Now, Ryan has revealed he slid into Coleen’s DMs on the photo-sharing app.
In a screenshot of their first exchange, Ryan first messaged Coleen in May and said: “Hey. Hope you are having a great weekend. Drink?”
Coleen simply replied with a love heart emoji.
But that didn’t stop Ryan from trying further, as he then asked whether she was watching Eurovision – which began a back and forth of messages.
