STRICTLY Come Dancing contestant Jamie Borthwick called his partner Michelle Tsiakkas ‘my girl’.
The duo took to the dancefloor with a sizzling Argentine Tango after he previously admitted to having a ‘cosy night’ with his partner.
Fans have long noticed the chemistry between the pair as they speculated that something more might be bubbling under the surface.
On this week’s edition of the BBC One show the EastEnders actor made his way to the Claudatorium platform where he made an intriguing remark.
Jamie, 30, told host Claudia Winkleman: “I’ve had the best week.
“Yeah, exactly that, [it was] the dance I wanted to do, favourite song, went to West Ham.”
Looking down at his Strictly Come Dancing partner, he remarked: “Been with my girl,” before putting his left arm over her shoulder.
He pulled her into a warm and comforting embrace as she seemed to return the sweet and tactile gesture.
He added: “It’s just been the best week.”
Meanwhile, Michelle, 29, said in response: “It was just us two on that dance floor, and it was an indescribable feeling for me.
“I had such a good time and you should be so proud of yourself.”
Viewers flocked to social media as they also noticed the tactile movements after the ‘dark and moody’ routine.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan commented: “I know we all talk about Pete & Yovita’s chemistry but can we talk about Jamie & Michelle’s.”
Another exclaimed: “Dark & moody… as the Argentine Tango should be! Jamie & Michelle are getting my votes.”
“I really like the Jamie & Michelle pairing, they’re really cute together,” remarked a third user.
As a fourth viewer stated: “Jamie & Michelle have some serious chemistry omg.”
“Blimey. Jamie & Michelle were steamy,” added a fifth fan.
