Strictly Come Dancing's Graziano breaks silence on truth behind four suspected romances on show

BBC Strictly Come Dancing star Graziano has spoken out over all the rumours of potential romances on the show this year.

Strictly fans have speculated on Kai Widdrington and AJ Odudu being together, as well as the infamous moment Adam Peaty seemingly almost kissed partner Katya Jones.

Adam was seen nearly kissing Katya following a steamy dance routine earlier this series, but last week saw the Team GB swimmer and Katya were in the dance off against Graziano and Judi Love last week.

And now the Strictly pro has spoken out, telling the Sun: "The problem is we have so much work, so much rehearsals and so much pressure, do you think the couples do something? [laughs]. Absolutely not, man.

"I’m in love with all of them. I can see any spot, any five minutes break; they’re rehearsing. There’s no romance I think this season."

Other couples to spark romance rumours include Rose Ayling Ellis and Giovanni Pernice, following his notorious split from Maura Higgins, the Love Island finalist.

Tilly Ramsay has also been linked with a romance with her Strictly pro Nikita due to a close bond with the pair, but both are adamant they are just pals.

Graziano added on partner Judi: "Being at home, In my head there was a little voice telling me 'she’s not gonna make it'. But she did it.

"She came so focused mentally. You could see she was in bed for 10 days but she was ready."

Strictly Come Dancing airs Saturdays on BBC1.
