‘They’re gonna get married!’ say Strictly fans as Jamie Borthwick admits to ‘cosy night’ with partner Michelle Tsiakkas
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans think that a ‘marriage’ might potentially soon be on the cards.
EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick was given the good news that he would be dancing for another week in the BBC competition.
However, when reflecting on the results in the sofa area with Claudia Winkleman, he appeared to make a surprise confession.
The Traitors host asked him about his impressions of the star judges after Shirley Ballas and Craig Revel Horwood got in a row.
He tried to tell the story about how his comic impersonation came about, saying that it was while he had a ‘cosy’ night with his partner Michelle Tsiakkas.
“We had a delirious night the other night when we were just laying there,” he explained on Strictly Come Dancing.
Eyebrows all around the studio were raised as he then appeared to stumble as he tried to further give an explanation to his comments.
This was as a confused looking Claudia seemed to be completely surprised and taken aback.
Jamie continued: “On the rehearsal floor.”
More gasps could be heard from the audience as they reacted with a mixture of both suspicion and encouragement.
Comments such as “oh was that it?” and “spill the beans,” appeared to be uttered by their surrounding fellow co-stars.
The Traitors presenter clearly wanted to know more as she exclaimed: “Week three Jamie! Delirious night, snuggled up, please continue.”
He replied back: “So we were getting cosy in a snuggle, anyways, she said some of the rumba comments.
“She was like, there were some cucarachas with the two flat feet and roll your hips in a figure eight. I saw that!”
“And that pleased me to no end,” he cheekily said before turning to Claudia, adding: “It was one where you needed to be there.”
Some viewers immediately got excited as they took to X – formerly known as Twitter.
Strictly Curse - The Lowdown
STRICTLY Come Dancing's latest series has already been hit by rumours of a BBC show 'curse' - yet what is it?
A host of Strictly Come Dancing stars have been struck by the Strictly Curse during the past two decades.
This is where celebrities who may or may not be attached in the outside world become more than friends with their professional partners.
A total of 20 relationships are said to have been impacted so far over the show’s 20 years.
It has seen relationships crumble with dance floor romances and punishing rehearsal schedules to blame.
This includes the partnerships of Louise and Jamie Redknapp as well as Kevin Clifton and Karen Hauer.
Controversially, Judge Craig Revel Horwood once said of the curse: “I think of it as a blessing, to be honest. One person is married, the other one had a girlfriend but my point in this entire thing is: if you come on Strictly, sometimes you are in a relationship that is not working anyway.
“There has to be something wrong in your relationship before it all goes awry.”
Series one winner Brendan Cole left his fiancé, fellow Strictly professional Camilla Dallerup, during filming for the very first series in spring 2004.
Brendan was said to have fallen for his celebrity partner and inaugural winner Natasha Kaplinsky, although the duo didn’t confirm they were romantically involved.
One fan posted: “I predict Jamie and Michelle get married.”
But they may be disappointed as Michelle is happily in a relationship with another dancer, Simone Arena.
Jamie also previously admitted that he has no intention of pursuing anything romantic as he denied the rumours.
He explained to The Mirror: “The idea of that whole Strictly curse, well it’s definitely not going to be a thing here because it would be weird doing that with my sister.
“Michelle and I met before Strictly and we instantly had a connection. But she is like a sister, an aunt, a mum, a best friend. She’s looking after me, she’s mothering me.”
Strictly Come Dancing is available to watch on BBC One and stream on BBC iPlayer.
