Celebrity Big Brother could have its first showmance of the series as Rodrigo Alves and Ben Jardine got flirty in the bedroom doorway.

Over the years, housemates and their blossoming relationships have always been the talk of the town from Nikki Grahame and Pete Bennett and Josie Gibson and John James to, of course, Steph Davis and Jeremy McConnell.

While Sarah Harding and Chad Johnson took on last year’s showmance role, Courtney Act and Andrew Brady melted hearts with their relationship earlier this year.

And many fans felt Ben and Rodrigo were making a play for the showmance title early on in this summer series as they felt “playful” at night.

The Human Ken Doll was stopped by the reality star who wanted to “play” as he attempted to go to bed.

Ben said: “No, I don’t want you to go to bed. I want to play,” before Rodrigo nuzzled his neck and kissed him.

The Married At First Sight star continued: “Go get your nightgown on and then we can have a little play.”

“I don’t know yet, let’s have a little think,” he added when Rodrigo asked what they were going to “play”.

Twitter was immediately awash with excitement for the “cute” moment while others questioned whether the chemistry was actually real.

Elsewhere, the Diary Room saw its fair share of tears as Dan Osborne became very emotional over missing his kids while Gabby Allen broke down following another run-in with Natalie Nunn .

Natalie, who has been causing drama for the past few days, kicked off at Gabby for not including her in her morning workout, a day after railing at her for “fading into the background”.

It was also revealed to the housemates that the Bad Girls star and presenter Hardeep Singh will be facing the first eviction on Friday evening.

Celebrity Big Brother continues Thursday at 9pm on Channel 5.
