Strictly Come Dancing fans are loving Lauren Steadman and AJ Pritchard on the BBC talent show.
The pair have bonded well and appear to be performing well with each other.
Last weekend, Lauren and AJ got their highest score yet, bagging 34 for their Viennese Waltz.
They got very good criticism for their stunning routine, with Craig Revel Horwood saying it was the first time Lauren really “danced”.
The pair appeared on It Takes Two this evening to tell Zoe Ball how training is coming along.
But while they were there, Lauren dropped a big bombshell on Zoe and AJ.
The presenter asked whether she prefers athletics or dancing, to which Lauren said the latter.
“It might have overtaken…” she whispered as her professional partner erupted.
AJ exclaimed: “So great to hear that!”
Lauren went on: “The love for dance whereas now it’s like, ‘shall we try it like this?’
So great to hear that!
The pair will be performing an Argentine Tango in the coming weekend at Blackpool.
Their dramatic routine will be accompanied by River by Bishop Briggs.
Lauren gave an update on how rehearsals is going, telling Zoe she is already enjoying herself.
She said: “It’s intense and my brain feels a little bit like mashed potato.
“But I love the power and the intensity,” Lauren praised.

AJ went on to explain how there will be an added element of danger to the performance this weekend.
The couple are allowed to use lifts more so than usual, something the professional will revel in.
“The lifts are going to be something,” he teased.
AJ added: “I do go crazy when they say I can do lifts!”
Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday night on BBC One at 6.45pm.
