Hot new couple? Geordie Shore star Holly Hagan, 25, has sparked rumours she's dating Motherwell FC footballer Jacob Blyth, 24, thanks to this cosy Instagram snap
Flaunting her cleavage in a very racy animal print red jumpsuit with an extremely plunging neckline, the Geordie star was all smiles as handsome Jacob wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
He added the caption: 'A huge Happy Birthday to this wonderful human being.'
The snap certainly raised eyebrows among Holly's fans, who immediately started to question if they were dating.

One wrote: 'Are these two together? Can someone please tell me!!!!!!'
Another said: 'Is this your new man?' while a third commented: 'Holly got an upgrade.'
According to reports, the answer is yes, with a source revealing the pair met through mutual friends on holiday and although it's 'early days', all is going well and they aren't rushing anything.
'Holly is smitten with Jacob and it’s obvious he feels the same about her. They make a gorgeous couple and their mates think they’re perfect for each other,' an insider told The Sun.
'Right now they’re just seeing how it’s going and spending time together.'

And it seems as if Holly is keeping her cards very close to her chest when it comes to Jacob, as even her Geordie Shore co-star Nathan Henry had to ask what was going on when he saw the Insta snap.
'Who the f**k is that?' he wrote in Holly's comments.
'Never you mind!' she replied.

Holly split from ex-boyfriend Kyle Christie in March after a three-year romance that played out on Geordie Shore screens.
At the time, she said: 'Kyle and I split a few weeks ago very amicably. Nobody had done anything wrong and it’s certainly not because of the tattoo we had a crazy 3 years together and it just came to a natural end.
'We grew so much and learned a lot about ourselves and personally I’ve came out of it stronger than I ever thought possible.

Reality couple no more: the Geordie co-stars, seen last year, amicably split. Holly later said things 'just came to a natural end' between them
'We made a lot of great memories and travelled the world together but it’s time for a new chapter for both of us.
'I’ll always love Kyle and his family for the past three years! Maybe I’ll actually be able to get this weight off now.
'But all jokes aside this was best for both of us and we knew that so there will never be any bad blood.'
She has also insisted the split had nothing to do with their appearance on MTV show Just Tattoo Of Us, filmed while they were still together.
No tatt drama: Holly has insisted the large tattoo of Kyle's face on her neck didn't cause their split. She was left with the inking after appearing on an MTV show which tasked Kyle with designing a tattoo for Holly. It was inked on her body without her seeing it first
That appearance famously saw Holly left with a huge tattoo of Kyle's face on her neck, after she agreed to the show's rules, letting him design a tattoo which was inked on her body without her seeing it first.
'The tattoo wasn't to do with the split, but the first thing I did think was that no one is going to marry me with this on my neck,' she said during a recent This Morning interview.
'Then I thought, Hang on a minute, if I was going to marry Kyle then it would be fine and that was the turning point, I thought we're not going to be together forever.'
She's since begun the process of removing the enormous design.
'The tattoo doesn't hurt compared to removal,' she said. 'The only way I can describe it is cooking bacon and the fat splashing you... imagine that all the time. It's really bad.'
Mail Online has contacted Holly and Jacob's reps for comment.
Ouch: Holly is now removing the tattoo of Kyle's face and says the removal process is far more painful than getting the actual inking in the first place
