Sophie Piper has insisted she and Connor Durman are "not together at all".
The former ‘Love Island’ stars coupled up together on the show but were both eliminated separately, and they were later reunited on the spin-off series ‘Aftersun’ this week after the 21-year-old beauty was dumped from the island.
But she claims her romance with the 25-year-old hunk – who was dumped after a vote last month – is still at the "seeing each other stage", but they plan to take it slow.
Speaking on Capital XTRA, Sophie declared: "No we are not together at all! We are just seeing each other!
"It’s a situation-ship. I will get to know him, go on dates with him."
Despite taking things slow, the pair have already met each other’s family members, and Sophie’s sisters – former Saturday’s star Rochelle Humes and twin Lili – have given Connor their seal of approval.
Sophie added: "He’s met both of my sisters at ‘Aftersun’ the other day. I’ve met his sister. They think he’s lovely. They approve."
The 21-year-old medical PA recently admitted the pair are yet to go on their first date, but she hopes to see Connor very soon.
She said: "We’re yet to have a first date. Obviously we’ve both been so busy, but he’s coming back down to London tomorrow so hopefully I’ll see him again then."
But she was initially worried he wouldn’t respond to her on social media when she left the villa, as she realised she hadn’t asked for his number.
She said during her exit: "I can’t wait to see Connor when I get back.
"It would be nice to go on a few dates and see what happens.
"I am very nervous to speak to him. I keep thinking, ‘Will he even answer a DM?’ because I don’t have his number! I am so excited to speak to him and see him."
