The thoroughly modern love story saw Blue singer Lee post a snap with Sammi on his Instagram page, alongside a heart symbol. She had earlier responded to pictures published showing Lee and Nadiya looking cosy with the remark: “I’ve got a thing for genuine people.” Nadiya – who has a Slovenian footballer boyfriend Matija Skarabot – and Lee were pictured holding hands while out in London’s Primrose Hill. Lee, 35, was also spotted nuzzling her cheek and putting his arm around her. It was just a week after they began rehearsals, leading to claims that the Strictly curse had struck again. But Lee hit back with a photograph of himself out shopping with Samantha, which he captioned: “@misssamanthajeny If you can’t laugh, you’ll cry.” Personal trainer Samantha liked the post, while Lee answered, “No, babe” to a fan who asked if he and Nadiya were dating. Sources on Strictly claimed Lee was “besotted” with the Ukrainian professional dancer, who was called a “maneater” on the Slovenian version of the show.
