Caroline Flack feels "intimate" with her 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner, Pasha Kovalev.
The former 'Xtra Factor' host has been speaking about her relationship with the professional dancer and revealed she's surprised by how close they've become in such a short space of time while training for the BBC One dance contest.
She said: "It's funny how intimate it becomes though, like quickly.
"You don't know this person and then you are doing the tango and you have your thigh between their thighs all day."
However, Caroline - who is dating music manager Jack Street - insists there are no romantic feelings between her and Pasha, 34, who is dating his celebrity partner from last year's series, 'Countdown' beauty Rachel Riley.
The 34-year-old beauty also rubbished claims she's taking part in Strictly to get back at ITV rivals 'The X Factor' after her 'Xtra Factor' job was given to her pal Sarah-Jane Crawford, 29, earlier this year.
Speaking on 'Alan Carr: Chatty Man', she's reported by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "People have said I have done it on purpose, I have gone to the rival.
"I watch 'The X Factor' on catch up. I don't see it like that. The job I was doing was no longer mine and Strictly came up at the right time and it was good timing.
"I had three brilliant years on X Factor but this year is really good."
'Downton Abbey' are planning to release a Christmas album.
The cast of the popular ITV period drama are said to be planning to produce a festive record just in time for Christmas, The Sun newspaper reports.
The project - which is titled 'Christmas at Downton Abbey' - has been backed by classical music label, Rhino, and will feature the vocal talents of Elizabeth McGovern, who plays Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham.
It is uncertain, however, whether any of the other stars of the show, such as Michelle Dockery, Hugh Bonneville or Dame Maggie Smith will be joining Elizabeth in the recording studio.
The ITV show has previously released an album which showcased original classical music from the composer John Lunn, but this will be the first featuring vocals from the cast themselves.
Meanwhile, Hollywood star George Clooney is set to make an appearance in the upcoming 'Downton Abbey' Text Santa charity appeal.
Downton creator Julian Fellowes said of the cameo: "He very, very, very kindly agreed to come and be a part of a little special we did that supports the ITV group of charities.
"It was a great privilege and pleasure to have him on the set, and he was very sweet to do it."
Gregg Wallace is worried Craig Revel Horwood will get his revenge against him on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 'MasterChef' judge criticised the professional dancer when he took part in the BBC One cookery show in 2007 and he's now worried Craig's going to get his revenge by slamming his dance moves when he performs for him on the celebrity dance contest.
Gregg said: "The irony isn't lost on me that I'm a judge on one show and now going to be judged on another, and Craig was on 'Celebrity MasterChef'.
"I'm trying to rack my brains to think back to what I said to him. I keep trying to replay his dishes over and over in my mind."
The 49-year-old presenter has shed a lot of weight since he first appeared on 'MasterChef' but admits he's still struggling to get the hang of his and partner Aliona Vilani's dance routines.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph newspaper, he said: "There are a lot of moves I'm not used to doing as a greengrocer.
"I woke up with one completely knotted right calf and an aching muscle where I didn't know I had a muscle near my left hamstring."
However, Gregg has no plans to lay off the puddings while taking part in the competition.
He added: "I think we can eat what we want. I lost three pounds in two days of training!
"I'm ambitious but I don't think I can win really, considering some of the younger, fitter contestants. It's not possible.
"Pixie [Lott] is just incredible and so is Frankie [Bridge]."

Google insist they have removed "tens of thousands" of nude celebrity pictures which were leaked online.
The online giant were threatened with a $100 million lawsuit by lawyers acting for over a dozen of the female stars - which include Jennifer Lawrence, Cara Delevingne, Rihanna and Amber Heard - whose private accounts were hacked and had personal images uploaded online, but despite accusations otherwise, the company insist they have been working hard to remove the photographs from all of their sites since requests were made.
The company's spokesperson told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "We've removed tens of thousands of pictures -- within hours of the requests being made -- and we have closed hundreds of accounts.
"The internet is used for many good things. Stealing people's private photos is not one of them."
Lawyer Marty Singer had sent a strongly-worded letter to Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well as Eric Schmidt and Google lawyers accusing them of "blatantly unethical behaviour" in failing to remove the images - which were first posted on websites Reddit and 4Chan - and "making millions from the victimisation of women."
Lawyer Marty Singer has written a sternly-worded letter to Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well as Eric Schmidt and Google lawyers accusing them of "blatantly unethical behaviour".
In the letter, the lawyer stated his firm sent a notice to remove the images four weeks ago, and several more since, but many of the photos are still on BlogSpot and YouTube, which are both owned by Google.
He added: "Google knows the images are hacked stolen property, private and confidential photos and videos unlawfully obtained and posted by pervert predators who are violating the victims' privacy rights ... Yet Google has taken little or no action to stop these outrageous violations.
"Because the victims are celebrities with valuable publicity rights you do nothing -- nothing but collect millions of dollars in advertising revenue ... as you seek to capitalise on this scandal rather than quash it."
Ellen Pompeo has become a mother for the second time.
The 'Grey's Anatomy' actress announced via her WhoSay account yesterday (02.10.14) that she and husband Chris Ivery - with who she already has five-year-old daughter Stella - had welcomed baby Sienna into the world via a surrogate, though it is unclear when the little girl was born.
She wrote alongside a photo of her husband kissing the baby:
"Sienna May Ivery welcome to the world. We love you more than words can say."
She later added on Twitter: "Sienna was born via surrogate & I would like to thank my whole @ShondalandTV family for helping us enjoy these first few weeks privately [love] U.(sic)"
The 44-year-old actress recently admitted she was considering quitting acting when she finally decides to depart her 'Grey's Anatomy' role of Meredith Grey - who she has played since 2005 - as she has no "strong desire" to find new roles.
She said: "I definitely feel myself transitioning. I don't find acting terribly empowering. For the place I am in my life, I think my age, once I hit 40, I feel differently. I don't necessarily want to work for other people."
However, the Golden Globe winner - who has starred as Meredith Grey on the medical drama since 2005 - refused to confirm that she would be quitting acting for good.
When asked if the end of 'Grey's Anatomy' could mark the end of her acting career, she said: "Oh, absolutely. I mean, never say never, I'm not going to come out and make one of those statements like, 'I'm retiring after...' and then in February come back. I try to keep an open heart, an open mind, an open soul and spirit to whatever comes my way and whatever is meant to be for me will be."

The 34-year-old beauty portrays Prudence in 'One Big Happy' and will shoot nude scenes as the "uninhibited" "sexy Mary Poppins" character tomorrow (04.10.14) and she won't be doing so on a closed set.
A show insider told The Sun newspaper: "It's a bonus that she's confident and comfortable showing off her body as the character Prudence has no inhibitions.
"The nude scene will be tastefully shot."
Kelly has already impressed bosses on 'One Big Happy' - which was created by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and also stars 'Love Actually' actress Elisha Cuthbert - with her work so far.
The source added: "Producers thought Kelly was brilliant and very funny."
Following her dramatic split for her fiance David McIntosh late last month, the model-turned-actress has been staying positive by sharing snippets of her experience on the social networking site, Twitter.
After posting about their break up, she tweeted: "Positive changes- Good people -Happy Life- Creative Work. (sic)"

Lady Gaga got a new tattoo to "honour her fans".
The 'Just Dance' singer has revealed her new body art as a tribute to her fans, or as they are affectionately know, her little monsters.
The 28-year-old shared a photo of the ink work - which is located on her back - on Instagram, where she captioned the picture: "#Monster4Life (sic)
She later wrote on Twitter: "I got this Tattoo to honor my fans, u are special, loyal & I'm humbled everyday how lucky I am to have you. Paws Up I'll be a #monster4life (sic)"
The tattoo is of a claw which is covered in lace and beads, this is likely a reference to her catachphrase, 'paws up' which she often does at concerts. Lady Gaga got the new addition to her body art collection done by the renowned artist, Eric Gonzalez, who also shared a photo of the singer lounging on a table before he started working on her tattoo.
The singer is currently in Germany as part of the European leg of her ArtRave: The ArtPop Ball tour.
Mel B won't "mother" her 'X Factor' contestants.
The former Spice Girl - who is mentoring the boys category on this year's series of the ITV singing competition - believes in tough love when it comes to getting the best out of her contestants and says she isn't there to baby sit them.
She told The Sun newspaper: "Boys can do whatever they want, they are boys. As long as they are respectful about it and whoever they are with, who am I to say anything?
"I'm not their mother. They are responsible for themselves.
"You show up to work and you prepare yourself. What you do in your personal life is up to you, as long as it doesn't affect your work."
Although the 39-year-old singer is a self-professed "hard-**s" she insists she is open to providing emotional support for the boys if they come to her.
She explained: "I can be a hard-**s, a bad-**s, and I can be very emotional and very connected.
"I'm not working with girls -- I expect them to be emotional and open up, but boys are boys.
"You can't force a boy to tell you how he's feeling. If they want to tell me, they can tell me ."
The brunette beauty - who sits beside Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Louis Walsh on the panel - revealed all the judges are "hungry' for success on this year's competition but is unsure who will take the crown, stating, "Anyone could win."
She explained: "All of our judging styles are pretty different and that's why this panel works. We respect each other and agree to disagree. We can have a little bit of a fight and laugh about it two seconds later but still have our point to prove.
"Everyone is hungry for that competition. That competitiveness is inside all four of us.
"They're all dark horses and we've all got really strong categories. Anyone could win."
James 'Arg' Argent and Lydia Bright have "made love" recently, despite being "just friends".
The former couple - who split in 2012 - have grown increasingly close in recent months, and while the 24-year-old beauty insists their relationship is purely platonic, her former boyfriend insists there is more to it that being pals.
Arg - who shared a kiss with Lydia in the last episode of 'TOWIE' - said: "We've had some kisses and cuddles and yes, we've made love.
"Some days Lydia tries to keep our relationship as just friends, but then we'll get close again."
And Arg admits he declares his feelings to his former flame every day, and she occasionally reciprocates.
He added to Closer magazine: "I tell Lydia I love her every day. She's cautious because of everything that happened but she's said she loves me too."
While Lydia knows fans are keen for the pair to reunite, she still can't get past the fact he cheated on her, sparking the end of their relationship two years ago.
She said: "I know people are excited about us potentially getting back together, but I don't think Ill ever get over what happened. Right now we're friends."
Nitin Ganatra has teased "fireworks" for Masood's family in 'EastEnders'
The actor - who plays Masood Ahmed in the BBC soap - has suggested that viewers should expect tension between his character and his on-screen daughter Shabnam Masood (Rakhee Thakrar) following her return from Pakistan.
Talking to BANG Showbiz at the Inside Soap Awards (01.10.14), Nitin explained: "[There are] lots of father-daughter fireworks coming up. Shabnam has come back from Pakistan with a very head-strong attitude and it's kind of put the laid back Masood on his back foot."
The 46-year-old went on to state that the friction between the two characters will expose parts of Masood's personality which haven't been shown before, as he struggles to deal with Shabnam's behaviour.
He continued: "She's a feisty young lady who tells her dad what to do. I think the storylines developing at the moment will kind of be exploring that relationship between father and daughter and switching the roles a little bit hopefully.
"We might see a darker Masood, a bit more possessive with his daughter than you usually expect Masood to be. So they're going to be exploring this, we might see a wilder side to Shabnam, so everything might get flipped on its head."
The Kenyan-born actor who has appeared in the soap since 2007, also expressed his frustration about being part of the only Asian family on Albert Square, admitting that he feels pressured to represent all elements of Asian culture.
He explained: "It's a very diverse culture, being Asian, so being the only Asian family does have a certain pressure on it.
Diversity is when you don't notice how many different cultures there are on TV, because it's not under a microscope. When there's only one, it's going to be too much pressure."
