Strictly's Tilly Ramsay departs It Takes Two filming alongside partner Nikita ...

Tilly Ramsey looked in good spirits as she departed Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two filming alongside her dance partner Nikita Kuzmin on Monday.

The pair departed the BBC studios in a car together after they topped the leaderboard on Saturday's show with a score of 34.

With rumours rife that the Strictly 'curse' could strike again, Tilly, 19, recently insisted she is on the show to focus on dancing.

Speaking to new! magazine, she said: 'Yes, I am single but I'm here to focus on dancing. 

'I'd have been crazy to say no to Strictly Come Dancing. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and most importantly I really want to learn to dance.'

Nikita, 23, is in a relationship with girlfriend of five years Nicole Wirt who recently liked a post about Tilly's training with Nikita before changing her mind and removing it, according to The Mirror.

Nicole, who is also a dancer and is currently based in Germany, was said to have taken to Instagram and shared a cryptic post of a split screen image with a single person on one side and the caption: 'The Support'.

Alongside this was a photo of a large crowd which she captioned: 'The congratulations'.

Nicole was then said to have written 'Don't be fooled' over the photos along with an emoji of a person with their finger over their mouth.

She also shared a photo of Tilly and Nikita's waltz from week one and wrote: 'Cheering on my faves' and said their performance was 'mesmerizing'.

It comes after Craig Revel Horwood predicted Tilly might 'fall in love' with Nikita during their time together on the show.
