RUMOUR HAS IT
Strictly fans all think the same after Rylan grills AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington over romance rumours
STRICTLY Come Dancing’s AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington have continued to play coy about potential romance rumours after being grilled by Rylan.
The pair appeared on Strictly spin-off It Takes Two to discuss their breathtaking Argentine Tango, which earned them 35 points last week and was credited by Shirley Ballas as “World Championship standard”.

However, it also set tongues wagging with their intense and sizzling chemistry during the sexed-up routine, with the dance usually angled on a romantic partnership.
In fact, fans were even convinced they were on the edge of kissing, only to stop themselves.
It seems even Rylan was lured in by the possibility of the pair doing the tango on and off the dancefloor, and seized his opportunity to ask during the chat.
He asked: “Can we settle a few scores here please? I’ve known AJ for many a year now, I know she can’t lie to me, what’s going on?”
Bursting into laughter, the couple didn’t confirm or deny any romance going on, with Kai instead tactically responding with discussion on the choreography.
“We said this right, and I said this to you, I said if people react like this, then it means we’re doing something right, because that’s the way the dance should be danced,” he explained.
“Leandro Maria choreographed it this way, it was a very passionate song, a real fiery piece, and very intimate, and that’s what we wanted, and that is the characterisation of the Argentine Tango.
Keeping an arm tight around AJ, he continued: “So if people want to think that, then great, but we’re just doing our job and she did a great job.”
Rylan also shrugged off the speculation, taking their side and declaring: “Just doing their job, alright? Stop it, leave them alone!”
The pair will continue with their romantic routines this week, with a Halloween special Vienesse Waltz to Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande.
Playing the sultry song, Rylan told them: “It’s saucy! I thought you were trying to pipe them rumours down!”
The couple’s close connection has been evident for weeks, with Kai being heard telling AJ that he “loved her” after their dance inspired by Whitney Houston’s The Bodyguard for Movie Week.
Strictly insiders are now claiming that their electric chemistry is now blossoming into something more.
A Strictly insider told us: “Everyone backstage is talking about the sparks flying between AJ and Kai. It’s very passionate and intense whenever they’re together.
“They’re both single and have really hit it off and everyone on the show is saying it’s only a matter of time.
“They’re always laughing and flirting — romance is 100 per cent on the cards.
