Joe Sugg insists there’s "no time" for romance on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 27-year-old YouTube star has been romantically linked to his professional dance partner Diane Buswell during his time on the BBC Latin and ballroom dance competition.
And after rumours surfaced about the pair "snogging like teenagers" at the Blackpool show last week, Joe has said there’s simply not enough hours in the day to rehearse their routines and have a love life.
He said: "There’s nothing in it. If we were dating, everyone would see it.
"It would be very visible. I heard the rumours about us snogging in Blackpool. That was interesting to see. To be honest we haven’t got time to think about that stuff. I’m much more focussed on dancing than anything else."
Joe has been scoring high marks on the show in recent weeks, and says the competition has helped to boost his confidence.
Speaking to Sunday People newspaper, he added: "When you’re growing up you always compare yourself to other people. I was shy unless I was in my comfort zone. But the show has really helped me with that. Everyone on ‘Strictly’ is so nice and that makes you feel good about yourself."
The vlogger is one of the favourites to take home the Glitterball trophy, and recently said there’s an "intense pressure" behind the title.
He said: "This whole experience has been of massive ups and downs of pressure.
"I handle the pressure well in certain circumstances, like on the actual night when the crowd is there. I actually perform better when there is a bigger crowd, which is a bit odd.
"But in terms of being a favourite, that is quite an intense pressure. You really do feel that everyone’s eyes are on you. You do sort of feel it."
