The Strictly Come Dancing pair are preparing for the final two shows on the 2019 live tour this weekend. Having previously sparked speculation they could be more than friends, AJ Pritchard, 24, and Lauren Steadman, 26, were once again caught up in a romantic moment at a recent show after they performed their sweet and intimate Viennese Waltz for the judges and live audience. Following the routine, Darcey Bussell, 49, complimented the Paralympian on how far she has come since she first started training for Strictly last year. The former Prima Ballerina also said the dance had “plenty of romance”.
According to The Sun, Lauren and AJ “squirmed” at the judge’s comment, with tour host Ore Oduba, 33, then quipping that Darcey was “reading between the dance lines”.
The audience reportedly wolf whistled and cheered while the duo blushed.
Express.co.uk has contacted representatives for AJ and Lauren asking for comment on their relationship.
The British-born dancer previously told The Mirror he and Lauren had “grown close” and hinted at the possibility of them becoming more than friends in the future.
“I am very protective of Lauren because we have worked so close together,” he told the publication.
“There are different things that she will talk about in training that she would never talk about on camera.
