Tess Daly has claimed that more than one couple are getting it on, backstage on Strictly.

Writing in her column for The Mirror, Daly commented: “There’s love in the air backstage with more than one romance in the making. Mum’s the word, but keep tuned. Not surprising when you consider the physical proximity of dancing and the time spent locked in sweaty training rooms.”

She added: “It’s great to see some of our Strictly relationships last. Actor Matt Di Angelo and Flavia [Cacace] are still going strong. And another Strictly relationship – they met at the show – singing star Katherine Jenkins and presenter Gethin Jones are very happy together.

“So I live in hope of Strictly wedding bells, after all the dancing and the dresses are bound to be fabulous.”
