The 21-year-old Russian and the 25-year-old Swedish DJ - real name Jonas Altberg - awoke this morning to teasing from the other housemates as the lights came on to show them wrapped around each other in Altberg's bed.
Ivanova got up looking dazed and embarrassed and stumbled across the room to her own bed.
Glamour model Nicola T teased: "Oh, morning, Kat - that's where you were - the walk of shame, go on, Kat."
Cage fighter Alex Reid joked: "Jonas, your shorts are on back to front."
He then commented: "Jonas and Katia could be the next Katie and Peter", referring to his girlfriend, Katie Price, and her ex-husband, Peter Andre, who met on reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
The group had been drinking last night to celebrate Sisqo winning the Hunk Off task and Ivanova had been sitting on Altberg's lap.
But she tried to play down the apparent romance blossoming between the pair.
She confided in rapper Lady Sovereign: "I think that he's as bored as I am, that's why we're flirting.
"I don't want to lead anyone on. I'm just having fun.
"For me, it's just we're flirting because there's nothing else going on, but I don't know what it is for him. I'll ask him and say 'I'm sure you know it's just sort of fun'.
"I won't ask him now, I'll ask him when I'm sober.
"I don't want it to come across as I'm leading him on and he's thinking it's something serious."
Meanwhile, footballer turned actor Vinnie Jones had trouble sleeping again, waking in the early hours and getting up to do some housework - mopping the bathroom and doing the washing up.
