Every year on Strictly Come Dancing, rumoured flings and confirmed couples are a given.

Look, everyone's probably shifting everyone, tbf. 

This year, there have been whispers about Ashley and Giovanni as well as Joe and Dianne (although the latter are deffo dating.)

However, the latest possible romance revelation is one that has taken us by surprise.

Pro dancer AJ Pritchard has hinted at a future romantic relationship with his dance partner, Paralympian Lauren Steadman.

OMG.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We’ve made it to Blackpool !!! – 282 Miles in ONLY 72hrs…

A post shared by A J P R I T C H A R D . (@aj11ace) on

The 24-year-old spoke out about their partnership and it seemed that he might see a future with Lauren.

He said, "I am very protective of Lauren because we have worked so close together. There are different things that she will talk about in training that she would never talk about on camera.''

He continued, "It’s for that reason that we have grown so close together and we will be friends for life and who knows in the future….You never know what is going to happen."

Hmm, sounds like he fancies her to us. 

He also discussed that Lauren had been struggling with her confidence for the first few weeks of the show, and was self-conscious about her arm.

A post shared by BBC Strictly (@bbcstrictly) on

He is delighted with the positive response that the have received from the public, as the pair have become firm fan favourites. 

He said, "The amount of messages we get sent in by young kids who are born with one arm and they say, ‘Seeing you on TV makes it more normal for us to have an arm like this’. It’s so inspirational and it’s what she wanted from week one and she is achieving it.'' 

Fans picked up on the growing chemistry between the pair as the weeks have gone on. 

People took to Twitter to say how much they wanted them to start dating.

One wrote, ''Anybody else thought Lauren and AJ were about to snog at the end of that waltz?! #strictly.''

Another said, ''I think he has a crush…''

“All that is known at the moment is that Gio has already tried on some wedding dresses.”

The happy couple currently reside in Italy and share a one-year-old daughter.

Their marriage would also make her stepmum to the footballer’s other three children, who she already looks after at home.

Rap R&B sensation the Weeknd is apparently being sued for trademark infringement over his alter ego 'Starboy' by a comic book writer who claims to have created the character back in 2014.

TMZ and The Blast are reporting that writer Eymun Talasazan came up with the concept for a series of comic books focusing on superhero rap and R&B artists, and that he was in touch with representatives of the Weeknd regarding a possible collaboration.

This alleged collaboration never actually took place, after nothing came of the 2017 talks, but the Starboy character was then used for the Weeknd's infamous album last year.

The singer, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, has yet to comment on the issue.

The Marvel graphic novel The Weeknd Presents: Starboy is "near identical" to Eymun Talasazan's idea which he supposedly pitched to the Weeknd's representatives, according to reports.

Talasazan claims to have been creating a whole world surrounding the Starboy comic persona in 2015, dedicated to R&B superheroes.

TMZ recently wrote that Daft Punk and the Weeknd have already faced a €5 million lawsuit over reports of plagiarism on the track 'Starboy' by a songwriter named Yasminah.

She claims her song 'Hooyo', released back in 2009, shares some of the same elements as Daft Punk's offering.

It seems the song, which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, is causing plenty of scandal as well as success.

28-year-old Tesfaye, who is currently dating supermodel Bella Hadid, has just moved in with his Victoria's Secret sweetheart.

The duo seem loved up, despite splitting up back in 2015, and we can't see this controversy getting in the way of their romance.

What do you think, is Starboy an original the Weeknd character? The drama continues…

What a difference a year makes… First photo was indeed a year ago today, on the first night after my hysterectomy for severe endometriosis. I was smiling but my eyes say it all: full of anxiety and grief that I couldn’t locate through the layers of pain meds and benzos. Severe undiagnosed PTSD, feelings that my worth and purpose were being taken from me, angry and self-pitying with no sense of how I’d emerge. Plus, my hair had fallen out in odd clumps and I’d taken it upon myself to dye what remained electric blue cuz if you’re gonna spiral why not SPIRAL (shout out to @joanaavillez for being a true friend and bringing Manic Panic when I demanded it at night in the hospital, though. I love you Jo.) The second pic was taken tonight, happy joyous and (substance) free. The last year hasn’t been all roses and Kenny G songs, but it’s been proof enough for me in the presence of the divine. The divine- it’s been there in the kindness of my family, friends, chronically ill folks online. It’s also been there in the moments where I cried myself to sleep, shocked by the sounds coming out of me. It’s in the light slanting on my comforter, the resilience of my best friend’s baby clonking her head then giggling, the new hairs sprouting at my temples. Mostly I’ve found it in my own strength, because who the fuck knew. And I don’t mean strength as in powering through. I mean strength as in vulnerability, feeling it all, taking it as it comes and dancing even with a hospital grade pad in my underwear. I surprised myself. I bet you can surprise yourself too.

A post shared by Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) on

The 32-year-old had been battling endometriosis for more than a decade hen she made the heart-wrenching decision to have her uterus removed at the age of 31.

She penned an essay for Vogue explaining why, and also acknowledging that she did always wnt to have children, but knew there was something wrong.

She writes, ''I check myself into the hospital and announce I am not leaving until they stop this pain or take my uterus. Sometimes it takes a while for the reality of infertility to set in, the rage.'' 

However she is celebrating how much stronger she is one year on from surgery.

She writes that, ''I’ve found it in my own strength, because who knew. And I don’t mean strength as in powering through. I mean strength as in vulnerability, feeling it all, taking it as it comes and dancing even with a hospital grade pad in my underwear.''

''I surprised myself. I bet you can surprise yourself too.''

Her fans were full of support for her, writing, ''Your vulnerability is inspiring. We love you.''

Another said, ''You wear your soul in the words written. I so admire you.''

Keep doing what you're doing Lena – you are a true inspiration to so many women everywhere.

One of our favourite parts of Christmas is the unveiling of the holiday John Lewis ad.

And this year’s iconic advert is simply magical.

Opening with the legendary Elton John playing the piano, his tune Your Song becomes his life soundtrack.

We watch him become younger and younger, from modern times to his dynamic youth.

Before he was the Elton John, he was just a teenager with a passion for music and for pushing melodic boundaries.

His life through the ages consisted of playing in the school recital, on the stage, and eventually, in the recording studio.

The advert ends with him as a young boy waking up on Christmas morning. He runs into the sitting room to find his mum and grandma beside the Christmas tree.

He spots a massive present wrapped up just for him and eagerly rips off the paper – it is his first piano.

He strikes a key and is transformed to the musical talent we know and love – an older Elton John.

The music fades out to a single crescendo and he eventually closes the piano.

Across the screen are the words: “Some gifts are more than just a gift”.

John Lewis has done it again, showing the powerful impact that some gifts can have on children’s lives.

What do you think? Do you like this year’s ad?

Dating in your twenties is a dangerous game. Whether you're looking for a passionate fling, or something a little more serious, chances are you're going to get hurt pretty bad at some point.

Well, a new study has revealed why twenty-somethings struggle when it comes to staying faithful to their partners, and the answer is so cliché it almost hurts – we're just trying to find ourselves.

Yep. Turns out we're as predictable as the plot twist in a Hugh Grant film, and we hate being tied down at that pivotal point in our lives.

The study, published this week in the Journal of Sex Research, surveyed 104 adults with an average age of 22, who all admitted to cheating in the last six months.

To make them feel a little better about themselves and encourage total honesty throughout the survey, participants were given a paragraph to read about how common cheating is.

They were then questioned about their current and past relationships, had their attachment to their current partners analysed and were asked to explain the ins and outs of how they cheated.

Interestingly, most participants did not try to make excuses for being unfaithful, but rather explained that they did it for reasons related to independence and interdependence.

Most felt as though their relationship was holding them back from new experiences and stopped them from reaching their full potential as an adult.

When it came to issues related to interdependence, many participants said their current partner was not fulfilling their need for intimacy, they felt lonely, or they didn't have enough in common.

The study's authors said: "Because emerging adulthood is thought to be a time of exploration and experimentation, it is possible that engaging in infidelity is a path through which individuals seek to meet their developmental needs for independence and interdependence and promote their individual development." 

Basically twenty-somethings cheat because they have no idea who they are or what they want, apparently.

Others reasons cited by participants included boredom and excitement as well as being under the influence of alcohol – *eye-roll*

So, go out and find yourself, but just try not to hurt anyone during the process.

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have been closer than ever since they’re time on The Voice together.

And it seems that they are ready to take their relationship to the next level.

A source told US Weekly that the couple are having a baby through a surrogate.

“They are in the final stages of choosing the woman who will carry their baby,” the insider said.

“It’s extremely important to Gwen that she give Blake a biological child, and Blake is so excited.”

The source went on to say that the two have been thinking about taking this step for a while now and they are “determined to have a child together”.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Gwen Stefani (@gwenstefani) on

Gwen and Blake have been dating for three years, and while Gwen shares three children with her ex-husband, Blake has yet to become a father.

He told The Today Show earlier this year that he felt as if he “missed out” by not having kids.

The country star has, however, grown very close with Gwen’s boys- Kingston (12), Zuma (10) and four-year-old Apollo.

“Having them around…I don't even know how to describe it. It's so much fun,” he said.

We hope they find the right surrogate for them and can't wait to meet their little one. He or she would be a musical legend!
