With dance shows you always expect rumours that the professionals and celebrities are more than just partners.
And Dancing With The Stars competitors Mark Ballas and Katherine Jenkins did nothing to dispel those rumours as they spent the night together at a London club.
Although Ballas didn't look too cheerful as he was spotted leaving The Brompton Club In Kensington in the early hours of Sunday morning, he only perked up when the pair were safely in the taxi and he could place his hand firmly on top of his dance partners legs.

Perhaps Katherine, 31, just stuck to water as she is in training for hit show Dancing With The Stars - no doubt hoping it will catapult her to fame in the US.
Her dance partner has been flown over as the singer has already started training in London for the popular show.
And Katherine isn't entirely without dancing experience, as she joined Darcey Bussell on stage in the 2009 song-and-dance spectacular Viva La Diva.

Other famous faces on the show include The View's Sherri Shepherd and Martina Navratilova.
The fact the legendary 55-year-old tennis player was still winning grand slam doubles titles as recently as in 2006 is sure to fill her with confidence about the physical side of taking part.
She previously joked on her twitter page: 'In case you haven't heard, my secret is finally Out (No pun intended). I'm going to be dancing on Season 14 of Dancing with the Stars.
And former Little House on the Prairie star Melissa Gilbert was also looking excited to be back on television, and will no doubt enjoy being paired with volatile Russian Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
