2018 has certainly been the year for unexpected romances, but Love Island fans were left in shock earlier this week when it was reported that 2018 star Eyal Booker was 'dating' the one and only Rita Ora.

According to reports, Eyal apparently struck up a friendship with Vas J Morgan when they were on Celebs Go Dating together earlier this year, who just so happens to be close pals with Rita - even FaceTiming her for advice on the show before embarking on his dates.

The Sun then reported that the pair were caught 'snogging' during a night out and were spotted leaving Notting Hill Arts Club together after Rita's show. A source told the publication, "Rita and Vas are very close friends. He trusts Eyal and has got to know him on a personal level, and knew he and Rita would get along.

"Vas, Eyal and Rita's sister Elena were the only people watching her from the side of the stage at the gig, proving he is already part of her inner circle."
