The excited pair were seen jumping into each other’s arms and sharing a huge hug after scoring 30 out of a possible 40 points for their American Smooth on Saturday night.

Naturally, a pair of young, single, attractive people hugging each other has sparked speculation of a sizzling, red hot romance behind the scenes.

One fan wrote: “Mollie it looks like AJ has swept you off your feet. You both make a lovely couple.”
