The influencer went on to explain that they shared their first kiss at the Sydney Mardi Gras festival.  

Duncan, 36, was there celebrating with his sister when he and Evelyn decided to meet up later that night.

"I thought, what better way to really impress Ev and some of her friends than with sparkles all over my face, a pink singlet and tight white shorts," Duncan joked.

Host Charlotte Crosby was keen to know if the couple felt an initial attraction towards each other when they first met on the experiment while partnered with other participants. 

Both Duncan and Evelyn agreed that while they acknowledged each other as attractive people, they were too busy focusing on their separate relationships at the time to think of anyone else.

"Obviously when he [Duncan] walked in, I thought 'Well he's alright,' but you're so engrossed in your own relationship you kind of have blinkers on," Evelyn said.  

"We see attractive people all the time so it takes more than just the aesthetic to really fall for someone. So it was really when we left and we hung out as friends that the connection really sparked between us."
