Well according to his tweets last night he was watching Carly play netball

I'd believe it - she fancies him like mad!!!

I've got to say I wouldn't be too happy if my OH was a celebrity on Strictly - it's pretty close contact for months on end. Awful for those who can't bear their partners!

It says that Ali & Brian and Joe & Kristina have already started relationships, have both of these actually been confirmed ?

Ali and Brian haven't confirmed - but they haven't denied either and theres plenty of evidence around to suggest they are.

Joe and Kristina have just been on holiday together and pictured snogging so thats confirmed i'd say although i don't think either have publicly admitted it.

I don't believe it for one minute. I think they are trying to gain some popularity.

There was a thread on here about her lack of warmth and popularity. People don't seem to be warming to her. I think this is an attempt to get the public on their side. More chance of Bruce having an affair with Alesha

It's not possible for Ricky to fancy anyone apart from himself.

He doesn't strike me as being all that arrogant, but he does seem to be self-absorbed (there is a difference!). I wish he would just dance and keep his private life to himself. I suppose the media doesn't help in that regard though.

Poor Ricky. I don't see him as arrogant or self absorbed. I noticed he was the only celeb with his hands over his head clapping and cheering for Ali when she got her 40 last week - and he was the one comforting and hugging Brian when he was upset about the DO.

I also loved the way the pros reacted to his QS. I'm sure we wouldn't have seen a reaction like that if he was full of himself.

They did deny it on Breakfast a couple of weeks back but plenty water under the bridge since then

im not sure there is anything between them, prob the media looking in to it tooo much

on twitter he left tweets saying:

Sat Watchin a ferocious carley stenson smash it at netball, girls got pace!!!!

Ain't bein funny, she's everywhere!!!

obsv things aren't that bad between them

probs just gossip

its up to them if they date

its there lives, let them live them

Matt di angelo is apparently still dating flavia

ppl shood just stop interfering and gossiping

Its against the rules of DS to write in text speak , just so you know .

well sorry
but im just proving my point
and also ali and brian and joe and kristina have been claimed to be dating
but does anyone believe that
reply

Yes I do believe Joe and Kristina .....they have confirmed it.

Matt di Angelo and Flavia ARE a couple and have been for the last 2 years.

why would txt speak for who be hoo when its the same number of letters ???

LOL LOL , I saw that too , or nuthing for nothing in fact .

I'm skeptical - sounds like a PR stunt to get noticed and talked about.

Really?

You missed the bit when Ricky called Natalie "the full package"? All the way through his fullsome praise for her I was thinking "say it a bit more like she's your dance teacher not your gf".

It's only been a matter of time before they got together, they're obviously really into each other.

Natalie's more sophisticated than his provincial Hollyoaks' (sp?) miss.

Not quite sure why this of all the couplings is being labelled a "showmance"? Why is it more of one than Ali & Brian, Joe & Kristina, Matt & Flavia?

Carly's a lovely lass though - I saw her take part on Celebrity Scissorhands a couple oif years ago when her and Ricky and just started going out.

They made a sweet couple

Natalie's a bit in your face for my liking. Can't seem to take to her at all.

Oh I like Natalie - she's a fantastic dancer & teacher - hard-working & real perfectionist. I think she & Katya are great additions to the show.

Carly appears sweet but limited. (Going on my very minimal aquaintance with her.)

To be fair, they haven't really done anything to fuel the rumours. It doesn't seem as though they are looking for publicity to me.

There are no photos of them walking arm in arm or huddled over coffee in a petrol station or kissing goodbye in an overly friendly manner etc. OK, he went for dinner with her folks, but it makes sense that they would probably like to meet their daughter's dance partner. He's split up with his girlfriend and the papers came to the conclusion that it must be due to Natalie, as there are loads of other romances on the show. Add to that a slushy VT about each other that all the couples do at some stage and you've got showmance rumours based on....erm...not very much!
