Maura Higgins and Joey Essex set tongues wagging as they were spotted sharing a steamy smooch and leaving together in a taxi after the Pride of Britain Awards on Monday.
The Irish Love Island star, 31 looked very cosy with the former TOWIE star, 32, as they were snapped hugging and giggling together before locking lips at the star-studded London event.
Romance rumours have since been sparked as the reality TV pair were also pictured hopping into a taxi together alongside other pals as the night came to an end.
