As they enjoyed their date night and had drinks at the club, Chantelle draped Ricci’s jacket over her shoulders as she beamed for photos.
A source said The sun the pair are officially in a ‘serious’ relationship and have fallen ‘head over heels’ for each other.
An insider said: ‘Chantelle and Ricci are officially dating and things got very serious very quickly – everyone was shocked but they seem so happy together. They’re booking holidays and seem head over heels.’
The pair were spotted partying with Love Island couple Anton Danyluk and Georgia Harrison in their first public appearance since leaving the villa.
Ricci joined Geordie Shore in 2011 and soon became engaged to former co-star Vicky. The couple eventually split in 2013.
The tumultuous couple spent hours drunkenly arguing on screen and despite almost a decade having passed, Ricci revealed last year that they are still ‘absolutely not’ on good terms.
Asked if they are speaking, he told The Sun: ‘No, certainly not. I wish her all the best. I think we’ve both matured a lot.”
Ricci returned for the show’s reunion last year without Vicky and said the experience was much more enjoyable because he was no longer “in a volatile relationship, kicking ass 24/7.”

Saying, “Things were pretty tough with Vicky back in the day.”
The exes then appeared together in 2014’s Ex on the Beach, which forced them to rekindle their failed relationship and start even more blazing feuds.
Ricci told the publication: “It was quite brutal. In a way, strangely enough, it has given us both great careers.”
Vicky is now happily engaged to former TOWIE star Ercan Ramadan.
Meanwhile, mum-of-one Chantelle first starred in Geordie Shore in 2016 but left after just one series claiming there was more to life than reality TV.
In 2019, she had a son Ricardo, who she shares with ex-boyfriend Lee Blackburn, who was sentenced to seven years in prison in 2012 over a £1million cocaine conspiracy.
Ricci was previously engaged to Vicky Pattison after joining the MTV show in 2011, before eventually splitting in 2013 (pictured together in 2012)
