Paralympic triathlete Lauren Steadman, 25, praised her professional dance partner AJ Pritchard, 24, amid the Strictly Come Dancing live tour. Taking to Instagram, she shared a clip of them performing for fans with her 81,000 followers. She could be seen beginning their romantic Viennese Waltz with an elegant spin in his arms. Stumbling, however, she pulled a terrified expression, causing them both to burst into giggles in the middle of the routine.
Speaking out on her partnership with AJ, Lauren credited him with catching her.
“My face! I lost balance…!” she explained. “But he never fails to catch me! Giggling the whole dance!”
Several of their fellow Strictly stars clearly found the video hilarious, with Katya Jones, 29, and Luba Mushtuk, 28, both liking the upload.
Choreographer Jason Gilkison, 52, also commented a laughing emoji.
Elsewhere, AJ is rumoured to have shared a steamy kiss with Caroline Flack, 39, after the National Television Awards last week.
According to a source for The Mirror, AJ and Caroline were whispering and touching each other’s arms as well as “passionately snogging” at the star-studded bash.
An onlooker previously told The Sun the duo didn’t seemed to mind being spotted, saying: “AJ was blatantly touching her bum and getting cosy.”
Since then, a source told the publication AJ is “mad” about the Love Island presenter, but his busy schedule with the Strictly tour is preventing them from planning a date.
“The pair have been texting since, with the Strictly pro mad about Caroline,” they said.
“But they have no immediate plans to see each other.”
Express.co.uk has contacted representatives for AJ and Caroline asking for comment.
Caroline is currently single, having recently split from her ex-fiancé Andrew Brady, 28.
Last month, she told the publication: “I think we’re both doing what we need to do at the minute.
“We’re both looking after our own heads and doing our own thing. That’s really important.”
She also said she would not be rekindling her romance with Andrew in the future.
AJ keeps his cards close to his chest when it comes to his love life, although he previously said he didn’t think he should have to define his sexuality.
