STRICTLY Come Dancing star Adam Peaty’s girlfriend Eiri Munro has shared her shock reaction to him “nearly kissing” Katya Jones live on TV.
Viewers were left stunned last night when they spotted the 26-year-old Olympian seemingly pucker up and lean towards his professional dance partner at the end of their saucy routine.
It came just hours after his 23-year-old girlfriend Eiri, who he shares 13-month-old George-Anderson with, had insisted she’s “not worried” in a cryptic Instagram post.
But she appears to have had a change of heart, wasting no time to go on social media to react to the controversial “near kiss”.
Make-up free and dressed casually in a plain T-shirt with ungroomed hair, the artist pretended to cry in a TikTok video that began “watching your boyfriend almost kiss another woman live on TV”.
The crying intensifies as she throws her head back, adding: “Finding out 10 million people also watched it live”.
She did not add a caption to the video, but when a fan commented: “He better be sleeping in the pool tonight”, she commented: “Looool” and a crying with laughter emoji.
Over on Twitter, Eiri retweeted a Strictly fan who’d shared a photo of an unimpressed woman and written: “Adam’s girlfriend when he gets home.”
Viewers couldn’t believe their eyes when Adam wrapped his arms around Katya at the end of their Argentine tango and appeared to lean in for a kiss before “remembering where he was”.
It sent social media into a frenzy, with many sharing their shock at what they’d just watched unfold, with one writing: “Adam full had to snap himself out of a kiss at the end there. We all saw.”
Ahead of yesterday’s live show, Eiri had flashed her stomach in a sultry selfie, which she’d poignantly captioned: “Not worried”.
Earlier this week, Adam had admitted that Eiri had been left unimpressed after he missed his son’s first birthday due to the show.
He confessed: “It didn’t go down too well but that’s the difficult thing when you do this, everyone has to understand.”
Adam and Eiri met on Tinder at the start of 2020, and she was pregnant with their son just weeks later.
Meanwhile Russian beauty Katya was famously caught up in a Strictly storm when she was pictured kissing her celebrity partner Seann Walsh in 2018 behind her husband and his girlfriend’s back.
Ten months later she announced she’d split from Neil Jones.
