Has Una spilled the beans on Mollie and dancer AJ?

THEIR steamy salsa last weekend showed that there is some sizzling chemistry between Saturdays singer Mollie King, 30, and her Strictly Come Dancing professional partner AJ Pritchard, 22. Now Mollie’s Irish bandmate Una Healy has added fuel to rumours the pair are dating by admitting she’s not sure of their romantic status.

Speaking to Now magazine about a possible romance between the pair, the Tipperary star said: ‘I know her and AJ are friends, but I don’t know about the romance... you never know!’

Una, 36, was also quick to praise her friend’s performance on the show as she added: ‘Mollie’s doing so brilliantly, I’m so proud of her. She deserves to be in the final – she’s up there with the best of them. She’s loving it.’

Hitting back at those who believe pop stars have an advantage over their Strictly opponents due to their dance experience, Una reasoned: ‘People assume that because she’s come from a performing background she would find it easier, but she’s learning all the time.’

Last weekend, Mollie and AJ, pictured, blew the Strictly judges away with their sizzling salsa, and despite Mollie’s admission that she found it ‘embarrassing being sexy’, the pair scored a respectable 27 points.

Whilst the pair may have been all over each other on the dancefloor, Mollie recently dismissed romance claims, saying that even though he was ‘a beautiful boy’, there was no truth in it.

‘I think there’s always some kind of romance rumour,’ she told The Huffington Post. ‘So it didn’t surprise me. But I hardly even know him well so far so there’s no truth in that. He’s such a sweetheart. And obviously he is a beautiful boy so I’m very lucky.’
