Strictly Come Dancing stars AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington’s chemistry is certainly heating up after they shared their steamy “near-kiss” following their sexy Argentine Tango on Saturday night.

The romance rumours between the 33 year old presenter and her dancing pro, 26, first began after they danced their hearts out to an intimate performance alongside Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing last weekend.

Now, AJ has responded to the claims that she and Kai are more than just friends after the dancer gushed over the star following their beautiful performance on Twitter.

“My Argentine tango queen,” he wrote. “So so proud of you @AJOdudu #strictly.”

Amongst many of the comments, one fan replied to Kai’s tweet with the words: “If you two don’t get married I’m going to have a breakdown,” to which AJ responded by adding two laughing face emojis.

The TV presenter also liked the following tweet: “I completely bought into this routine and almost expected you to kiss at the end!! Then I remembered it was #Strictly.”

Fans started to speculate Kai and AJ are dating after the nation heard the Strictly newbie say to his celebrity partner on his microphone: “I love you," following their sensational routine.

And their close bond seems to be going from strength to strength, as AJ shared a video on her Instagram story of Kai from their rehearsals last night where her followers could see the couple enjoying their time together.

During training, AJ filmed Kai as he was trying to get his hat from his foot onto his head by kicking it up into the air.

The Big Brother's Bit on the Side star then teased and dared her friend: “On your head,” before Kai replied: “How much? A fiver?”

But the presenter wanted more than that from her rumoured beau, as she continued: “A Nando’s. You can get me a Nando’s if you don’t do it, and I’ll get you a coffee if you do. That sounds fair!”

Kai’s hat then falls down to the floor before AJ cheers to winning a date from her dancing partner.

“I win a Nando’s!” she celebrated on camera.

It all comes after AJ gave some explanation over her chemistry between herself and Kai, adding that the dancer has been teaching her "how to dance as well as act".

She told The Sun: "Right, So Kai has not only been teaching me how to dance but he's been teaching me how to act.

"There's a lot of passion, there's a lot of chemistry, there's a lot of romance, it's thrilling!"

AJ adds: "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!"
