According to reports and gossip, Kai Widdrington is the latest lovebirds on Strictly.

The couple embraced at the end this week’s training session, which did not dispel any rumours of their romance. 

The couple, who were both single, wrapped their arms around each others as they headed for their cars. They hugged and kissed before going their separate ways on Wednesday.

Love? If the gossip and reports are to be believed, AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington are Strictly's latest lovebirds, and the pair did nothing to dispel the rumours of romance as they embraced at the end of a training session this week (pictured)

Love? Love?

The TV presenter, 33 years old, wore a khaki puffer jacket with an orange, black, and white headscarf. Widdrington, 26, was a professional dancer who wore tracksuit bottoms and a dark coat. 

Last weekend, they performed a steamy Argentine tango that ended in a near kiss.

Widdrington responded to questions about romance rumours from Strictly spinoff It Takes Two this Week by saying: ‘If people respond like this, it means we are doing something right …’

And last Sunday, a source revealed to The Mail On Sun: “It’s nice that there is no curse …’ in a Strictly romantic relationship.” 

The news comes after a BBC One source claimed that AJ and her partner, a TV presenter, made no attempt to conceal the fact they had fallen for one another during intense, grueling training sessions.

Kai, who made his Strictly debut in 2012, is said to have been ‘floored” by his partner, best known for hosting Channel 5’s spinoff Big Brother’s Bit On The Side.

Kai, who had previously turned down a Southampton football career, was heard saying: ‘I love, I love you so very much.’

According to the source, “Kai believes that A. J. is sexy.”

“They have a lovely romance going on, and things have definitely changed over the last week or two. They are now inseparable, both as dance partners, but also apart from that.

“It’s nice when you see a Strictly romantic relationship where there is not a curse, just two people who have fallen in love with one another.

“Those involved in this show have been following this closely over the past weeks and have believed that this was always on the horizon.” It’s wonderful.

Miss Odudu admitted last week that they had ‘chemistry’, adding: ‘There is a lot of passion… a lot of romance, it’s thrilling.’

Strictly spokesmen declined to comment on the couple’s relationship.

The Argentine Tango that they performed last night is widely considered to be one of the most romantic dances.

Afterwards, the pair – who are tipped as potential finalists – almost kissed in front of the live audience and the show’s millions of viewers.

Host Tess Daly described it as ‘intense.’ Shirley Ballas, the head judge, gave them both a perfect ten following a standing ovation. She stated, “That was world champion level.”

Anton Du Beke gave them a nine, while Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mbuse each gave eight. Their total now stands at 35.
