Strictly Come Dancing’s Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin have been seen sharing a close hug amid rumours that romance is blossoming between them.
The 19-year-old daughter of Gordon Ramsay and the professional dancer, 23, were pictured full of smiles after an appearance on Strictly spin-off show, It Takes Too.
They showed off their close friendship as they laughed together before sharing an awkward looking, but cosy, hug outside the studios ahead of leaving in a car, writes The Mirror.

Tilly has formed a close bond with her dancing partner, but the pair have laughed off rumours of the Strictly ‘curse’.
They have insisted that their relationship is purely platonic, but it has not quashed speculation by fans, despite the fact that Nikita is in a relationship already.
A source recently told The Sun Online that their relationship was much more like brother and sister and that Tilly had also formed a relationship with Nikita’s girlfriend, Nicole Wirt.

The source 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.
They added: ”They are too busy having fun and she’s also spoken to his girlfriend a couple of times on Facetime.”
The source added: “Tilly thinks Nicole’s amazing – an absolutely incredible dancer. She’s been really supportive of them and been wishing them well in private throughout the series.”
But as the rumours have still persisted Tilly has reportedly grown frustrated with the constant scrutiny of her relationship with Nikita.
A source told New! magazine: “Tilly is loving being on the show but she wants to concentrate on her dancing. Feeling like she’s under the microscope with everyone analysing her body language with Nikita is really stressing her out.”
They added that the star was fearful that the speculation would be upsetting Nicole.
The insider explained: ”She’s worried about annoying Nikita’s girlfriend and though she and Nikita do get on brilliantly, she’s anxious about it appearing that she’s trying to make a move on someone else’s boyfriend.”
“She wants people to be interested in her moves, not her love life.”
