Holly & Artem Are Just Friends

Following rumours that they were getting close, Holly has denied rumours that her relationship with Artem is anything but professional.

She told The Sun: "It's all above board. We have become good friends and my boyfriend gets on great with Artem. That's so important. We get on great and he is a fantastic teacher, but when you are suddenly spending time with a random man, it's important that everything is above board. Artem is a lovely guy and I hope we do hang out after this show has finished. He is extremely passionate about dancing and whilst I tend to do things very calmly and quietly, he goes about it in more of a Russian way."

Holly has also taken advice from Artem's girlfriend Kara Tointon: "Kara has been giving me lots of advice. It's not long ago that she did it and she knows what I am feeling like. That's been so brilliant."
