Strictly Come Dancing fans are claiming that 'romance is in the air' after a professional dancer shared snaps of their cosy reunion with their celebrity dance partner.
The stars of the BBC dance competition are no strangers to being hit with the infamous 'curse' rumours after a slew of stars found love on the show with their dance partners over the years. This year, Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystał have been fighting off rumours about a potential relationship since the start of the series.
However, eyes are now on Nadiya Bychkova, who recently shared sweet snaps of her reuniting with Tom Dean. The two didn't have time to show off their range of skills as they were eliminated during week two. Ahead of the final, the two reunited and shared the sweet moment with fans.
"Team Golden Reunion. Look who is back to @bbcstrictly. Please welcome my celebrity partner 3 time Olympic Champion @tomdean00. Great to see you partner, Let’s do some dancing now," she wrote as the caption. In the first photo, the duo had their arms wrapped around each other's waists as they leaned in to each other.

Fans couldn't help but rush to the comment section and joke about a potential romance with one user posting: "Romance is in the air," along with a heart emoji.
Another said: "Wish she'd look at me like that." One cheeky fan commented: "Enjoy each other's company again. You look good together," and added a winking face emoji. In June 2022, Nadiya revealed she was in a relationship with Strictly co-star Kai Widdrington.
But their love story soon ended when it was reported they split up this year. It was understood they were keeping their distance from each other behind the scenes. The pair split before the start of this year's series of the BBC dance competition after finding love on the show. They had started dating in 2022 and tried to keep their romance away from the spotlight before eventually going public.
It was reported at the time the split was amicable, but claims later emerged that the couple are "no longer on friendly terms". Just last week, Nadiya revealed to the Mirror that the former pair are "not friends". Asked about the break up, Nadiya said: "We work together but we are not friends and that’s okay. One thing I can tell you is that when you see me dancing with him it will be amazing because I’m a professional."
