At one point, the couple was seen standing close together with their arms in the air before Bobby picked Dianne up by the waist.

In another moment, Bobby lifted her into the air and spun her around before leaning against the window, exhausted.

Bobby wore a casual white vest while Dianne wore a striped crop top and leggings.

The pair appeared on Loose Women on Thursday, where they discussed their upcoming dance; a couple’s choice of Maxwell’s This Woman’s Worth.

Bobby said, “There’s going to be a flood.” There are many reasons why I chose this song. I always thought it was perfect, the lyrics and his voice.

“The lyrics say, ‘I should cry but I just can’t let it show.’ When I was younger and angry and resentful at the world and just couldn’t cry and couldn’t express myself, those lyrics just made me cry .”

Bobby also spoke last week about taking part in the dreaded Dance Off, which saw Angela Rippon eliminated.

He said: “I was a bit shocked, especially when you go to Blackpool and everyone is so excited to see you. “But if I were to pick a place to dance twice, why not Blackpool?

During Sunday’s results show, Angela became the eighth celebrity to be eliminated from the competition.

After being saved by the judges, Bobby has hinted that he might pay tribute to his late mother Jade Goody in this weekend’s episode of Strictly.

The star was just five years old and his brother Freddie was four when Jade died on Mother’s Day 2009 after a battle with cervical cancer.
