Just The Two Of Us star Sarah Brightman has fallen for her show partner Mark Butcher.

The singer has teamed up with cricketer Mark for the BBC duets show and friends claim that she is enjoying every minute of her rehearsals with him.

A source told The People: "Sarah had a crush on Mark from day one. The first thing she said about him was 'Wow, he's luscious'. There's been a lot of holding hands and back touching.

"When they're alone together rehearsing, she's in her element."

Takin up Cricket Senor?

I used to play in my younger days!!!

I have commented on this in another thread. She could have kept quiet. Karen never said a word about falling for Mark R espite the touching and dancing for 3 months. Poor Mark and Mrs B.

Can't believe Mark B was knocked out! Don't blame Sarah B, even though she is verrrrrrrrrrrrrry scarrrrrrrrrry! On another note - very yummy to see Michael Vaughan interviews today - welcome back Vaughany - we missed you - in more ways than one!

He's married?? I didn't watch the show but heard that they may like each other. Where Karen and Mark R are concerned, you only had to look at her gazing at him to know that she fancied him, even if it was just a tiny bit.

Mark has a grilfriend she was on the show a few nights ago

Read Sarah described as a "predatory soprano"

That sounds right, lol with all that hair I'd imagine she could use it as a lasso to trap Mark B!

Palmtree, was that the girl sitting next to Dennis Waterman one night? Vernon said something about her being someone's girlfriend but I didn't quite catch it. Thought it must be Dennis Waterman's girlfriend and was surprised a) that Vernon should ask such a question, and b) to find out that Dennis wasn't happily married to Hannah's mum, which I always thought was the case. Certainly the girl looked slighly surprised and embarrassed to be asked.

I think Karen's just very proud of her able student Mark R. So it's some sort of admiration, perhaps,when she looks at him but I doubt she fancies Mark, JMHO.

Okay, but during the making of Downtown video, Karen seemed rather pervy when she saw the topless Mark bending right before her eyes. I guess in such a situation, if I were a woman like Karen, I probably would not be able to resist by looking away...

She may well fancy him nothing wrong with that - doesn't mean they will leave their respective partners and run off together!

Where is the video clip for Downtown - the making of rather than the final product (if it exists).
