Pucker up! Ashley James' chemistry with Ginuwine continued to heat up as the pair shared their first steamy kiss on the lips, in scenes set to air on Friday

The pair wrapped their arms around each other, with Ashley holding a finger to her lips telling Ginuwine to be quiet as they tried to keep their romance clandestine.

The Pony hitmaker paid no attention, however, and grabbed Ashley's face with both hands and planted a smacker on her lips.

Their PDA-filled display didn't go unnoticed by the other housemates, with Rachel commenting: 'The showmance is really hotting up isn't it?'

Shane and Jess protested that Ashley's feelings were genuine, insisting: 'She does like him, she just was shy.'

Appearing unconvinced, Rachel said: 'Really...? This is good.'

Daniel (Dapper Laughs) added: 'It's definitely kicked up a gear today. She's gonna be riding that pony in no time!'

Blanching at his crude joke, Shane replied: 'At least we'll get some smooches,' as Daniel joked: 'I hope when they have their first kiss Ann walks past.'

Clearly concerned at how quickly Ashley and Ginuwine's romance was progressing, Rachel then asked if she would need to move beds that night to give them some privacy.

On Thursday, the pair were seen cuddling up on the sofa, joking about getting married and even sharing their first kiss - albeit on the cheek.

However, viewers soon accused Ashley of faking the romance as she went on to admit that she doesn't want to date anyone inside the house.

Speaking in the Diary Room, she confessed: 'I'm having the best time and the best experience. I think because I'm completely being myself.

'I'm enjoying flirting with [Ginuwine], but that could be friendship. I'm happy... I wouldn't get excited, I definitely don't want a house romance... Valentine's day is just around the corner.'

Bit of a hairy situation! Ashley later had her armpits shaved by Andrew and Shane in the bathtub as the night of revelry

Whilst Ashley may not have been sold on dating the father-of-nine, her fellow housemates seemed to be, with India Willoughby claiming: 'You can see it in their eyes that there's chemistry. I'm so happy for Ashley she's so patient... She's a good girl.'

Meanwhile, Daniel O'Reilly (Dapper Laughs) exclaimed 'they're going to kiss tonight', as Andrew Brady enthused: 'The guy has game.'

Jonny Mitchell was more sceptical, however, commenting 'A relationship ain't on the cards,' to which Daniel shot back, 'showmance!'

As part of a 1950s-themed task, where the men have to work in a factory and the women play the roles of housewives, Ashley and her co-stars also began discussing infidelity and how women would put a sign up for the milkman if their husband was out.

She shyly told Ginuwine, 'Just so you know, I don't cheat', as he cuddled up to her on the sofa, planting a kiss on her cheek, as he replied: 'Good, I'm glad, I've got more than enough for you!'
