HRVY body language: Could Strictly star and Janette Manrara come through with a shock win?

Commenting after week six, Judi said: “While his alleged love interest Maisie going through all kinds of hell after two dance-offs, we were finally shown a peek of some body language between the two youngest competitors, but only as HRVY rose to his feet in a gesture of support at the end of Maisie’s routine, throwing a stabbing finger of victory in the air to suggest he had her back in the face of a troubling two weeks.

“These two seem to have been selected as the potential ‘mating pandas’ of the series, i.e. a good deflection from any potential ‘Curse’ relationships that might occur, thanks to their youth and single status.”

However, Maisie previously put paid to any potential romance between the two herself.

She told OK! Magazine: “It’s a weird one. We get along so well – there was an instant connection between us – and I knew straight away that we would be friends. Yes, there’s been ‘flanter’ [flirty banter], but I think it’s platonic.”
