulders and lacing her fingers with his own.
The 27-year-old Essex girl giggles at Ricci's advances, before flashing a giant sparkling ring on her right index finger and joking, 'I'm married!'
Undeterred by her rebuff, Ricci - who was previously engaged to his MTV co-star Vicky Pattison - then grabs her left hand, saying, 'It's the other hand... Will you marry me?'
Playing hard to get: Lauren jokingly told Ricci she was already married
Northern charm: Ricci made a move on Lauren as the other housemates watched from afar
Their doe-eyed looks and tactile behaviour haven't gone unnoticed by the other housemates, leading White Dee to predict that romance will blossom in the house.
B*Witched singer Edele Lynch kicks off the discussion by musing, 'They do look like they like each other, but I don't know...'
'I don't know whether it'll be tonight. We've seen quite a bit of eye contact, havent we Claire [King]?', Benefits Street star Dee replies.
Glam girl: The former TOWIE star has been mostly absent from our screens since leaving the show in 2012
Boxing champ Audley Harrison chimes in: 'I said to them earlier, find a room!'
But it seems the course of true love never did run smooth since Ricci, 27, isn't the only man Lauren has been flirting with in the house.
Sparks look set to fly when Ricci - who is famed for his violent bust-ups with his ex - catches the object of his affections cosying up to Gogglebox's George Gilbey on the sofas.
Feeling good: Ricci is hoping to follow in the footsteps of his Geordie Shore pal Charlotte Crosby, who won CBB in September 2013
'I'm so glad you're here', she simpers as she engulfs George in a big hug.
Unlucky in love Lauren has been single since splitting from Jake McLean in December following a lengthy on/off relationship and engagement with Mark Wright.
She is set to spill the beans on her exes as well as her rumoured sex tape, which she denied making in the VT before her grand entrance on Monday night.
Lauren ranted: 'I'm sick to death of people talking about my weight and image. I have never made a sex tape, but I had an intimate moment with my ex-boyfriend.'
Also among those taking part in the Channel 5 show are Gladiators muscleman David McIntosh, Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan, Emmerdale's Claire King, transgender boxing promoter Kellie Maloney and Made In Chelsea's Stephanie Pratt.
