STRICTLY Come Dancing stars Adam Peaty and Katya Jones have sparked infamous show 'curse' rumours after their passionate performance.
Fans took to Twitter after they were convinced the duo almost 'kissed' during their show-stopping Argentine Tango.
It comes hours after Adam's girlfriend Eiri Munro flashed her toned tummy in a mirror selfie, captioning it "not worried".
Meanwhile Ugo Monye took a week out from the BBC dancing competition as Sara topped the leaderboard.

DRAMATIC
Well that's certainly one way to describe Adam's Tango, Tess.
Steamy… sensual… are other words she could have chosen.

SHARP STARTS
Loving the Men in Black theme.
How fierce is Katya looking too…

WHAT A PEATY
First Adam had to miss his son's first birthday because of Strictly rehearsals.
Now he'll no doubt have some explaining to do about that 'almosy kiss' with Katya last night.

CRUEL CRAIG
Loose Women star Judi Love and actor Greg Wise are in the bottom two this week, after failing to impress the judges.
However, fans were confused with the judges "inconsistent" scores which viewers claimed were "all over the place" -especially when Craig handed out a 4 to Judi after her emotional dance dedicated to her late parents.
One wrote: "The scoring has been shocking this week…AJ, John and Rose were all way too low. #Strictly"
Another posted: "Strictly scoring sounds like a right mess tonight. The judges scoring is ludicrous."
A third shared: "WTF? That was a harsh scoring for Judi. I thought it was a great and moving. #Strictly"
"Weird scoring tonight. Tilly overmarked, Rose seriously undermarked. Really inconsistent from all four judges in my opinion. #Strictly," a fourth commented.

STITCH UP
Strictly Come Dancing fans all have the same complaint after "unfair" scoring puts show favourite at risk.
BBC One viewers were baffled by tonight's "shocking" scores and flocked to Twitter to share their disbelief.
- Sarah Tetteh
KATYA DRAMA
Some fans have jumped to Katya's defence over the Adam 'near kiss' and said it was just 'theatrics.'
One wrote: "None of the strictly professionals does sensual and theatrical like Katya. She absolutely smoulders. That was stunning."
- Sarah Tetteh
FIX FURY
With Ugo out this week and Robert gone for good, it's little wonder fans think going ahead with an elimination this week is unfair.
Some have even said it's a fix and that Ugo was given a “free pass” to next week following his back injury.
The retired England rugby ace told fans he was “gutted” to be missing Saturday night’s show.
Let's hope he comes back stronger next week.
- Sarah Tetteh
OOH DID YOU HEAR?
STRICTLY Come Dancing is going to have 3 finalists instead of 4 this year.
Bosses are “unlikely” to take any “drastic action” after Robert Webb and Dianne Buswell’s shock exit, and will instead trim this year’s final down to three finalists instead of four.
Producers are adapting their plans after comic Robert was forced to quit the show due to “poor health” following a historic major heart operation.
And The Sun can reveal that there will be no major changes to the coming instalments of the show – and they won’t be replacing the departing couple.
- Sarah Tetteh
SPILL THE TEA
So fans have been desperate to know what is the deal between Adam and his dance partner Katya.
Now we are talking chemistry with a capital C.
Did you see how they 'almost kissed' last night, fans have said on Twitter?
It's all go.
- Sarah Tetteh
STRICTLY AXED
The nation's favourite dance show is back on tonight.
Someone's going home, which is dreadful, don't get me wrong.
But there's a burning question fans really want to know…

Dan's my man!
STRICTLY beauty Nadiya Bychkova has opened up about her close bond with dance-floor partner Dan Walker — after posing up a storm for us in pics from her 2022 calendar.
The professional dancer and model, 32, who was pictured with her arm around Dan last week, did not have a partner on last year’s series.
But she admits BBC Breakfast presenter Dan, 44, is “the right person” to waltz into her life this time around.
Asked in a joint interview last week if the pair had clicked, Dan said: “Sometimes the right person walks into your life at the right time.”
And Nadiya answered: “I think that was exactly what happened. Last year I didn’t have a partner but to have Daniel this year . . . I don’t think I can put it into words how amazing it is.
“If only I had known before, that I would get someone as amazing as he is . . . it’s just beautiful.”
David Mitchell WON’T replace Robert Webb
ROBERT Webb’s Peep Show co-star David Mitchell said he won’t “replace” him on Strictly despite a fan campaign to get him on the show.
After Robert announced the news, David shared his support on Twitter, writing: ” This is sad! They did some really brilliant dancing, I thought.
“Sorry there won’t be more. And to those asking if I’ll be stepping in to replace him: I’m afraid not.
“I prefer to dance like nobody’s watching. And I can only do that if nobody’s watching.”
Craig Revel Horwood ‘wants unvaccinated dancers banned’
STRICTLY judge Craig Revel Horwood wants to ban unvaccinated dancers from the UK tour, sources say.
Craig, the tour director since 2012, is said to be keen to replace them with other performers.
A source said: “Craig’s view is that there will always be a dancer to replace anyone who hasn’t been double-jabbed.
“He would like the tour policy to be, ‘No jab, no job.’
“But it remains to be seen if he can achieve that when it comes to bookings.
“Past tours have seen celebs with partners they were not with on the show so, in theory, dancers could be swapped out.”
The show must go on
STRICTLY Come Dancing have confirmed that they WILL eliminate another celebrity this weekend – despite Robert Webb’s shock exit.
Robert underwent major heart surgery in 2019, and was struggling with the gruelling training and energetic routines.
Despite the unexpected departure, Strictly bosses have confirmed to The Sun that another celeb will follow Robert out of the door this weekend.
Saturday’s live show will also go ahead as normal, with the pre-recorded results show to air on Sunday night.

Too soon?
Fans have found an interesting addition to next year’s Strictly line-up
Robert quits
Ex-Strictly star Robert Webb has opened up about his tough decision to quit the BBC dancing competition.
The comedian and his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell released a statement confirming their departure due to his ill-health.
Robert, 49, has since taken to social media to update fans on the difficult decision, insisting he “didn’t have a choice” but to step back from Strictly.
“Very sad to be leaving but didn’t really have a choice,” he wrote to his fans. “I’m going to be just fine once I’ve had a good rest.”
Thanking fans for their kind words, he concluded: “Very proud of these dances and will be forever in the debt of the luminous Dianne Buswell.”
Explained: Why Robert Webb left Strictly
The 49-year-old – best known for being one half of Mitchell and Webb – entertained fans with a quickstep dressed up as Kermit the Frog with his dance partner and Miss Piggy for the night, Diane Buswell.
But Webb was forced to quit Strictly Come Dancing on Wednesday, October 13 due to “ill health”.
In a statement, the comedian revealed that his health had taken a turn for the worse, as he continues to recover from a major operation in 2019.
He said: “I’m extremely sorry to have to announce that I’m withdrawing from Strictly Come Dancing due to ill health.
“Two years ago, I had open heart surgery and although I believed I was fit enough to take on Strictly and its demanding schedule, it became clear that I had bitten off way more than I could chew for this stage in my recovery.
“I had begun to feel symptoms that led me to seek an urgent consultation with my heart specialist, and it was her view that it would be better for the sake of my health to step back from the show.”
