Strictly Come Dancing star Mollie King has claimed she “loves being in love” just days after being seen with dance partner AJ Pritchard at the Pride of Britain Awards.
The pair sparked rumours of romance after being spotted leaving the Pride of Britain after party together on Monday night, and now Mollie has opened up about her feelings.
The Saturdays singer gave an interview for the December edition of Women’s Health, and gushed about her love of relationships.

“I love being in love. I literally love being in love,” Mollie said. “I’m so romantic. I’m such a girly girl.”
She went on to talk about the kind of relationship she wants to be in – saying that she never feels like she “needs” somebody, but she would definitely “love somebody”.
Mollie and AJ have sent the rumour mill spinning ever since they were partnered together on the dance show, with AJ confessing that he’d hoped to be paired with the singer.
“Training is a dream and we’re having so much fun in there,” he said when asked about the rumours by Heat magazine. “Who knows what will happen,” he added. “You do get very close.”
The pair have been sharing frequent cosy snaps to Instagram, and definitely seem to be very comfortable together.
An onlooker at the Pride of Britain Awards claimed they seemed completely wrapped up in each other: “Mollie and AJ only had eyes for each other as they shared jokes and danced together.”
The pair had been going strong on the dance show until last weekend, which saw them in the bottom two for the first time.
