Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott sent their fans into a frenzy over the weekend, after they appeared to announce their engagement.
The couple, who first started dating in 2019, are currently on holidays in Barbados.
On Sunday evening, Sam posted a video that began with a sweet photo of him and Zara kissing.
He wrote: “SHE SAID YES!!! ❤️”
However, the post was not an engagement announcement, as the video then cut to a clip of Sam and Zara dancing to Drake and 21 Savage’s viral song Jimmy Cooks.
Sam added: “…to doing a TikTok dance with me.”
The Made In Chelsea star captioned the post: “Happiest day of my life….. When she finally does a tiktok with me 😂”
The couple’s Made In Chelsea co-star Harry Baron commented: “Got reeeeaaaal excited then..”
One fan wrote: “Dont play with our hearts like this Sam😭”
Another penned: “Nooooo… I’ve never been soo happy then sooo disappointed in the space of a couple of seconds .. I’m too invested in social media 🤣😔”
Zara and Sam have been plagued with rumours they are secretly engaged in recent months.
Addressing the constant speculation in a recent interview with OK! Magazine, Zara said: “We’re in such a good place. There’s no need to rush or change anything, because I wouldn’t be with Sam if I didn’t want to be with him forever.”
“And when [an engagement] happens, it happens. If that’s in five months or five years, I really don’t mind. I genuinely trust that timing is everything.”
Sam added: “All I need to know is that Zara is going to say yes.”
Zara went on to say: “Even if me and Sam broke up and I got with someone else, there’d be engagement rumours again within three minutes. This has been going on for us for years.”
“People want to see you fast-track your relationship but you’ve got to remember what’s right for you.”
