Maura and Curtis first got together following Curtis' "savage" dumping of half-girlfriend Amy Hart. Fans of the show were initially unsure of their romance, claiming it was "staged" and "fake".

However, they seemed to have turned around public opinion, as they are now one of the most loved-up couples from this year's series.

And one person who believes in their romance is Ireland's oldest matchmaker Willie Dale, who appeared on Friday's This Morning to reveal he thinks the pair will be engaged within six months.

Meeting Maura in her home town of Ireland, Willie revealed to Maura that he had a "lucky book". He went on to say anyone who had touched it has since rung him within months to tell them that they're getting married.

Excited by the prospect Maura eagerly placed her hand on the book, saying, "My boyfriend hasn’t actually told me he loves me yet so maybe if I place my hands on that lucky book."

Willie replied, "If you touch it with both hands and close your eyes for approximately eight seconds then you will be in love and married in six months."

Maura responded, "The book has spoken - no pressure Curtis!"
