Throughout the evening, their were seen wrapped up in a flirty exchange by the bar, ignoring other revellers to spend time together.
Shea, who was dumped from the villa this year after two weeks trying to find love, looked gripped with what Sacha had to say, later moving closer with her as they playfully flirted.
A source told The Sun Online: 'They were chatting for ages - about two hours! - and there was real chemistry between them.
"Everyone could see it was quickly turning flirty and Shea clearly fancied Sacha.'
However, he might be in for a fight for her affections after Sacha vowed to swear off men to focus on her relationship with God.
On Married At First Sight, self-proclaimed Daddy's Girl Sacha thought she might have found the one in dad-of-one groom Ross McCarthy, whom she was paired up with by relationship experts.
The pair even made it to the end of the series, looking solid as they even moved in together and he fought for the approval of her beloved dad.
However, just two weeks after cameras went off things quickly turned sour.
After the cameras stopped rolling, the pair entered a 'dark' period before Ross reportedly dumped Sacha by text after she kicked him out of the house over his 'anger issues'.
Since the show aired, Sacha has been on a self-love mission, turning to religion to find a sense of peace and clarity – even buying a purity ring in a vow to remain celibate before marriage.
MAFS UK star Sacha reveals she's got married AGAIN - but things aren't quite as they seem
In May this year, she revealed she had got a nose job, sharing pictures from her hospital bed.
Meanwhile Shea entered this year's villa as part of a double bombshell on day three of the ITV2 favourite.
Heading into the villa alongside Remell Mullings, Shea struggled to find romance with any of the girls, failing to couple up with any of them within 24 hours.
However, his new pals opted to save him from dumping so he could give things a proper go.
Later coupling up with Yasmin and then Helena, his time came to an end after two weeks when he still managed not to find someone, and Helena pursued a romance with newcomer Giorgio.

MAFS 2026: Here come the (very hot) brides and grooms! Daily Mail unveils full cast ahead of show's highly anticipated return
Married At First Sight is back for another series, and next year's cast is already shaping up to be the most scandalous yet. Filming for season 13 has been in full swing across Sydney, and now Daily Mail can exclusively reveal that the latest batch of brides is opinionated and outspoken and will not hold back when it comes to calling out bad behaviour. 'They are fearless and will hold everyone to account,' says MAFS expert John Aiken. 'That is going to create some very fiery dinner parties.' Some of the new brides also bring what Aiken describes as a heavy TikTok flavour to their dating approach, making for entertaining television. 'It's a reflection of how dating is happening in the real world right now - online, fast and sometimes a little unfiltered,' he explained. Aiken said producers have managed to secure personalities and backgrounds not seen before in the experiment. 'There's more cultural diversity, there's a sports presenter who loves cricket, and there are also personalities who break the mould of previous seasons,' he revealed. 'It's a very different mix to what we've had in the past.' 'They're authentic. Sometimes that makes them controversial, but it also makes them relatable. Whether people are cheering for them or against them, they're watching,' he added. Viewers should expect a perfect storm of glamour, big personalities and explosive potential, as tattooed bombshells, TikTok sensations and high-flying entrepreneurs collide. Insiders say the drama has already begun and the cast hasn't even filmed their first dinner party yet. 'There's a lot of ego this year - and some of them are treating it like the Olympics of drama,' one production source spilled. 'If you thought last season was bad… you haven't seen anything yet.' MEET THE BRIDES Alissa Fay Nurse and part-time influencer Alissa Fay already boasts a massive online following of over 270,000 TikTok fans, thanks to her glamorous lifestyle. Friends describe her as 'fiery but loveable' and 'someone who doesn't back down from a challenge'. She's fresh out of a high-profile relationship and insiders say she's hoping MAFS will be her chance at real love - but 'she's not the type to put up with nonsense for the sake of staying in the experiment'. Alissa recently called it quits with her longtime beau. She thrives in the spotlight and is tipped to be one of the most talked-about brides this season. Rebecca Zukowski Melbourne leasing manager Rebecca Zukowski is a striking blonde with a reputation for telling it exactly how it is. Colleagues say she's a powerhouse at work - driven, ambitious and laser-focused on her goals. But friends insist there's a softer side to her: 'She loves a night out with the girls, family dinners, and has a wicked sense of humour once she lets her guard down.' She's been single for a few years and is ready to settle down, but producers believe her no-nonsense approach could clash with a partner who can't keep up. Gia Fleur Already dubbed 'the wildest bride in MAFS history' by crew members, Gia Fleur is a heavily tattooed Melbourne-based beauty who lives unapologetically on her own terms. A self-confessed extrovert, she has a large circle of friends and a reputation for being the life of the party. Gia has had several cosmetic enhancements and isn't shy about discussing them. 'She's confident, outrageous and completely unpredictable,' a source revealed. 'If anyone's going to storm out of a dinner party or start a full-scale blow-up, it's Gia - but she also has a loyal, caring side for people she loves.' Julia Vogl A former journalist and celebrity interviewer turned confidence coach, Julia Vogl has rubbed shoulders with Hollywood royalty including Cher, Kate Winslet and Matthew McConaughey. Now based in Sydney, she helps women reclaim their self-worth through speaking events and online programs. Friends say she's magnetic, articulate and 'has a way of getting people to reveal their deepest secrets without even realising it'. Julia's also a style chameleon - she's rocked everything from pixie cuts to waist-length hair - and insiders believe she could be one of the show's breakout stars. Brook Crompton A sun-kissed glamour girl with a picture-perfect Instagram feed, part-time model Brook Crompton is a social butterfly with a fiercely loyal streak. 'Brook's the life of the party but has her friends' backs no matter what,' says a mate. When she's not fronting the catwalk Brook works as as talent acquisition specialist. She already boasts over 5,000 followers on Instagram. Rebecca 'Bec' Zacharia One of Adelaide's most recognisable socialites, Rebecca 'Bec' Zacharia has been a fixture in the city's society pages for more than a decade. A graduate of the elite Wilderness School, she hails from a prominent family - her father Lee was famously featured in Cleo's Most Eligible Bachelors list in the '80s. Bec carved out a successful career in London real estate before returning to Adelaide to be closer to family. She's been featured twice in 'Singles Ready to Mingle' lists and is known for throwing lavish dinner parties. 'Bec moves in the right circles, knows how to turn heads and has a razor-sharp wit,' says a friend. Melissa Akbay Melissa Akbay is a stylish free spirit who blends fashion, wellness and social media influence into her daily life. Friends say the Canberra-based bride is 'effortlessly cool' and known for her spontaneous travel adventures and carefully curated Instagram feed. She's fiercely loyal to her inner circle but has no patience for pretence - 'if you cross her, you'll know about it'. Ankita Karungalekar Sports presenter Ankita Karungalekar has worked with Cricket Australia, the Mumbai Indians and Mumbai City FC. She's a Miss India Australia runner-up and Miss World Australia state finalist, with a reputation for poise under pressure. Off camera, she's passionate about travel and is known to juggle her career between Australia and India. Friends say she has a competitive edge that could make her a formidable presence in the experiment. MEET THE GROOMS Chris Nield AFL player Chris Nield has the athletic drive and discipline that comes with years in elite sport. Friends describe him as 'a true Aussie bloke' - humble, hardworking and fiercely loyal to his mates. Off the field, sources say producers see him as the season's 'strong, dependable' groom - but whether that makes him a hero or a bore remains to be seen. Grayson McIvor Gold Coast-based recruitment agency owner Grayson McIvor is confident, stylish and effortlessly charming. Known for networking his way into every room worth being in, Grayson is just as comfortable in a boardroom as he is at a Sunday session. Friends say he has a taste for luxury and enjoys the finer things in life - but he's also a genuinely supportive friend. Insiders believe his polished exterior could hide a more complex emotional side. Daniel Hewitt A slick Melbourne real estate agent with a taste for designer suits and European cars, Daniel Hewitt is competitive and confident. Friends say he has a magnetic personality and 'can talk his way into - or out of - anything'. He's also close friends with well-known male entertainers, including Aussie stripper Will Parfitt, fuelling speculation that his buck's party will be one to remember. Scott McCristal Scott McCristal has a taste for the spotlight. He's built multiple ventures and amassed a loyal social media following. Friends say the businessman and former reality TV contestant is cheeky, flirty and likes to push boundaries - both socially and romantically. 'Scott's the kind of guy who'll either sweep his bride off her feet or drive her mad,' predicts one insider. Luke Fourniotis Luke Fourniotis is a down-to-earth, animal-loving farmer who has a soft spot for his family. The Melbourne-based groom spends most of his time outdoors, where he's built a loyal following on Instagram and TikTok for his funny and relatable shorts. His videos, often filmed among hay bales or in the paddocks, mix clever workout hacks with wholesome moments featuring his beloved dog Mika. Luke is especially close to his two sisters, who have been cheering him on in his search for love. Friends describe him as 'salt of the earth' and 'a genuine, wholesome bloke' who is kind, funny and refreshingly grounded - but admit he's had no luck when it comes to finding the right girl. Filip Gregov is focused on inspiring others to push past their limitations Filip Gregov A motivational speaker and content creator, Filip Gregov is focused on inspiring others to push past their limitations. Friends say he's 'deep, spiritual and always searching for meaning'. He's likely to approach the MAFS experiment like a personal growth challenge - but whether his bride shares that mindset remains to be seen. Micah Lomu co-founded the Surpass Your Limitz movement and is a mortgage broker by day Micah Lomu Known in Sydney fitness circles as 'Meekz', Micah Lomu co-founded the Surpass Your Limitz movement and is a mortgage broker by day. He's high-energy, competitive and thrives in social situations. Friends say he's 'the first one on the dance floor' and 'always the loudest laugh in the room'.

He's sharp, stylish and charismatic, with friends describing him as 'a big-picture thinker'. Sources say David could be the season's dark horse - 'he's not the loudest, but he's one of the smartest'.

The couple, who have split viewership with their romance were put up against Ty and Angel on tonight's episode for a shock final dumping led by Maya Jama. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Dejon spoke about his behaviour in the villa on Aftersun Credit: ITV 6 Maya grilled him on the choices he made and the public's perception of him Credit: ITV Former islanders delivering their brutal verdict by returning for a face-to-face vote, Dejon and Meg were sent packing a day before the final in a nailbitingly tight vote. Appearing shortly after on Aftersun, Dejon and Meg were grilled on their romance and time in the villa, with Maya asking them about missing out on the final. "We definitely expected it. We were really to go home, to be honest," Dejon told her. "I mentioned to the few boys that, like, I feel like my Love Island experience is finished because I came here and got what I wanted with Meg." During the final vote, the pair's connection was called into question, with some noting that they didn't think Dejon could remain faithful outside the villa as he had his "head turned" with newcomers frequently. However, others thought they had already passed the honeymoon period, with their squabbles being a sign of a settled relationship. "It was interesting the way that we got dumped, because I feel like the decisions were definitely… you kind of heard from both people's point of view," Dejon said. "Some people saw bad things and some people saw good things. So it definitely made me in this time of being like reflect on my actions over the villa." When Maya asked if he understood why some people may have thought he had a game plan, Dejon added: "Yeah, definitely. "Coming in, I just thought, I'm on Love Island. I'm gonna explore connections, I'm gonna be flirty, I'm gonna see what my strongest connection was," he explained.

"I definitely understand why people have their opinions regarding that, and even there's times that, honestly, she's stuck by me, and she tells me how she feels, and she stuck by me more than more than she should. More than I deserve a lot of times. "I'm very, very grateful for her, and now hopefully I can show what she deserves." While the sweet moment seemed to go down well with Meg, viewers still remained unconvinced, questioning Dejon's authenticity and claiming his comments were "practiced" and for clout. 6 The couple have left boyfriend and girlfriend, asserting they're set to last Credit: ITV 6 Dejon and Meg were one of the longest standing couples in the villa Credit: Eroteme "The PR tour has started already with Meg and Dejon on #aftersun 'ready to leave' sureeeeeee," wrote one.
