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.
