But just days after they gushed over each other on Love Island's Aftersun, the pair seem to have already called it a day.
Last night, Ben was spotted putting on a cosy display with Towie star Dani Imbert, 27, at the St Moritz summer party.
They were seen whispering in each other's ear, holding hands and then proceeded to enjoy a string of kisses at Broadwick Soho.
A source said 'There was instant attraction from the moment they met - they spent two hours kissing at the party it was all very intimate.

"It's clearly very much over with Andrada as Dani seemed to be the only thing on his mind."
Days after their exit, the pair appeared on podcast Love Island: The Morning After.
Ben shared how he's had a "reality check" after fans branded him "vile".
He said: "We had Yasmin, Toni, Shakira - I had my run-ins with them. The thing is, it was all such silly things as well.
"Not using it as an excuse, but feelings and emotions are just so heightened. It's the littlest things that can trigger you."
Love Island's Ben admits he's had a 'reality check' after fans branded him 'vile'
Ben continued: "For me, the way I went about it, I should've went about it so much more differently. The way I spoke, the language and stuff.
"It's not until I watched it back that you realise - obviously with certain situations in life, you have arguments.
"But you never see it back. You're never in a position where you can watch it back and see how you actually were.
"I think me actually watching it back especially, gave me like a real reality check of, 'I don't like how I spoke'."
She added: "We're just taking it day by day and getting to know each other more and more."
Ben entered the ITV2 villa on Day 1, where he was initially coupled up with Shakira.
However, bombshell Toni arrived as the first big twist and "stole" the hunk away.
He would ultimately later recouple with Shakira - and also explored connections with Yasmin and Helena.
By Casa Amor, he and Shakira had recoupled again but had no romantic spark between them.
Upon meeting the new girls, Ben and Andrada soon hit off and began their connection.
They were coupled up in the main villa, before ultimately being dumped from the island after receiving the fewest public votes.

Chris Hughes suffers career blow as he's 'dropped from the BBC' ahead of major sporting coverage - after leaving ITV Racing following CBB stint
has reportedly been dropped from a huge sporting gig - this time on the BBC, following his Celebrity Big Brother stint and romance with JoJo Siwa. In a blow for Chris, 33, it's reported he has been axed from his presenting duties with BBC Sport. Since 2021, Chris had been a regular face of the BBC's Hundred cricket competition coverage, a format that appeals to younger viewers. With just days to go until this year's league kicks off, Chris has been snubbed from the hosting lineup. A BBC insider told The Sun: 'Chris has done a good job for four years, but we're going in a different direction. 'There will be more focus on the cricket this year, rather than promoting the Hundred as an entertainment show. 'Former England cricketers Alex Hartley and Isa Guha and will lead the presenting team, as they know the sport inside out. Rick Edwards from Radio Five Live will be used in the Chris Hughes role.' World Cup winners Isa Guha and Alex Hartley will anchor the coverage on TV, with Chris' role now being filled by BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast star Rick Edwards. Daily Mail has contacted reps for Chris, while the BBC declined to comment. It comes after the BBC told Chris in 2023 that his comment towards female cricketer Maitlan Brown during the BBC's coverage of The Hundred was 'not appropriate'. Chris was interviewing Southern Brave's Australian star during her side's innings against the Trent Rockets, in which he provided plenty of positivity about the women's game. However, he became sidetracked after Brown mentioned a recent team bonding session among the Brave stars. 'We watched Barbie the other night altogether and it was really good team bonding and the group is gelling really well together,' she said. 'That is the key to success I think in tournaments like this, how well and how quickly you can gel as a group.' Since 2021, Chris had been a regular face of the BBC's Hundred cricket competition coverage, a format that appeals to younger viewers (pictured hosting the racing on ITV) Cricket fans flocked to Twitter to blast the Love Island star for his awkward remark Hughes quipped in response: 'You're a little Barbie yourself innit, with your blue eyes.' Brown awkwardly laughed at the remark, before Hughes emulated Chris Gayle by saying: 'She's blushing now.' Cricket legend Gayle was criticised for his awful 'don't blush baby' remark during the Big Bash League in Australia back in 2016. The BBC have since confirmed that they have discussed the incident with Hughes. A spokesperson told Mail Sport: 'We have spoken to Chris and explained that his comment was not appropriate.' The news comes after it was reported earlier this year how Chris was leaving his role on ITV Racing in an apparent dispute over pay. Chris, who is a lifelong horse racing fan, had co-hosted coverage of the channels biggest events such as the Cheltenham Festival and Royal Ascot since 2019. The former Love Island hunk took part in the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother in April this year. Whilst locked in the spy house, he grew close to American singer and reality star JoJo, 22. After leaving the show, the pair later confirmed they had progressed from a platonic to a romantic relationship. Meanwhile, Chris was recently forced to hit back at trolls this weekend after they accused him of being a 'creep' and 'doing anything for fame' amid his romance with JoJo. Chris shared a slew of loved-up snaps with JoJo amid their long-distance relationship and penned in the caption: 'just everything - missing you.' Underneath one troll had commented saying: 'Does anybody else find this creepy.' Chris then responded to the woman named Pauline, saying: 'no Pauline, you're miserable, p**s off kindly.' She then responded: 'lol we see long it lasts.' He then continued in a second comment: 'yeah again, you don't need to speak, you don't follow me, respectfully do one thank you.' Chris had previously described JoJo as the 'love of his life' in a sweet interview, whilst also revealing the nickname JoJo has for his private parts in a shocking X-rated confession. The star told E! News last month: 'She calls my balls Jimmy and Timmy. So she must like Jimmy and Timmy,' adding that she loves 'the rhyming lingo.'

Harry Potter event loved by millions of film buffs & celebs like Jude Law AXED for good…leaving fans' lives ‘ruined'
HARRY Potter fans will be crying into their butter beers as an annual Kings Cross tradition has been permanently axed, The Sun can reveal. The 'back to Hogwarts' gathering took place every September 1 at the London train station, attracting thousands of Potterheads - many in full costume. 9 9 9 9 They'd wait with baited breath for the tongue-in-cheek announcement that the fictional Hogwarts Express would depart from platform 9 ¾ at 11am, as happens in JK Rowling's books. A sign would also appear on the departure boards signalling the train going to "Hogsmeade" the town near where Hogwarts is located. In 2018, Hollywood stars Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law even attended to promote Potter spin-off movie Fantastic Beasts 2. However, last year fans booed when the fun public address failed to take place - and now we can reveal it will not return next month. National Rail said the event had attracted far too many crowds and had posed issues for genuine travellers getting their trains. A spokesperson said the last full gathering in 2023 saw thousands of people turn up 'which made it challenging for us as station operator'. They have now confirmed to The Sun: 'It is the same for this year, in that we won't be hosting the event at the station.' Instead, organisers Wizarding World and Warner Bros Discovery are putting on an online alternative this September 1. Writing on Facebook, fans were hopeful last year was just a blip. They said at the time: 'It's so sad that this was cancelled… nice to have traditions as most things have been ruined these days.' Another added: 'It brings people together.' JK Rowling hails BBC host for refusing to say 'pregnant people' live on air And another: 'It's awful they took a small piece of fun away, life's too short." A third said: 'It was so nice that the station used to actually announce this, such fun. But I can see why they decided to end this - way too many people and too much of a disruption for a real train station.' The Potterverse is currently experiencing a boost in popularity with the upcoming Amazon-produced series, which began filming last month. The book series, written by Rowling, began with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, released in 1997, to huge commercial success. The first film, starring Daniel Radcliffe in the title role, came out in 2001. There are a total of seven books and eight films, ending in 2011. The franchise has since continued to grow exponentially, including the WB studio tour at Leavesden Studios, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter sections within Universal theme parks in Orlando, Hollywood, Japan and Beijing. More than 23 million passengers started or ended their journey at Kings Cross in 2022, according to Railway Data. A Warner Bros. Discovery spokesperson said: "Similar to last year, we can confirm that there will be no Back to Hogwarts event, announcement, or countdown at Kings Cross Station, and fans should not plan to go there on 1 st September. "We have plenty of fun in store for fans celebrating Back to Hogwarts however, both online and in person. "Plans include a special free screening of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, with a live Q&A with James and Oliver Phelps, special giveaways, competitions and more." 9 9 9 9 9

Love Island fans figure out when villa divide happened as they reveal exact moment the girls turned on each other
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans think they have figured out exactly when the villa divide came to fruition. Loyal ITV2 viewers took to social media as they revealed the exact moment the girls started to turn on each other. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 7 Viewers think they have cracked the code behind the issue of the girl group divide in the villa Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 7 Fans think the feud started all the way back in episode two of the 2025 series Credit: Shutterstock Editorial In recent scenes on the long-running dating show, we saw the departure of Helena Ford and Blu Chegini. Conor Phillips and Megan Forte-Clarke were also dumped from Love Island, just days before the grand finale. This may have signalled the end of the highly-publicised villa divide between the girls. Millions of viewers have watched the likes of Toni Laites and Shakira Khan clash with Helena and Meg Moore. Things got especially heated when Harry Cooksley's head was turned back to Shakira after he made his partnership with Helena 'exclusive'. But one viewer noticed that the divide came about a long time before the infamous Grafties ceremony. On fan forum platform Reddit, one informed fan noticed that the girls were splitting in the villa all the way back in episode two of the 2025 series. A throwback clip posted on the platform, in a thread titled 'Episode 2- the start of the divide'. In the video, Shakira made a new best friend in Toni after her bombshell arrival and the duo gossiped together by the firepit. This was as Alima Gagigo, Sophie Lee, Megan, Helena, and Meg were all sitting together in a separate part of the villa. Watch as girls go head-to-head in furious Love Island clash and vow NEVER to speak outside the villa Shakira told the Las Vegas cabana server that she felt like she was judged from the rest of the girls for chatting with so many of the boys so early on. She remarked: "I'm not joking, getting ready then the vibes felt so off. "So it's not enough to like pick up on and say something about because it's nothing that is being said, but it's the energy. Toni replied: "You know everyone is interested in you." Then Shakira stated: "I've been grafting, but I feel like the girls don't appreciate that. "But equally what's stopping them from doing the same thing? We've all been here [only] a day. She added: "Like, I think I have a right to get to know everybody." Meanwhile in the separate sofa area, Meg remarked: "The problem is, thinking of what Maya said last night, I think it is in Shakira's court. It's not enough to like pick up on and say something about because it's nothing that is being said, but it's the energy Skaira Khan "That's why she's been grafting her f****** a*** off today." To which Helena sarcastically responded: "I think she fancies everyone doesn't she?" She jokingly added: "She probably fancies the plants!" Captioning the preview, the fan wrote: "Is this when the 'bullying' started? LOVE ISLAND 2025 - ALL the dumped stars so far LOVE Island 2025 is in its penultimate week. Here are all the dumped Islanders so far ...

In the captions below, fans seemed to concur that this was the moment the villa divide started. One fan posted: "Yep the twist of Shakira being single and having to graft the boys to stay def started the divide." While a second added: "I'm no Shakira-Harry fan, but as a guy, it always came across to me that jealousy was a primary motivator in those in the villa that disliked her." 7 As the girls all sat together, Shakira and Toni chatted by the fire pit Credit: ITV2 7 Shakira said the vibe between all the girls was 'off' Credit: ITV2 7 Helena made a cutting remark about Shakira in the second episode Credit: ITV2 7 Megan Forte Clarke giggled away as Helena and Meg both gave their opinions Credit: ITV2 7 Toni seemed to pick up on the energy after Shakira made her remarks Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Love Island continues on ITV2 and is available to stream on ITVX.
