AJ Pritchard says you never know what could happen with Lauren Steadman in the future.

The Strictly Come Dancing professional hinted at a romantic connection with the Paralympian when he gave an insight into what goes on between them off camera.

AJ, who will this week return to Blackpool for a second consecutive, was previously dogged by rumours of a relationship with partner Mollie King in 2017.

I am very protective of Lauren, he told The Mirror this week. Because we have worked so close together.

There are different things that she will talk about in training that she would never talk about on camera.

Lauren and AJ have successfully made it to Blackpool Week and will this week tackle an Argentine Tango to River by Bishop Briggs.

The pair have gone from strength to strength, last week securing their first nines last week, and their chemistry hasnt escaped the attention of viewers at home.

Lauren previously let slip that her nan Jackie – who suffers with dementia – is convinced that she and dance partner AJ are a couple.

Explaining her nans comments, Lauren said: She went: “I saw Lauren on TV and shes very much in love with that boy. Theyre in love – I know when people are in love.”

Its not the first time AJ has been romantically linked to a celebrity partner.

In 2017, The Saturdays Mollie finally denied that she was dating AJ during their time on the show.

But that hasnt halted speculation.

Only two weeks ago, AJ was awkwardly quizzed about ex-girlfriends on It Takes Two as Zoe Ball grabbed the bull by the horns and asked AJ if Mollie was ever a girlfriend?

Zoe also awkwardly asked Lauren whether shed talked to AJ about his exes.

The fight for the Glitterball trophy is set to kick off Saturday 22 September, with all the couples having been assigned last week.
