Brian Fancies Ali, Ali Fancies Brian

Brian Fortuna has been asking partner Ali Bastian out on dates, but while she admits she likes him, she wants to keep their relationship Strictly professional.

Brian told The Sun earlier this week: "The truth is I've been asking Ali out for two or three weeks. She turns me down every time but maybe one day she'll accept it. Who knows?"

Ali told The Sun: "I think he is lovely. I think because we are working so closely together, you do get interested. You spend so much time together and I really am enjoying the moment. I feel great. I am completely inspired by him. He is an incredible dancer. I do have a big weakness for men who can dance and I have never met anyone who can dance quite so well as Brian. I am feeling really happy right now and I am so glad to have him as my partner."

Brain spends a lot of time working with Kristina. Maybe he's seen the publicity she's got with Joe and fancies a bit of the same. Or maybe he really does like Ali. Not sure why you'd tell The Sun that though... I'm so cynical... They would make a very lovely couple, though.
