Rumours of a supposed romance have been reaching fever pitch of late.
And adding further fuel to the fire, Strictly Come Dancing’s AJ Pritchard, 23, seemingly smooched Mollie King, 30, during their very heated Rumba, leaving the singer blushing and breathless on Saturday night’s show.
And famed for her brazen remarks, it was no surprise Tess Daly asked the question that was on everybody’s lips when she addressed AJ directly and probed whether he planted a tender kiss when they danced to Hopelessly Devoted To You from Grease.

The head judge said of the dance: ‘You really embraced Sandy and Danny. I believed your love story. You did throw in a lift there.’

‘I don’t feel like I need somebody, but I obviously would love somebody,’ she told the publication. ‘I love being in love. I literally love being in love. I’m so romantic. I’m such a girly girl.’
Mollie, who previously dated model David Gandy on and off until 2016, said she did not want to feel like she was in a relationship if she wasn’t sure she liked someone.

The Strictly Come Dancing star added she felt happy that the characters from Sex And The City were still single in their thirties too.
‘They’re all over 30 and having the time of their lives,’ she said of the fictional show. ‘I’m like, ‘Okay, if Carrie Bradshaw can have that lifestyle, I’ve nothing to worry about.”‘
On her plans for the future, she added: ‘I mean, I definitely want children, 100%, so I feel that’s probably the only thing that I tie to age.’
