Strictly Come Dancing stars kicked off their eagerly anticipated tour last week looking to add their sequins and stunning steps to cities up and down the country over the next month.
The BBC show's LIVE tour wowed crowds at it's first shows in Birmingham this weekend with latest series winners Rose Ayling Ellis and Giovanni Pearnice joining a host of pros and celebs for the 33 date UK arena tour.
But besides the star studded line up, backstage was buzzing with Nadiya Bychkova's flirty behaviour and as we lift the lid on the stars antics since hitting the road.
Romance rumours rife
While theirs no update on any other couple's to succumb to the dreaded Strictly curse - Nadiya Bychkova's suggested flirty behaviour is a source of much speculation.
The professional dancer, 32, is growing close to new partner Kai Widdrington, claims The Sun, with their behaviour 'raising eyebrows' behind-the-scenes.
Nadiya has split from her fiancé Matija Škarabot, and has been seen without her engagement ring on in recent days.
But of course Kai's 2021 show partner AJ was forced to pull out of the tour due to an ankle injury - despite rumours the pair had grown close - which the pair failed to comment on.
A source told the publication: 'AJ and Kai got really close during the show and their chemistry was electric.
She's obviously gutted not to be on the tour while her ankle heals and she is shocked that Kai has already seemingly moved on by comforting Nadiya.
"Nadiya is incredibly flirty and it has certainly raised eyebrows."
Dance fl oor drama
The stars have been busy rehearsing their routines but the constant pressure doesn't come without it's dance floor drama.
Tilly Ramsay told followers she tripped and fell during a performance in the Strictly Come Dancing live tour.
The 20-year-old daughter of Gordon Ramsay took to Instagram to share her bruises and scrapes after the fall.
But the true pro painted on a smile as she shared her painful looking knee.
Captioning the sore snap, she explained: 'Last night's war wounds'.
She wasn't the only one to take a tumble, as Rose Ayling-Ellis also shared a video to her own Instagram Story of her losing her footing on the stairs on stage.
Sending a message of support, Rose wrote: 'Don't worry @tillyramsay we are in it together'.
Tilly reposted the clip with the caption: 'Nice to know it's not just me,' followed by a laughing emoji.
Bottoms up
After saying farewell to Birmingham's arena, Amy Dowden shared a shot telling fans on Insta: "Can you tell how much fun we are having? Can’t believe it’s already our last show in Birmingham! As always what brilliant audiences!
And her pro dancer pal Jeanette Manrara also lifted the lid on tour life showing some of the girl's letting their hair down as the stars were seen sitting at a table and appeared to be in good spirits.
Holding up a card game, aptly named 'This card game will get you drunk' to the Insta feed Sara Davies, quipped: "They are very good, they are very accurate, it does what it says on the tin.
Meanwhile Jeanette told fans: "So, officially on the bus, on the way to Leeds.
She added: Basically, amazing shows in Birmingham are over, now we get a day off, a little bit of rest and it that is it all day."
Sleeping beauties
And with all their travelling and performing the stars have already been spotted catching 40 winks passed out on the sofa in between shows.
Sharing shots of a snoozing Maisie, Tilly and Rose to Insta the beauties shared a sofa and snuggled up in matching red robes and blue blankets.
The post shared to Insta was captioned: "Meanwhile..Not tired at all." With a laughing emoji.
*The Strictly Tour continues tonight in Leeds before a waltz around the country performing shows in some of the UK’s biggest arenas.
