It was reported on Friday that the axed Love Island contestant had reignited his romance with his former partner in the villa Anna Vakili.

And now it has been claimed that Sherif Lanre is not 'putting all his eggs in one basket' as he has apparently asked co-star Yewande Biala on a date.

The rugby player, 20, and scientist, 23, are said to have fallen out after Love Island over a video he appeared in with Dom Lever.

Yet Sherif was keen to clear the air and attended the same Pantene event as Yewande with the two making up, agreeing to go on a date.

A source told the MailOnline: 'They actually talked for a while and got on really well together. 

'He then suggested they should stay in touch and go for drinks and catch up properly. She said "Like a date?" And he said, "Yeah, let's see how things go."

'Poor Sherif was single for so long and now he's back talking to Anna and Yewande.'

MailOnline has contacted Sherif and Yewande's representative for comment.   

After the night out, Sherif even put up a cosy picture of himself with Yewande to his Instagram with the rugby player's 514K followers demanding to know if they were dating.

One person said: 'Wait someone please tell they are dating ❤️❤️.'

A different fan put: 'They would make the cutest couple.' 

Another follower commented: 'Yous two would make a cute couple.'

While a different account added: 'Someone please tell me there dating omg.' 

It comes after Anna and Sherif reportedly rekindled their romance after meeting for the first time since leaving the Love Island villa.

Their blossoming romance was brought to an abrupt end when Sherif was kicked off the show due to an incident with Molly-Mae Hague.

However it appears that the former couple may be back on track as they apparently 'flirted and swapped numbers' during a recent night out together.  

A source told OK! magazine: 'Sherif and Anna met up for the first time since leaving the villa. The chemistry was still there and it was obvious that they were still attracted to each other.

'Sherif and Anna flirted all night and he was even seen with his arms around her at one point.' 

The insider revealed that the couple gave each other their mobile numbers and believes they are well on their way to reconnecting. 

Meanwhile, a source told the Sun: 'Anna made an impression on Sherif the moment he first set eyes on her, since being booted from the villa Sherif has gone on a string of dates but he's always had Anna on his mind.

'He even dated a Anna lookalike, he's messaged her a few times since being out the villa.'

MailOnline contacted Anna and Sherif's reps for further comment at the time. 

During their reunion, Sherif shared a snap of the pair on his Instagram with the captions hashtag break the internet and hashtag reunited. 

Following Sherif's sudden exit from the villa, Anna found romance with Jordan Hames days before the couple were ripped apart when she was sent to Casa Amor.

Their new connection was tested when she found an instant attraction with Ovie Soko, who she eventually decided to bring back to the main villa.

However Anna and Jordan couldn't hide their feelings once she returned and she ended up rekindling her spark with the Manchester native.

But just days after Jordan asked Anna to make things official, he left her devastated by revealing to their fellow Islanders that he had the hots for India Reynolds. 

After learning of Jordan's wandering eye Anna immediately called it a day.

Since leaving the villa Anna was pictured strolling hand-in-hand through Notting Hill with a mystery man in August.

However she has still yet to confirm her relationship status with the unknown companion.
