MailOnline has contacted Dianne and Bobby’s representatives and Strictly for comment.
On Saturday night, Bobby and Dianne danced the Argentine Tango to Sail by AWLONATION and placed in the middle of the leaderboard with 30 points out of 40.
Viewers took to X – formerly known as Twitter- to comment on their on-screen chemistry with Bobby pulling Dianne in for a passionate ending to their fierce dance.
One wrote: ‘Idk why but the way Bobby behaves around Dianne makes me a bit uncomfortable, like she very clearly views him as a little brother but you can tell he has a crush on her, idk something about it doesn’t sit right with me’.
‘Blimey, Bobby looked like he was about to eat Dianne during that dance’.
‘get someone who looks at u the way bobby looks at dianne’ and ‘WOOAAHHH Bobby & Dianne! Amazing if you ask me’.
It comes after the pair declared their love for each other on Lorraine.
Talking about their close bond, Bobby explained to stand-in host Christine Lampard: ‘We spend so much time together [in rehearsals] all day every day together.’

Dianne is currently balancing her busy Strictly schedule with spending time with YouTuber boyfriend Joe, with whom she was partnered on the 2018 series.
Bobby, meanwhile, was last linked to Waterloo star, Tillie Amartey, also 20, in 2022 and despite it being over a year since their break-up, he is reportedly still ‘besotted’ with her.
He has been ‘constantly messaging’ the model and ‘hasn’t given up’ on their relationship.
The duo were last spotted together on their Instagram Stories in August 2021, with a source saying they ended their relationship in March 2022.
A source previously told The Mirror: ‘Bobby was really keen on her, but she decided to call time on the relationship, feeling they weren’t compatible.’
Bobby has since been linked to Storm model Liberty Love, but their relationship fizzled out.
