Strictly's biggest sex secret - the affair which never came out amid romping rumours

Strictly 's biggest sex secret remains the affair which never came out.

Last series, BBC bosses were hit by rumours that two people involved in the show had been romping behind-the-scenes.

It's been almost seven months since the story emerged but we are still no closer to discovering who the mystery lovers were.

Their steamy trysts were said to have started following an attraction early on in the series, but their identities have yet to be made public.

At the time, a show insider told the Daily Star most viewers would be surprised to find out which two had been enjoying saucy shenanigans behind-the-scenes.

A source said: "You wouldn’t have put these two together. If people knew they had been quickstepping off to the bedroom, they would be stunned.

"It seems there was an attraction early in the contest. They tried hard to resist it but couldn’t hold back.

"They did a good job hiding it but gossip has started to spread."

The show has become notorious for the Strictly curse as so many of the contestants have fallen in love with their dance partners.

Kevin Clifton and Stacey Dooley famously fell for each other during their winning stint on the show together in 2018.

Rachel Riley went on to marry her dance partner Pasha Kovalev and they are now parents to a daughter.

As well as full blown love affairs, there has also been plenty of scandal over the years.

Back in 2004, Natasha Kaplinsky was rumoured to have struck up a romance with dancer partner Brendan Cole, who was engaged at the time.

There was also the infamous 2018 snog-gate incident when Seann Walsh, who had a long-term girlfriend, was pictured kissing married pro dancer Katya Jones.

Seann split from his girlfriend, while Katya and her husband Neil stayed together for several months before their marriage eventually crumbled.

Other stars who got together after meeting on the show include Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez, Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell and Kristina Rihanoff and Ben Cohen.
