Strictly Come Dancing star AJ Odudu has admitted that there is “romance” with pro-dance partner Kai Widdrington.
Kai is appearing in the hit BBC dance show for the first time and has formed a sizzling partnership with the 33-year-old.
And AJ says their routines have “chemistry, passion and romance”.
Sadly that’s where it ends though, apparently. For now…

And even though the pair has denied any extra-curricular activities, AJ has admitted there is “chemistry” in the routines they dance together.
In an interview with The Sun, she said: “Right, so Kai has not only been teaching me how to dance but he’s been teaching me how to act.
What did AJ say about her routines with Kai?
She continued: “There’s a lot of passion, there’s a lot of chemistry, there’s a lot of romance, it’s thrilling!
“And in practice I could not look at Kai without bursting out into laughter. But now hopefully come Saturday night, I’m going to look at him eye to eye, look in love and it’s going to be amazing. But it is awkward!”
She also added that she’s focusing so hard on the steps in practice that she’s not “really focused on being in his personal space”.

For his part, 26-year-old Kai describes AJ as a “dream student”.
