Fans of Strictly Come Dancing are hopeful of a little off-screen romance after seeing Tilly Ramsay couple up with newcomer Nikita Kuzmin.
Viewers saw delighted Tilly, 19, matched with 23-year-old Ukrainian hunk Nikita on the launch night of the latest series of the hit dance competition.
Saturday’s show saw all of the new celebrities paired with their dance partners – but the electricity between Gordon Ramsay’s daughter and her professional really got tongues wagging.
Wearing a black sequin mini dress and high heels, blonde Tilly looked stunning as she sat beside her dance partner in their introductory interview.
Nikita showed off his tanned, toned torso in a plunging open shirt as they chatted to host Claudia Winkleman before their first dance style was revealed.
During the chat Tilly was seen playing with her wavy blonde locks and beaming while she looked at Nikita, causing fans to take to Twitter to discuss their chemistry.
One wrote: “I sense a Strictly curse coming with Tilly and her partner. He has a GF but she definitely fancies him haha.”
Another added: “Tilly and Nikita would make such a cute couple!! Sparks! Pity he has a girlfriend.”
A third chipped in: “Awh, Tilly looks like she might have a little crush. I love this pairing so much.”
A fourth agreed that the duo look made for each other as they posted: “Gordon Ramsay’s daughter is gorgeous. Her and her dance partner make the perfect pair.”
However, the eager viewers could be set for disappointment, as Nikita is already spoken for by fellow dancer Nicole Writ.
Nikita was announced as a new professional for Strictly earlier this summer and hasn’t hidden his excitement at the role.
He said: “I’ve always been amazed by the magic Strictly Come Dancing brings. No matter what country I have found myself living in, I’ve never missed a chance to watch it.
“And joining it as a professional dancer is my big chance to make some magic on the most famous dance floor. I can’t wait to give it my all!”
Although Nikita may have some regrets soon – he’s already been told off by Gordon for wearing his shirt unbuttoned around daughter Tilly.
Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday at 7pm on BBC One.
