Tilly Ramsay ‘joins celebrity dating app Raya’ as her Strictly dance partner Nikita Kumzin finally reunites with his girlfriend in Germany
She sparked romance rumours with her Strictly Come Dancing partner Nikita Kumzin, during their time on the BBC competition.
And it has now been claimed that Tilly Ramsay, 20 – who was the ninth star to have been eliminated from the latest series of Strictly – has joined celebrity dating app Raya.
The daughter of chef Gordon – who has always insisted that she and professional dancer Nikita, 23, are ‘best friends’ – is seemingly looking for top-tier love now that the show is over.
Looking for love? Tilly Ramsay, 20 – who was the ninth star to have been eliminated from the latest series of Strictly – has reportedly joined celebrity dating app Raya
A source told The Sun: ‘She joined ages ago and wasn’t using the app as she was concentrating on Strictly.’
MailOnline has contacted Tilly Ramsay’s representatives for comment.
The Raya report emerged as Nikita finally reunited with his long-term girlfriend Nicole Wirt back in Frankfurt, Germany.
The professional dancer took to Instagram on Monday evening to share a quick clip showing that they were together at a Christmas market.

It was previously claimed that the Strictly pro was previously in ‘hot water’ with Nicole after failing to return to Germany following his elimination from the show.
Nicole had hoped that Nikita would fly back to German straight after being eliminated from the dancing contest.
But it’s understood that he was unable to fly back to his homeland until his contractual obligations with the show are officially over, while complications regarding the ongoing coronavirus crisis have further hampered his return.

A source told MailOnline at the time: ‘Nikita hasn’t made any decision not to return home, he wouldn’t have been able to go home regardless of new variants as he is contracted to the show and so needed for group numbers etc.’
Insiders informed The Sun that the decision has been influenced by new quarantine rules which he would have to follow when leaving and entering the UK, but said that the choice had ‘raised eyebrows, not least Nicole’s.’
The source said: ‘She hoped that as soon as Nikita was done with the competition he would be on the first flight to Germany to see her.’

Tilly and Nikita previously set tongues wagging when they were seen leaving his flat together.
However, last month a source told The Sun Online that Tilly sees Nikita as more like a big brother and she’s also becoming close with his girlfriend Nicole Wirt.
They said: ‘Tilly finds the stories really funny. Lovers? She’s been saying he’s more like a brother. Tilly says Nikita is literally the funniest person she’s ever met but there’s nothing at all going on behind the scenes.’
