Steverly: The greatest love story never told (until now)

Did you ever hear the one about the millionaire who lives with his mum and the Playboy model?

This is a tender story of furtive looks over the chickpeas and back-touching that would make Jane Austen not blush in the slightest. For 19 days Steven and Kimberly (but mostly Steven) have engaged in a steamy mating ritual of sitting quite close to one another. Here are the highlights:

"Have you got a boyfriend?"



Steven wasted no time in his quest for Kimberly's affection, asking about her "commitments" or lack of them on her frist night in the House. He's one smooth operator is Steve and he went on to express his disappointment at not sharing a bed with her.

But Kimberly was perfecting her favoured look of aloof indiference, so Steven thought he would tell her exactly how he likes her. He forgot unconditionally.

Just in case Kim hadn't quite understood him, Steven moved on to talking about the future and partners, while wearing a very silly hat. And later that same night things really hotted up to just about tepid when Steven leaned in a for what didn't really look like their first kiss.

But there was trouble in purgatory when Kim hopped in the shower with Winston. It was perhaps less romantic than people thought because Kim was covered in manure (yes, literally).

Thankfully, things looked to be back on track soon after when Steven told Pauline that Kimberly had said that he was marriage material.

When Steven was saved from eviction last Friday, Kimberly's relief was very slowly approaching palpable. She even rested her head on his shoulders for a good seven seconds.

Since then the couple have repeatedly sat on the same bean bag together and as they are both safe from the public vote this week, who knows where this relationship can go.

Maybe a sun lounger?
