Mollie King and AJ Pritchard fuel romance rumours after being told they have ‘very believable chemistry’ on Strictly Come Dancing

MOLLIE King and AJ Pritchard were praised for their ‘very believable chemistry’ on tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing.

Rumours have been swirling that the couple are more than just dance partners for weeks now, and their connection was picked up on by head judge Shirley Ballas.

Having danced a romantic Viennese Waltz, where they had to give each other lots of loving looks and held each other in their arms, Shirley said: “I have to say you have very believable chemistry”.

Her comment made the pair give each other a little look and nervous giggle, and viewers couldn’t help but comment on the whole scenario.

Coronation Street’s Sally Ann Matthews wrote on Twitter: “Lots of ‘chemistry’ talk there. Are we to assume…? x” while another fan added: “A very beautiful dance Mollie n AJ, some chemistry as well”.

A third agreed, writing: “‘Very romantic with very believable chemistry’ aka ‘they’re getting it on'” while a fourth tweeted: “‘Very believable chemistry’ – ‘I think you two are dating'”.

The comments come after Mollie’s Saturday’s band mate Una Healy hinted there could be more to their relationship.

Una teased to Now Magazine: “I know her and AJ are friends, but I don’t know about the romance… you never know!”

Mollie and AJ were spotted laughing and enjoying each other’s company when at dinner recently.

The ex-member of girl band The Saturdays, 30,  looked very close to the baby-faced dance expert , 22, as they laughed together at the meal – and, unlike the other show couples, sat right beside each other.

Though Mollie has insisted she and AJ are “just friends”, their chemistry was undeniable at the dinner, which also saw Gemma Atkinson get very cosy with rumoured lover Gorka Marquez.

Mollie sparked rumours she and AJ were falling for one another after they watched the launch show together.
