A message picked up by hidden mics in the Strictly Come Dancing has dded fuel to the fire that finalists AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington are romantically involved.
It was back in October that rumours started to swirl that fan favourites AJ and Kai had become an item behind the scenes as their chemistry lit up the ballroom.
The speculation started after the couple's 'near kiss' at the end of their Argentine Tango back in October, with a source telling The Sun: "“They have this lovely romance going on, things have definitely changed in the last week or so and they are inseparable, not just as dance partners but away from that, too.”

Both TV host AJ and former Dancing with the Stars pro Kai were single going into their Strictly journey, with an insider adding: “It’s nice to see a Strictly romance where there is no curse, just two people who have fallen head over heels for each other.
"Those involved in the show have been watching this closely over the weeks and have thought this was always on the cards. It's lovely."
While talk of a romance between the two has cooled of late, with AJ and Kai facing the heartache of the dance-off last weekend, before bouncing back in style to earn their first 40 of the series on Saturday, something Kai said to AJ at the end of their rumba suggests he has some strong feelings for her.
The clip was posted on Strictly's Twitter on Monday night, in a roundup of what hidden mics had picked up during the semi-final.
And, as the music to their rumba finished, Kai embraced AJ in his arms and told her: "You ledge. You beauty. Well done! Well done darling. Well done. Well well done."
Reacting to the video, one Strictly fan responded: "Kai saying, “Legend, You Beauty, Well Done, Darling” were so moving after an already very moving dance. It was both sweet & sexy, too. Again, like that gorgeous dance."
Another tweeted: "AJ and Kai are just adorable!" and a third joked: "ffs even the soundbites make me tear up LOL :)
