Strictly's Kai 'helping AJ get over past heartbreak' as pair don't deny rumours

Rumours have been flying around of Strictly Come Dancing couple AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington.

The pair have been earning some huge scores while on Strictly Come Dancing which could be down to how well they are getting on behind the scenes.

There have been rumours of a romance between the two since the start of the series but they are yet to confirm.

But they also haven't denied the idea of a relationship.

A source told New magazine that Kai as well as bonding with AJ on the dancefloor, the professional is also providing additional support in her personal life.

The insider says Kai has been helping the TV star forget her past boy troubles.

They said: "AJ has been open about her past relationship history. She does find it hard to trust after previous partners cheated on her. But Kai is a really nice guy.

"He's helping her get over any previous issues. So far he's ticking all of the boxes."

AJ has opened up on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins about when she was cheated on in the past by three past boyfriends and one even cheated with her best friend.

Kai and AJ appeared on BBC's It Takes Two following rumours that their relationship had been confirmed but they didn't admit to anything.

Kai said: "If people want to think that, the great... but we were just doing our job, and AJ did a great job."

The source went on to say it's early days in their romantic relationship but both of them were single so they aren't doing anyone 'any harm'.

They also said that the pair are spending 'every minute' together even when they aren't doing dance training for Strictly and 'they can't be pulled apart' due to their special bond.

AJ and Kai could be in with a chance of winning the whole show not only down to their dancing ability but also how well they get on with each other.

The source added: "You can feel the electricity between them - and that's what makes a good winning couple. It makes the dances so much more.

"When you've got that unique chemistry, you've got the chance to win Strictly. And many people behind the scenes these two are this year's winners."

AJ and Kai have been at the top of the leader board more than once during this year's series with just last week being awarded 39 points out of a possible 40 for their Charleston.

Their Movie Week performance to Whitney Houston's 'I have nothing' from The Bodyguard last month further sparked the rumours as Kai said 'Aww I I love you, I love you so much' as they hugged.

During the following week Strictly host Claudia Winkleman ask Kai to give AJ a kiss following their Viennese Waltz performance.

Kai insisted he would kiss AJ after they received their scores for the dance but instead he just kissed her on the hand.
