It's clear that they're kissing eachother on the cheek, which all the couples do. No big deal. Plus doesn't Ali have a boyfriend ?

That said, I get the impression Brian has feelings for her.

Ali split from her boyfriend before the show started.

I think they both have feelings for each other. Very sweet. I;d love them to win.

Is Ali dragging this out to get multiple magazine articles during the series.

Very clever....slowly does it

Looking good, but yea, concentrate on the dancing first girl

I think you might be right. Even if they are together why give up all the goodies in one go.

Becoming a reality show couple could really put me off this pair which is a shame as I was just beginning to warm to them this weekend.

I doubt it`s a Big Brother style showmance.You have to meet your future spouse somewhere....be it in the office or on the set of Strictly.......Who knows if the rumours are true....All I can say is;The best of luck to both of them if they are dating.

I agree. Neither of them seem (at least on TV) particularly fake, and if the Metro article is anything to go by, it really shows how sensible a person Ali is. I think it would be beautiful if they did get together eventually (if not already). Body language doesn't lie, they're clearly very fond of each other.

They seem very fond of each other. If they are together I think its sensible of Ali to drip feed out news. Why not make some money over the next couple of months. Good luck to her and Brian.

How romantic!

This is what makes some of us cynical.

I see things the opposite way. If they are drip feeding information its probably because its private and very early days for them (as dance partners never mind anything else) and they don't really want to talk about it (as evidenced by their embarrassment when it has been mentioned)

Yet at the same time they are being asked about it by probably everyone so feel they have to give a little away to get people off their back.

Plus i imagine if they are falling for one another its like that joyous bubbling up that means you want to talk about the person you're falling for but knowing that in their circumstances it may not be advisable to give too much away.

Maybe i'm just soppy and naive but i honestly don't see anything contrived about it.

I like your take on it

It was the comment about 'making money' out of the relationship that turned me off.

If they are holding back for the reasons you outlined, then that's cool and I wish them happiness

It was worse than that she actually said "are you going to keep seeing each other?" - they both looked pretty embrassed and then he said "we'll see". I think the only couple past, present or rumoured not dropped in it last night were Joe and Kristina.

Bruce's chat about secret affairs before Flavia and Craig's dance made me really cringe!

It's almost as though everything has been so open with Joe and Kristina that it's not worth saying anything! A lot of the curiosity has been removed as it seems something is obviously going on. In a way I find it quite refreshing that they're not bothered too much about covering it up, but then they haven't had much choice with paparrazi camping outside her flat and trailing them around London.

I hope that it works out for the couples that emerge on the show - they're all single so why not! Ali and Brian are very sweet. I don't buy into the "only doing it for PR" angle for the Strictly 'romances' - for many reasons. It's usually either genuine or the newspapers making stories out of nothing for their own devices.

The Champ and the Vamp ...............

You've articulated all my thoughts exactly! I really do think they are growing to like/love each other more professionally and personally, and it can't be easy having people trying to butt their noses into such an early relationship. I'd hate for the media pressure to ruin a relationship which I think is blossoming beautifullly.

Hi Sid

I don't think they're making money out of their relationship. If they wanted to they could be selling stories left right and center with all the interest in SCD thats around. Neither seem the type to me tbh.

I see two people who are almost giddy with happiness and trying hard to reign it in. Just seeing their embarrassed reactions and Ali giggling while Brian tries so hard to be serious and then lights up whenever he looks at her brings a glow to my love weary heart

Hear Hear. They remind me of how I felt when I first started going out with my then-boyfriend (now husband)

Beautifully put.

I'll third that- there was a clip on ITT where they were nudging each other off a seat and I thought 'I recognise that game', all giggles and lingering looks and excuses to touch one another. I'd say it was sweet if my heart wasn't made of coal

The new hairstyle didn't stick around for very long though, did it?

Maybe they're the new Pete and Katie??
God help us all!!!!!!

They looked like they were trying to play it cooler on tonight's show but Ali kept looking at Brian for confirmation/approval for everything she said.

I don't think you need worry - Ali has more class in her little toe nail than Jordan lol
