Can it be true? Has the unthinkable actually happened? Have two people found (whisper it) L-O-V-E in the Geordie Shore house?

It might be a bit soon for Kyle Christie and Holly Hagan to be using the 'L' word, but they haven't been shy about flaunting their flirtation in public.

The pair were spotted snogging in Chester this weekend, as Kyle provided a bit of moral support at Holly's book signing. They've made many a guest appearance on each other's Instagram feeds, too - and let's not forget that time they were seen checking out the bling on offer at a jewellers at Gateshead's Metro Centre.

We can practically hear the wedding bells from here.

[related]But after a couple of disaster Geordie Shore romances - *cough* Scott *cough* James *cough* - Holly is determined not to rush in to anything.

"Kyle and I are taking things slowly. He's amazing and different from boys I've dated before," she told Closer.

"He's not a lad and he's very respectful but I do worry the pressures of being on the show could tear us apart.

"It's happened to so many other reality show romances. We call it the Geordie Shore curse."

For now, though, the pair are going strong - and currently sunning themselves on the beach in Tenerife. Lucky beggars.

Season 9 of Geordie Shore starts Tuesday 28th October at 10pm, only on MTV. Get a sneak peek at the first episode below!
