STRICTLY Come Dancing fans couldn’t believe their eyes when AJ Odudd almost kissed Kai Widdrington.
The pair have set tongues wagging with their sizzling chemistry on the dancefloor and Kai was even heard saying “I love you” after their sensational movie week dance.
But they took it up a notch during their very sexy Argentine tango as it seemed AJ almost kissed Kai live on air.
At the end of their sultry routine to Stevie Nicks’ classic Edge of Seventeen, the sexy pair leaned in very close and sent fans into a frenzy.
“Kai and AJ competing against Adam and Katya near kiss moment Eyes,” wrote one fan on Twitter.
Another commented: “Really thought AJ & Kai were about to start shagging there on the dancefloor. That was definitely nearly a kiss, right? (And he’s covered in her make-up!).”
And a third added: “I thought AJ and Kai were gonna kiss at the end!”
The hot moment comes a week after ‘kiss-gate’ between Olympian Adam Peaty and Katya Jones.

Adam’s girlfriend Eiri Munro shared her shock reaction to the frenzy later that same evening, and 26-year-old Adam hit out at the “gossip” soon after.
Adam lashed out at claims he “wanted to kiss Katya” at the end of their performance in a passionate post on social media earlier this week.
Sharing footage of his performance on Twitter, the father-of-one said: “My favourite dance so far. Thank you to everyone who has sent supporting messages! I loved it.
“To everyone who wants to see what they want, your comments have real life consequences.
“I will not be overcome or lowered by your gossip. Protect your energy.”
But AJ and Kai have only fuelled the chat after the TV presenter credited the dancer with helping her unleash her sexy side.
She said: “Right, So Kai has not only been teaching me how to dance but he’s been teaching me how to act. There’s a lot of passion, there’s a lot of chemistry, there’s a lot of romance, it’s thrilling!
“And in practice I could not look at Kai without bursting out into laughter. But now hopefully come Saturday night, I’m going to look at him eye to eye, look in love and it’s going to be amazing. But it is awkward!”
For many, getting up close and personal with someone you’ve only just met could be tricky, AJ said her mind is too focused on perfecting the routines to think about it.
“For me personally, I’m not thinking about it,” she said. “I’m literally thinking, ‘okay, heel, step onto the ball, roll onto the back of your…’ I’m thinking about the steps, Kai might as well not be there. Joking, I’m only joking.
“But I’m just concentrating so much that I’m not really focused on being in his personal space. And then when it comes to the performance, then I’m like, oh yeah Kai, brilliant, let’s do this. Do you know what I mean?”
