Strictly's AJ and Kai 'confirm romance' in sweet moment, according to fans

Strictly Come Dancing viewers picked up on some telling signs that AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington are "most likely" dating.

Several viewers believe the latest episode on Saturday night gave them all the clues they needed, that TV presenter AJ could be romantically involved with her professional dance partner - with host Claudia Winkleman only convincing them more.

Both stars have downplayed the reports and speculation for weeks, despite their steamy performances sending the rumour mill into overdrive.

Saturday night was no different, but it wasn't just their clear chemistry on the dancefloor that left viewers convinced they were together.

The pair danced the Viennese Waltz for Halloween Week, to Ariana Grande's hit Dangerous Woman.

Before they even hit the dancefloor, a VT showed AJ's young nephew asking Kai: "Why don’t you just kiss her?" leading to the pair laughing hysterically.

Viewers loved the moment, and questioned if it confirmed a romance.

After a "near kiss" on the show earlier this month, host Claudia wasted no time in grilling the pair after the comments from her nephew.

She went straight in too, as if it was what everyone was talking about backstage, encouraging Kai to take the moment to give AJ a kiss on live TV.

It's Kai's reaction though, as well as AJ's, that left viewers speculating they had basically confirmed they were dating.

Claudia urged: "If you want to kiss at any point now... come on Kai. Kai, it's the right time."

Kai then agreed it was the right time, before the pair looked at each other grinning while keeping their arms around each other.

Again, neither of them denied it or questioned the claims, as Kai responded: "I know it is, we'll do it after the scores," to which AJ burst out laughing.

She added: "How exciting," as Claudia told him: "We're looking forward to the kiss," while he instead kissed AJ's hand.

Of course the pair could just be playing along and laughing off the speculation, given every denial so far has been ignored.

But viewers raced to Twitter convinced AJ and Kai were together, with one writing: "Basically confirmed what we have all thought, they are a couple!!"

Another said: "I feel like AJ and Kai got outed as a couple by her nephew and Claudia Winkleman."

A third fan added: "They seem so happy together bless them."

Meanwhile, a fourth viewer said: "I love that everyone is catching on to kai and aj most likely being together."

Strictly Come Dancing airs Saturdays with the results show on Sundays on BBC One.
