Kelvin Fletcher says he and Oti Mabuse are "like brother and sister" following romance rumours.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star and his pro partner – who is married to fellow dancer Marius Impure – has dismissed speculation about his relationship after he skipped his fourth wedding anniversary with wife Liz Marsland to attend rehearsals for the BBC Latin and ballroom competition.
Kelvin, 35, played down rumours as he told the Daily Star newspaper: "We’ve got a great friendship, sometimes like brother and sister."
The pair’s late night rehearsals for Saturday’s (30.11.19) quarter-final paid off as they scored a near-perfect 39 for their Beauty and the Beast-themed routine.
However, it was children’s TV presenter Karim Zeroual and partner Amy Dowden who received the first perfect 40 of the current series, while former footballer Alex Scott was eliminated from the competition after losing in the dreaded dance off to comedian Chris Ramsay.
Despite her disappointment, Alex insisted she loved her ‘Strictly’ experience.
She shared: "I’ve been a fan of ‘Strictly’ forever so to even be here and dance here every week…
"I’ve loved every moment and I have to thank everyone, and everyone behind the scenes to make this show work."
Meanwhile, professional dancer Anton du Beke who keeping his eyes on the prize as he makes it through to the semi-finals with his celebrity dance partner, Emma Barton.
Anton tweeted: "SEMIFINALS here we come!! Huge congratulations to my incredible partner @EmmaBarton for such an amazing performance… and huge thanks to everyone who voted for us! That Glitterball’s another week closer, my loves – just phenomenal!! (sic)"
