Shortly after she and MAFS UK co-star Orson Nurse appeared to go public with their romance, Hannah Norburn has responded to rumours of a relationship with another of the show's grooms.
OG fans of the hit reality experiment will recall that one of the most scandalous moments from the series saw Hannah and Orson locking lips behind their respective partners' backs.

At the time, Channel 4 newbie Hannah was paired up with on-screen husband Stephen, though it didn't take long for the pair to realise they weren't quite compatible.
Fan-favourite Orson, meanwhile, was matched with his bride Richelle, though they repeatedly butted heads after she became rattled by his 'sensitivity' when discussing ex-relationships.
Viewers were hardly surprised, therefore, when a cheating scandal between Hannah and Orson came to light, with both sets of couples subsequently leaving the experiment for good.
And in the weeks that followed, several loved-up Instagram snaps and gushy captions implied that the pair had actually made a go of things in the outside world.

In fact, Hannah revealed that she and Orson were invited back to the show as a new couple, but they instead decided to let their romance blossom away from the cameras.
Amidst all this, there were also rumours Hannah had embarked on a new romance with yet another groom, Ryan Livesey.
I know, we can barely keep up ourselves...

Anyway, Ryan was previously paired up with Sionainn Carmichael, though they left the series pretty early on after realising there was no real spark.
And last month, the Daily Mail reported that Hannah and Ryan turned up to the MAFS reunion episode hand in hand, with a source saying 'the entire cast was left open-mouthed' at the sight.
The speculation didn't last long, however, after Hannah set the record straight via her Instagram story on Friday (8 November).
Asked about the status of their romance, she confessed: "Me and Ryan built a really lovely friendship when we both got out of the experiment, and that is all it has ever been.

"We have never dated and we have never been in a relationship," she clarified. "If anybody actually took a minute to ask us, we would have both happily confirmed that, but no!
"Instead, it was playground whispers, rumours and a public ambush based off of hearsay YET again."
