And it looks like Alex, 24, and Olivia, 23, have high hopes of the show propelling their reality career to the next level.
The source continued: "It's a really exciting project for them and they hope ITVBe share the same vision.
"They were one of the show's most loved couples and they're still together.”
The insider added that many feel that the couple were the more deserving winners of last year’s show.
"Viewers definitely felt Olivia and Alex were robbed of the prize money by the winning couple Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey.
"Olivia and Alex were the real winners and have received the highest followings on social media.
"Now, bosses are hoping to turn that coverage into cash."
The couple who were engaged at New Year, after he proposed during a romantic trip to New York, have already let cameras follow their journey, with Olivia appearing on Say yes To The Dress.
The show’s host, designer David Emanuel told The Sun Online that Olivia was very different to how he expected.
He said: “I have to say, the picture I saw of her – I try and keep an open mind of people – she’s completely and utterly the opposite of what I thought she would be.
“She was sweet, she was charming, she was a little bit over-awed, she like any bride tried to anticipate how the appointment would go.
“She was a delight actually, not at all what I thought she might be but I always keep an open mind, I never prejudge.
“She looked – in some pictures with a lot of make up on – she looks tough, she looks aggressive but she’s not, she’s a sweetie.”
