Irish Love Island stars Megan Forte Clarke and Conor Phillips have been hit with claims that they knew each other before appearing on the ITV dating show.
It comes days after Dubliner Megan was dumped from the Spanish villa, just as they were getting to know one another.
A video emerged on TikTok showing the pair at the same nightclub, long before they appeared on the TV show.
In one picture, Megan can be seen posing with a friend, while another shows Conor supposedly at the same club, on the same night.
'Another photo of Megan and Conor at the same place btw proving they was together in real life' one person posted in the comments.
'They live in the same place,' added another.
However, a third was not convinced: 'Even if it was don't think them being seen in the same venue means much.'
Megan vowed to wait for Conor as she bid farewell to the Munster Rugby star.
'Will you wait for me?' he asked her.
'Yeah, I'll wait for you,' she responded.
Following her departure, Conor broke down in tears, telling fellow Islander Ben 'I look at her like a girlfriend on the outside.'
'I hand on heart do not think that anyone is going to come through that door that I fancy more than Megan.'
Before the show began, the 25-year-old said he was looking for a 'dominant woman.'
'Someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman.'
When asked if he would be hired or fired by presenter Maya Jama based on his flirting skills he said 'definitely hire.'
'I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby,' he said.
'It doesn't work, but it gets them laughing. It's an ice-breaker, not a serious question of course!'
The Limerick man said his biggest ick was someone who was 'too needy'.
'I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing.'
When asked to finish the statement 'You're a 10 but…', he confessed: 'I don't like to answer to anyone else.
'I like to do my own thing. It's something I'm working on for a relationship. Hopefully I've improved!'

Meanwhile, 24-year-old actress Megan, who lives in Brighton, England, said she was looking for a Timothée Chalamet look-alike.
'Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour. If they're not bad looking, that's always a plus,' she said.
'I love a boy that's a bit pasty, like Timothée Chalamet. I don't mind scrawny, or a bit of a 'dad bod'.
'I'm 5ft1 so any height really.'
