Strictly's Bruno: I could feel fireworks in Mollie and AJ's dance
Just days after their co-stars urged them to kiss live on the BBC show, the host asked the pair: “Did you actually just kiss on the lips? I missed that."
Moments after their emotional, Grease-themed Rumba and what looked like a smooch, the 48-year-old appeared totally wrapped up in their routine and pressed for information with them staying very quiet.
However, Bruno then also appeared to confirm Mollie, 30, and AJ, 27, were an item as he gushed about their moves, prior to a heated disagreement with co-star Craig Revel Horwood.
“Oh yes [the chemistry was believable]…” the 62-year-old started, before knowing laugher and giggles from the crowd.

Did you actually just kiss on the lips? I missed that!
The choreographer continued: “They’re obviously devoted to each other. I could feel the fireworks myself - I’m telling you that!
“But I was not expecting your ability to translate all these wonderful emotions into such beautiful motion. Your quality of movement was better than ever, especially the way - it’s so hard to get a move moving through your back into your arms.”
In an earlier VT, Mollie gave AJ a touching memory book of her time, which saw the stars look very close in the studio.
