Carolina encouraged her fans to put questions to her: "Lazy Sunday morning over here," said the 34-year-old. "It's 11:30am and I'm still in bed. But yeh, I'm putting my first question box over here, ask away and I'm going to answer them at some point tonight." 

Responding to a question from a fan that read: "Which of the experts is the biggest [expletive]?", Carolina responded: "I'm going to say Mel," followed by a giggle. She then added: "Lol."

Carolina took to her Instagram Stories on Sunday

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday to upload a series of photos of him with Carolina, the 31-year-old tagged John's Instagram handle in the first photo. 

He also added a short clip from one of the episodes in which John can be seen telling the couple: "Trying to compensate, but failing miserably as a couple."

Daniel captioned the post: "What a ride! Let the next chapter begin."

The couple didn't have the smoothest journey on the E4 reality programme as Daniel and Carolina were both originally coupled with other people. The pair caused quite a stir when they embarked on an affair during the experiment.

While Daniel's relationship with Jessica Seracino fell apart before she departed from the programme, during this time he had been meeting with Carolina on and off camera. 

Meanwhile, Carolina was 'married' to Dion Giannarelli, who had no idea that the now-couple were conducting an affair behind his back. 

Despite the drama, the couple's relationship has gone from strength to strength with the pair frequently gushing over each other on social media. 

Carolina took to Instagram just last week to post a video montage filled with various clips of the couple sharing a few kisses and hugs. She captioned the video: "Luckiest girl feels," while the song You're Still The One by Eddie Tom played over the clip.
