Strictly Come Dancing star Nigel Harman has been issued a warning over his “intense” chemistry with his pro partner dancer.
Partnered up with Katya Jones, the pair have been setting the dance floor on fire in the 21st series of the glitzy BBC One show. Right from the start, former EastEnders star Nigel has made a splash, so much so he stormed to the top of the leaderboard in Week 1.
Despite the two receiving lower scores in the following weeks, Nigel and Katya have become firm favourites. And speculation is rife that the two could be a thing, following a rather passionate performance on the show.

And according to a body language expert, the two have an “intense” chemistry. So much so, that Nigel and Katya have been issued a warning amid the so-called Strictly curse rumours.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, and on behalf of Betfair Casino, body language expert Darren Stanton said: “Nigel and Katya’s connection has been strong from day one. Nigel does like to keep things close to his chest, but I can definitely tell they have a reciprocal liking on and off the dance floor.”
Darren went on: “The level of intensity between Nigel and Katya is huge. Just from looking at subtle giveaways with prolonged eye gazes and comforting here and there.”

Following Darren’s take on Nigel and Kata’s chemistry, a PR expert shared their thoughts on it. And it seems it could backfire on the pair.
“Talk of Nigel and Katya’s chemistry sparked amongst Strictly fans after their Paso Doble in the opening week. The pair then added fuel to the fire after Nigel kissed Katya on the cheek following their Viennese Waltz in week two,” said Dom Aldworth, Head of Brand Marketing at Slingo.
Dom went on: “This compatibility as a dancing partnership means they should feel hopeful about their chances of success in the competition, however, having chemistry whilst performing is one thing and talk of the Strictly curse is already starting.”

The expert also said how their “compatibility as a dancing partnership” should enable them to feel optimistic about going far in the show. However, Dom warned: “Having chemistry whilst performing is one thing and talk of the Strictly curse is already starting.”
He explained: “While Strictly is a dancing competition, fans are heavily invested in the couples off the dance floor too, meaning Katya and Nigel will need to monitor public opinion.
“Previous romance rumours cut Katya’s series short in 2018 when she and former Seann Walsh were voted off within weeks of photos which showed the two kissing, despite Walsh having a girlfriend at the time.”
The expert went on: “So while Katya and Nigel’s on-floor chemistry may help them score well with the judges, not getting caught up in this connection off the floor will be key to their long-term success in the competition.”
