So long CK and Flavia
Strictly Come Dancing has its third romance this series – between Hollyoaks actor Ricky Whittle and Natalie Lowe.
Show insiders say Ricky and dance partner Natalie first fell for each other several weeks ago.
And on Sunday they were spotted taking Nat’s parents for a meal in Liverpool, where Ricky films Hollyoaks.
Natalie and Ricky left separately in an effort to throw photographers off the scent.
But one onlooker said: “They looked very cosy and it certainly seemed as though Natalie's mum and dad took to Ricky.”
Ricky and Natalie follow in the footsteps of contestants Joe Calzaghe, who is dating Kristina Rihanoff, and Ali Bastian, who has fallen for Brian Fortuna.
It was revealed last week Ricky, 27, had split from girlfriend of two years and fellow Hollyoaks star Carley Stenson.
But he did not look like a man nursing a broken heart during the weekend’s Blackpool special.
While talking of scoring three 10s the previous week he said: “The best part of the night was seeing how happy Natalie was.”
And during training this week he told how dancing with Natalie was a real thrill.
He said: “I'm loving the tango, it’s so sexy and passionate. This is just so hot, it’s unbelievable.”
A BBC spokeswoman refused to comment on the romance but added: “There is clearly a great deal of chemistry between them.”

Brucie is sick wont be presenting this week so who will be partnering with Tess? Vernon maybe?
Bruce Forsyth has been forced to pull out of tomorrow night's episode of Strictly Come Dancing because he has been struck down with flu.
The 81-year-old presenter is to take a week off from the BBC One ballroom show after receiving medical advice, it has been confirmed.
Forsyth's co-host Tess Daly will take over his usual role of introducing the dances and judges' comments in Saturday's instalment, BBC News reports.
A spokesman said: "Unfortunately, due to a bout of the flu and on doctor's orders, Bruce will be unable to host Strictly Come Dancing this Saturday. However, Tess Daly will be stepping into his presenting shoes."
No announcement has been made on whether a replacement will be recruited to perform Daly's backstage presenting duties. She usually interviews each couple after they leave the dancefloor.
Bruce Forsyth has pulled out of Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing "on doctor's orders" because he has flu, the BBC has announced.
Co-presenter Tess Daly will be taking on the 81-year-old's hosting role while her backstage duties will be handled by Claudia Winkleman.
Winkleman presents spin-off show It Takes Two on BBC Two.
It is the first time Forsyth has missed a show since Strictly Come Dancing began on BBC One in 2004.
Poor Brucie I hope he's better soon.
STRICTLY will air a tribute to Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze tonight.
The actor, 57, died from pancreatic cancer in September.
Dancers Brian Fortuna and Kristina Rihanoff will perform a routine for the film's hit song She's Like The Wind.
A Strictly insider said: "Kristina is a big fan of Patrick and asked the show if she could do a tribute."
REJECT Jo Wood and her Strictly dance partner Brendan Cole enjoyed a boogie at Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding's new bar Kanaloa in London.
They then slurped up a huge cocktail - intended for eight people.
