Stephen, always quick with a quip, tried to laugh it off — “I was just helping her rehearse!” — while Josie cheekily told reporters, “I love Stephen Mulhern… but I don’t think the feeling’s mutual!” Fans, however, aren’t convinced.
💬 “Their chemistry is off the charts,” one viewer posted. Another added, “You can’t fake that kind of energy!”
Rumors intensified after the pair were seen leaving an ITV event together, laughing and looking undeniably close. Insiders say they’ve “always had a soft spot for each other,” but are keeping things under wraps… for now.
Whether it’s just friendship or something more, fans are hooked — and waiting for a plot twist that might just make it ITV’s most surprising love story yet.
👀 Stay tuned — this might be the backstage romance we never saw coming.
