Dr Chris Brown recently made his debut as the new co-host for Dancing With The Stars alongside Sonia Kruger.
And just one week after taking on his new role, the celebrity vet is reportedly already developing a close bond with contestant Lisa McCune.
According to New Idea, Chris, 45, and Lisa, 53, have developed a ‘sweet connection’ as they both feel out of their comfort zones.
‘Standing in a tuxedo under countless spotlights as everyone gets their razzle-dazzle on is not something [Chris] is overly familiar with,’ a source said.
‘Getting into a sequin gown and waltzing on national television is a totally new world for Lisa.’
The insider added: ‘They already share a really sweet connection.’
The source said Lisa and Chris are not dating but their friendship could develop into something more.
‘They are pragmatic and ambitious and truly have all the makings of becoming a potential couple,’ they added.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Chris and Lisa for comment.
Chris had a lukewarm reception from fans of the dancing competition when he made his debut on the show earlier this month as they called for former host Daryl Somers to return.
Viewers took to X as the Channel Seven show unfolded, with most bemoaning the loss of the Hey Hey It’s Saturday star, 72, from their screens.
One person wrote: ‘I’m watching #DancingAU but feel sorry that Daryl isn’t hosting.’

‘Don’t get me wrong, I love Dr Chris Brown, but I feel sorry for Daryl Somers,’ another said.
A third took a direct shot at Daryl’s replacement, commenting: ‘We still trying to make Chris Brown happen?’
Others disagreed with the naysayers, with one person saying: ‘I think Chris is going to be great in the post-performance, sky lounge role.’
