Strictly Come Dancing stars Nigel Harman and Katya Jones have been praised by a body language expert for their "deep connection" on the show. The pair had an impressive debut and received a respectable score last week. Their positive performance is believed to be a result of their "respect" for one another.
A strong connection
According to body language expert Darren Stanton, Nigel and Katya have a strong rapport. Stanton observed their close body language and eye contact, noting that it is clear they have "a huge respect for each other." Even when they are not being tactile, their spark and strong connection is evident.
Romance rumours
Recent photos of Nigel and Katya show them getting close outside of rehearsals. They were spotted in a sweet embrace and also shared a tender kiss before their routine in week two, sparking romance rumours.
Energy levels
The body language expert also commented on the connection between EastEnders star Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell. He believes their "energy levels" benefit their performances due to their youthfulness. When Bobby and Dianne dance together, their gestures are so synchronized that it's hard to believe it's only the second week.
"It's impossible to fake a reciprocal liking or a deep rapport. You either have it, or you don't," Stanton said.
The expert claims that Nigel and Katya become like one when they dance together.
Overall, the body language expert sees a strong connection and deep rapport between Nigel Harman and Katya Jones, as well as Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell. Their performances on Strictly Come Dancing have been impressive, and their chemistry is evident on and off the dance floor.
