Strictly Come Dancing competitor Joe Calzaghe is said to have fallen head over heels for his professional partner Kristina Rihanoff. However, true love never runs smoothly and the BBC are said to have banned the pair from dating until the series is over.

This hasn’t stopped the pair from getting close and a pal of Kristina told The Mirror:

“The chemistry is extraordinary between the two of them. It’s totally electric. It’s all Joe can do to somehow keep himself in check.

“He has a constant urge to carry her off to bed –but the BBC have asked her to keep it platonic while the show is on. He’s telling everyone that she’s a top girl who is absolutely irresistible.”
