Judi Love is very happy with her Strictly Come Dancing partner.
The comedian appeared on Monday's Loose Women to update her colleagues on her dancing journey and share her glee at being paired up with professional Graziano Di Prima.
As she spoke, via webcam, to Charlene White, Coleen Nolan, Brenda Edwards and Carol McGiffin about her gruelling routines and being trained up she could hardly hide her excitement about getting to know Graziano.
She even revealed that she has dubbed her partner "Graz" as a sweet nickname - which did not go unnoticed by the Loose Women panel.
Recalling the moment Graziano was introduced to her, Judi shared: "Once I saw his little legs I was like oooh those legs look good to me!"
Judi then went on to list off his good qualities as she added: " I was overwhelmed with joy he is so lovely and obviously he is so beautiful to look at there is so much depth to him!"
As the joker went on to shower Graziano with praise her telly star pals couldn't help but quiz her if she was going to be caught up in the Strictly curse.
Many stars have succumbed to temptation and fallen head over heels for their partner during the close contact on the BBC One show and so whenever two partners get close it often leads to speculation that they are more than friends.
One of the ladies, eager to know more, asked: "Is the curse going to hit you?"
Playing coy, Judi replied: "Listen the only curse we are having is to dance with our heart and to enjoy our experience!"
