Zack then began to explain how much his best friend Martin would love the party, as he emotionally continued: "I just can't get used to it Chels, it's still so raw."

Chelsea then told Zack how Martin would want him to have fun, as they both raised a glass. As Zack walked away, Chelsea could be seen watching him as he walked off, and now fans are convinced the two are going to get together.

Now, fans think a romance could be on the cards for the two, but they're not happy about it. Taking to X, formerly known as , one fan questioned: "chelsea & zack…?"

"Chelsea don’t even be looking all wistful for him please," wrote a second, while a third fan said: "if they put Chelsea with Zack I swear to god.... ."
