Love Island star AJ Bunker and Married at First Sight UK star Ben Jardine have been getting a little cosy lately.
Ben has been helping AJ train for her upcoming celebrity boxing match which will take place at the Boxstar event on April 30 at London’s O2 Arena.
But as rumours circulate that the pair have been working out more than just inside the gym, the two TV stars put the whispers to bed.
AJ, 29, doesn’t know who she will be fighting yet, however, trainer Ben, 40, says it doesn’t matter as he’s been “putting her through her paces”.
He added: “I’ll be honest there’s a lot of rolling about and quite intense training and she’s doing really well, we’re putting some hustle behind the muscle.

“I’m working her hard, I get her up in the morning with pancakes and take her for a run.”
Talking about how the fitness relationship came about, AJ explained: “Ben and I met at an event and we just hit it off and got on so well. I feel like it just came up in a drunk conversation, but it’s like a beautiful united thing that happened.
“He’s had me bent in all kinds of positions, doing hot yoga, but yeah we’ve been in all kinds of positions.”

The pair revealed that had not yet done the deed but said they have a current bet on it, which means it could likely happen anytime soon.
AJ added: “He hasn’t sealed the deal yet but we have got a litter wager on.”
Ben continued: “All I’m saying is this girl was on an island, didn’t find love, I ended up at the end of an altar, I didn’t find love, but you never know, you could find it in a boxing ring.”
The pair have spent an exceeding amount of time together since they started training, including week-long stays at Ben’s home together.

AJ shared: “It’s nice we have that relationship that doesn’t just feel like a trainer but it does feel like there is something there. It feels very natural at the moment and I’m enjoying the time we’re spending together and it’s just lovely being so comfortable around somebody and it’s going really really good.
“There was a period where I stayed with him for a whole week. I just lost track of time and hadn’t realised where the time had gone. Without giving too much away, the guy has made me dinners and stuff. In the ring, he is a trainer and a sensei but outside the ring, he is just a sweetheart.”
