Move over Gemma and Gorka, there’s a new rumoured Strictly Come Dancing romance to gossip about!
Saturdays singer Mollie King and her pro dance partner AJ Pritchard have found themselves subjected to ‘OMG, they’re so dating’ speculation after sharing an excited embrace following their third live performance.
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.
A video posted to Mollie’s Instagram account showed the over the moon pair hugging, laughing and saying they nearly “cried” after the judges’ glowing comments about their routine.
Naturally, a pair of young, single, attractive people hugging each other has sparked speculation of a sizzling, red hot romance behind the scenes.
Cause, well, obvs, that’s what happens when you’re a Strictly contestant, right? Single = definitely dating. Married = probs having an affair.
The romance speculation was heightened by the fact AJ kept hold of Mollie’s hand after they broke their embrace.
One fan wrote: “Mollie it looks like AJ has swept you off your feet. You both make a lovely couple.”
Photos published by The Sun showed the dance partners clutching takeaway hot drinks while keeping their arms wrapped around each other’s waists.
Just good friends or something more?
