Two of the finalists have been spending some quality time together!

Could Lucie Jones and Rikki Loney be this year's Diana Vickers and Eoghan Quigg?! It's early days for the X Factor so far, but it looks like they've already become closer than any of the other finalists.

After being snapped shopping together, they've raised suspicions. And you know what? We think they'd make an ADORABLE couple! Look at them...

The pair duck under an umbrella together as they head out for some retail therapy... we can't spot Rikki's other arm... is he giving her an arm-round-the-shoulder treatment?

They certainly make eachother laugh!

And while Lucie picks up Look Rikki is going for the Sun newspaper... think they'll go home and swap notes?

But what do you Sugarscapers think? Does this look like romance blossoming or do you think these two are nothing more than friends?

Comments please!
