Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while implicitly unwrapping an Optional value

I have my code exactly like in the video but every time I run it, it marks my labels as nil. I've rechecked my outlets 3 times and the are all connected to the corresponding labels in the storyboard.

import UIKit

class ContactDetailController: UITableViewController {

var contact: Contact?

//Outlets
@IBOutlet weak var phoneNumberLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var emailAddressLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var streetAddressLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var cityAddressLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var stateLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var zipCodeLabel: UILabel!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
}

func configureView() {
    guard let contact = contact else { return }

    phoneNumberLabel.text = contact.phone
    emailAddressLabel.text = contact.email
    streetAddressLabel.text = contact.street
    cityAddressLabel.text = contact.city
    stateLabel.text = contact.state
    zipCodeLabel.text = contact.zip
}

}
