Strictly's Tilly and Nikita rumours rage on as dancer's girlfriend deletes cute message

Strictly stars Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin are said to be getting very close just two weeks in to the new series, with the professional dancer snapped heading into the TikTok star's flat last week.

Fuelling the speculation that the Strictly curse has struck again, Nikita's partner of five-years, Nicole Wirt, has deleted a supportive message she originally left for the pair on Saturday.

In the post, the professional dancer had shown some love for Tilly and Nikita after the first live Strictly Come Dancing show.

Sharing a snap of the pair's Waltz on Instagram, Nicole wrote that she was cheering on her 'faves' and declared their performance to be 'mesmerising' in an adoring message that has since disappeared.

In addition to seemingly deleting her supportive comment, the 23-year-old has also set tongues wagging with some pretty cryptic posts since.

The Germany-based dancer wrote on Wednesday: "Stop complaining so much over things you can't change or control" and "Overthinking never lead me anywhere good…"

It was reported that Tilly and Nikita looked 'quite flirty' together as they were snapped arriving's at the TikTok star's apartment.

A source told The Sun at the time: "Nikita was first and waited outside before Tilly arrived a few minutes later. They were grinning from ear-to-ear, chatting and laughing."

"They looked very comfortable in each other's company, quite flirty. There is a clear physical chemistry. After strolling to the door they headed inside and stayed all evening."

The Mirror has contacted representatives for Strictly Come Dancing for comment.

The rumours surrounding Tilly and her dancing partner come after her dad, chef Gordon Ramsey, warned her against finding love on the show.

A source told The Sun: "Tilly’s dad did warn her, "Don’t date any of those dancers".'

"Nicole’s "overthinking" might well be fuelled by all the speculation going on online among viewers who can see an amazing partnership developing between Nikita and Tilly."

It's been reported that according to show insiders, Tilly and Nikita have 'hit it off' after meeting on the set of the BBC ballroom dancing show.

On Saturday night, the dancing duo reduced Tilly's mother to tears following their impressive performance.

Tana Ramsey was spotted wiping her eyes after watching her daughter take to the dance floor.

Strictly co-host Tess Daly spotted Tilly's proud mum and let the star know.

"That was mesmerising! You're the sweetest," she told Tilly following her perfromance.

"I know you were nervous but you definitely didn't look it. And I think you've got a very proud mum in the audience - she's crying!"

While dad Gordon couldn't make it to the show, he did send his daughter a good luck message before things kicked off.

Taking to his Instagram account, the culinary star captioned a snap of Tilly and partner Nikita: "Wishing these two the very best of luck ahead of tonight’s LIVE dance @tillyramsay @nikita__kuzmin @bbcstrictly. So proud of you Tills, love you from your dance coach extraordinaire Dad ."

19-year-old Tilly replied: "Love you."
