They got together with the cameras on them just last month, as contestants on Celebrity Big Brother.
But Marnie Simpson is adamant that she and TOWIE star Lewis Bloor will be keeping their relationship away from the spotlight now that the show's over.
Despite them *very* publicly getting together during CBB (and the inevitable accusations of a showmance), Marnie revealed she's actually turned down interview offers in a bid to squash those claims.
"We have been offered all kinds of magazine and TV interviews, but we are keeping it private for the time being because we don't want to put a strain on our relationship," the Geordie Shore star told the Daily Star Sunday.
"There was so much talk of us being a 'showmance', but the funny thing is neither of us are the type of people to court the media for money or fame."
Marnie, who took fourth place on Celebrity Big Brother last month, also revealed that she and Lewis have now met each other's families ("everyone got on great", BTW).
What to Read Next
Her rep previously quashed speculation that she and Lewis went as far as to plan their showmance prior to entering the house, stressing they'd only met once before they were under the same agent.
And Lewis, who was the fifth person to be evicted from CBB this season, also insisted he isn't one for showmance.
Speaking to press including Digital Spy after his eviction, he said that he's never had a showmance during his stint on TOWIE.
And don't expect the pair to be starring in their own reality show, as Lewis has already said he's not interested in any spin-off shows with Marnie.
