Marital feuds
Both Hannah and Ryan were unlucky-in-love on the dating show, with their relationships with Stephen and Sionainn collapsing on screen.
However, fans were shocked when it was revealed that Hannah and Ryan had been flirting off-camera and that they may have even shared a kiss.
Hannah had previously shocked fans when she kissed another bachelor named Orson.
Stephen later confessed that he had his eye on Ryan’s partner Sionainn, which added another layer to the already confusing love quadrangle.
Bombshell coupling
After they left the show, rumours began to fly which suggested that Ryan and Hannah were still together.
They later added fuel to the fire when they showed up to the reunion as a couple.
A TV source told the Daily Mail: “The entire cast was left open mouthed when Hannah walked into the reunion hand in hand with Ryan.
“She had made a big point about her friendliness being taken the wrong way and how the female members of the group had misjudged her intentions.
“But after kissing Orson in secret and growing close to Ryan off camera, it seems some of the suspicions from her co-stars were accurate.”
Relationship revelation
Despite their bombshell appearance as a couple at the MAFS reunion, Hannah revealed on Instagram that they are just friends.
She said: “Me & Ryan built a really lovely friendship when we both got out of the experiment & that is all it has ever been!
“We have never dated and we have never been in a relationship.
If anybody actually took a minute to ask us we would have both happily confirmed that but no!
Instead it was playground whispers, rumours & a public ambush based off of hearsay YET again!
She continued: “All the other cast built friendships (boys and girls) & were chatting, meeting up, enjoying a little WhatsApp group that we were left out of and as always it was more than ok for everybody else to get friendly-but of course not for me!”

#Shoegate
Hannah also decided to clear up the infamous events of “#shoegate”, which reportedly involved the TV star giving Ryan a “foot massage”.
She took to Instagram to set the record straight.
Hannah posted: “#SHOEGATE. There is only one story here and it’s the truth.
“The truth is this – the entire cast were in a room together the morning after the commitment ceremony.
All of us.
Nobody’s apartment.
“I never stepped foot (no pun intended) in Ryan & Sionainn’s apartment the entire time I was on the experiment.”
Hannah continued by saying that she was confused about whether Ryan was wearing shoes or slippers.
She explained that she then asked him about the shoes and whether or not they had “fluff” inside them.
Hannah continued: “Ryan responded by pulling his foot out of said shoe and saying ‘here have a look’ I then proceeded to touch said shoe and noticed that in fact there was fluff in his shoe confirming they were in fact slippers.
“Me and Ryan politely smiled at each other as he popped his foot back into his slipper and we all went about our day.
“The end.”
