Professional dancers and their famous partners have been spied getting close and cuddly as the Strictly Come Dancing tour kicked off this week.
This comes after reports that Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington have 'been dating for months', reports the Mirror.
Nadiya split from her famous Slovenia football star fiance, who is the father of her kids, last year.
Pictures show Nadiya and Kai in each other's arms as they left a hotel together while on the live arena tour.
And now lothario Giovanni Pernice has been snapped embracing dance partner Rose Ayling-Ellis in new snaps captured in a lobby at a hotel in Birmingham.
In the captures, the bond between the Italian performer and actress - who made Strictly history as the first-ever deaf contestant to take part - is strong to see.
In one photo the duo's faces are close together as Giovanni places his hand on Rose's neck, another show's Rose's arm wrapped around Giovanni's waist. They then stroll off still connected, with Giovanni moving his hand from Rose's upper body to her middle.
The EastEnders star and Giovanni - who was dating Love Island's Maura until he split up with her to focus on Strictly in October - have been very vocal about becoming close friends after being partnered up on Strictly.
And when they were crowned winners, Giovanni made sure he will never forget by getting a tattoo to commemorate the 2021 series of the hit BBC show.
The hot stepper now has a Glitterball trophy inked on his arm alongside the date of his and Rose's incredible win.
He unveiled the inking on his Instagram Stories and penned: "We are the champions, we are the champions Rose."
Giovanni previously thanked Rose - who has a boyfriend - for 'making all his dreams come true' when they lifted the glitterball trophy together in December.
