Just mooching about on twitter and saw a link to an article saying Kara was on the brink of pulling out because Artem called an end to their fling....

I know they were being looked at as 'hot' and all the suggestions were that a fauxmance might follow, but I believed that she was just ill this week hence the no-shows at rehearsals and ITT...

Have I been in the dark? or naive? or does anyone know the 'truth' behind this??

It's all stirring up headlines to stir up votes IMO

This is the article: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view...ay-leave-show/

And so it begins...

I heard he had cooled it but the real reason for her problems this week was a nasty bout of tonsilitis.

Thanks for putting the link in, couldnt get it to work

All seems a bit HIGH DRAMA doesn't it!!

...But its true there was an 'it' for him to cool??

This is an actual interview with her: http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/...5875-22620313/

There is no relationship. The press are just making up gossip because they have no facts.

The article was from the Daily Star - if people believe stuff from that rag then i worry for them.

She missed rehearsal yesterday because she was ill & at the Doctors.

To me if this info is true it is a negative so why would it stir up votes? If anything it would cause them to lose votes.

Two conflicting articles cancel each other out. I guess that the media knows they will sell more papers with any Strictly related negative articles implying drama behind the scenes but I don't think it does the couples any good at all.

The Daily Star quotes "a source" I believe what Kara has actually said, as opposed to what the Star has blatantly made up.

Artem called an end to their fling. Given where he popped up on my facebook page this week attending a rather gay party with Robin, there is no way there is any fling going on!

Well, color me shocked.

I mean, he looks so hetero.

Hold on...

Not that Artem couldn't be on the downlow, but since he's been married before and had a long term relationship with Carrie Ann(one of the judges on Dancing With the Stars) I doubt he's gay.

Matthew Cutler was also married once though...

Doesn't everyone knows that being married then having long term girlfriends and dating women is the new gay.

I reckon he's more likely to be a ladies man. Not surprised he'd be at a gay party considering his housemate and good friend Robin is gay.

Ae we referring to Robin who is dancing with Patsy, I was hoping for a romance there .

That's my hunch from everything I have observed.

Mmm, is it usual for the enamoured to look like their partners are putting them in constant pain? She doesn't smile much in the training clips.

Your gaydar's not very good, is it?!

Robin does set my Gaydar off big time. I don't think Patsy really needs husband number 5 anyway.

You mean Artem is straight? You've got to be kidding me!

This might mean something; it might not.

Artem and Robin are sharing a flat for the duration of the show - mentioned on ITT earlier in the week.
