The former grid girl, 28, and Curtis, 23, – whose brother AJ is a professional dancer on the show – looked happy and relaxed as they cosied up for the camera.

Maura, who simply tagged the image “@bbcstrictly” looked fab-u-lous in a suitably glistening thigh-high dress, while Curtis looked dapper in a traditional black suit and open-collared white shirt.

He had earlier offered support to his brother in his own Instagram stories, saying: “AJ, I’m on my way, I can’t wait to see you dance.

“My eyes are on you boy so you best be dancing good.

“Best of luck with whichever partner you’re about to get. I’m sending all my love, sending all my vibes, sending all my energy big man, you got this.”
