AJ Odudu has told her Strictly Come Dancing partner Kai Widdrington how much she misses him.
The pair were forced to miss out on the final after AJ failed to recover from her 'traumatic' ankle injury.
AJ, 33, was devastated not to be able to perform, but today posted a playful pic of Kai carrying the TV presenter on his back.
The Blackburn-born star looks stunning as she rests her head on the hunk's shoulders, wearing a striped silk blouse and blue trousers.
Her foot is wrapped up in a grey support sock.
Captioning the snap AJ wrote: "Just missing @kaiwidd being my personal mode of transport TBH. I really did have his back."
AJ also posted a video of Kai giving her a piggyback as they made their way around the Strictly Come Dancing studio the night of the final.
In sweet scenes AJ can be seen waving her arms in the air while sporting that gorgeous silver dress and still looking fabulous even though her leg was in a boot.
Ahead of the couple a man can be seen holding the star's crutches.
AJ's posts went down a storm with fans with many telling the star how much they missed her.
"You 2 are the best! Miss watching you dance together," said one.
While another said: "Miss you two together so much."
However other responses were a little more playful with fan joking: "I’m sure he’d still happily assist if you asked him to."
And another quipped: "Keep checking to see if you’ve got married yet to each other."
AJ and Kai were surrounded by rumours of a romance from the get-go.
While the pair have refused to confirm they're dating, their sizzling chemistry during their sultry routines wowed viewers - sparking suggestions they were more than just friends.
Fans were convinced something was going on after the pair performed a stunning American Smooth to Whitney Houston’s hit I Have Nothing during Movie Week.
Microphones picked up Kai’s love language after they finished the dance, as he picked her up and whispered in her ear: “I love you so much.”
AJ was full of praise for the 26-year-old dancer, who she said was a ‘real gentleman’ and was going to be in her life ‘forever’.
“We just have the best time. He’s a family man, he’s someone who takes care of his family, his friends. He’s a real gentleman. He really, really is,” she said, adding that Kai was also ‘kind, funny and patient’.
However despite the singletons being linked, AJ has claimed the rumours have put paid to her real love life.
She said: “I’ve not had one direct message from a potential suitor, that is not happening."
Speaking to The Sun AJ suggested any man who was interested in her would be immediately put off after seeing her steamy routines with Kai.
“He’s witnessed me wrap my legs around Kai every single week!” she joked.
