Things always hot up OFF the dancefloor on Strictly, and if Ali and Brian are anything to go by this year's no exception!

We reckon former Oaks star Ali Bastian and her Strictly Come Dancing partner Brian aren't Strictly good mates.

Ali gushed this in a recent interview:

"Brian’s the most generous and thoughtful person I’ve met. He has the patience of a saint and is a real gentleman. Sometimes you meet people in life you just instantly get along with."

"We have the same bizarre sense of humour. He cracks me up all day long. My mum was watching our Strictly video the other day and said she noticed we were both quirky in similar ways."

Er..hello?! Even her mum thinks they're made for each other!

And if the pics of them going for romantic strolls and attending the Inside Soap Awards are anything to go by - this could be the first 'official' Strictly romance.

What do you think of Ali and Bri? Or, er, AlBri?
