Love Island couple Gemma Owen and Luca Bish appear to have put the "showmance" claims behind them as they stepped out at the Pride of Britian Awards.
In recent weeks, the couple have been surrounded by allegations suggesting that they were putting on a front for the cameras but this doesn't seem to be the case.
Celebrating the nation's heroes, Gemma, 19, and Luca, 23, stepped out at the Daily Mirror's Pride of Britain Awards at London's Grosvenor House.
The two stars put on a loved-up display as they struck up a pose on the red carpet, just days after sources close to the couple told us they were more in love than ever before.
Gemma opted to wear a bespoke PrettyLittleThing dress which complimented her figure, featuring a daring split at the back.
The star swept her brunette tresses back into a neat bun, showcasing her defined cheekbones while her plump pout was accentuated by a touch of lip gloss.
Meanwhile, former fishmonger Luca looked dapper in a three-piece suit as he flashed a smile for the onlooking photographers.
Last week, fellow Islander Paige Thorne suggested that only two couples who left the show this year are actually in a relationship, insinuating that the others are simply staging their romance for work purposes.
A source close to Gemma and Luca revealed that this couldn't be further from the truth for the dressage rider and semi-pro footballer.
They told us: " Luca and Gemma are closer than ever, they don't feel the need to ham it up on social media every day.
"Both have lots going on but they're staying together most nights and when they do have to be apart, they are constantly on the phone with each other."
Our source went on to say: "There is lots of talk and rumours about a showmance amongst this year's contestants but it certainly isn't Luca and Gemma that everyone is talking about."
The Pride of Britain awards returned for yet another year to celebrate the nation's everyday heroes and their bravery.
The annual awards, which have taken place since 1999 in association with The Prince's Trust, are considered one of the most heartwarming and emotional nights of the year.
Every year, several well-known faces from celebrities, politicians and sports icons come together to celebrate the bravery and selflessness of the winners.
Carol Vorderman and Ashley Banjo returned to co-host the star-studded, with Carol saying: "We try to reflect what's happened in Britain in the last year, so you'll recognise people who have been in the news, but we aim to balance that with stories nobody has heard before. It's a magical combination."
