STRICTLY pair Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin squirmed on the It Takes Two sofa last night after Rylan Clarke teased them over romance rumours.
It followed the pro-dancer's jaw-dropping topless dance-off on the BBC competition over the weekend.
Rylan joked with the TV couple after Nikita accused Gordon Ramsay's daughter of unbuttoning "my button".
Tilly and Nikita were eliminated from Sunday's show, but not before they danced the Samba and Nikita suffered a wardrobe malfunction and removed his shirt mid-shimmy.
As Rylan questioned them about Nikita's shirt and how it "fell off", the dancer confirmed the top "had a mind of its own".
But he added: "But, the first step was Tilly's, she was the one who unbuttoned my button."
While Tilly cried: "That's not true!"
Rylan exclaimed: "This is how rumours start, come on!"

And when judges voted to save Rhys Stephenson and Nancy Xu on Sunday, Tilly thanked everyone who'd been involved in her Strictly journey, including her "best friend" Nikita.
The 20-year-old said: "I’d just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has made this an amazing, positive journey for me.
“From everyone here to backstage, wardrobe, make up and camera crew. It’s just been the most extraordinary time.
“I found out something about myself that I didn’t know I could do, I didn’t know I could dance and have fun like this."
Praising Nikita, Tilly added: "I really meant it when I said I made a best friend for life. You’ve just been incredible."
