THE Strictly “curse” may have struck again as dancer Nadiya Bychkova was caught in a clinch with her celeb partner David James.
Engaged Nadiya was filmed nestled in the arms of the former England footie ace.

They were seen kissing and cuddling in the background of a clip posted on Instagram this week by dancer Aljaz Skorjanec.
He accidentally caught the intimate moment at rehearsals for tomorrow’s show final.
Ukrainian Nadiya, 30, has a daughter, one, with Slovenian footballer fiance Matija Skarabot, 31.
She has also been linked to fellow pro Brendan Cole, 43, and singer Lee Ryan, 36, her partner in the previous series of the BBC show.

David, 49, has four children with ex-wife Tanya, who he divorced in 2005. Earlier this year he split from his long-term partner.
In April he was spotted enjoying a glass of wine with a brunette in London’s South Kensington.
Alijaz, 29, was filming BBC presenter Mike Bushell, 54, for his 419,000 followers on Wednesday when he caught the clinch.
Former Liverpool, Portsmouth, and Bristol City goalkeeper David stood behind Nadiya with her in his arms.

In a blue top and baseball cap, he lent in to kiss her head as she gently fell back into his chest.
Nadiya, wearing leggings and a sports crop top which showed off her toned midriff, clutched his arms as they rocked back and forwards.
At one point she glanced up and gazed at her 6ft 4ins partner.
One fan tweeted: “Well well.” Another replied: “This will take some explaining. There’s striking up a rapport with your dance professional, then there’s this.”
And a third reckoned: “They were acting like honeymooners and star-crossed lovers. I hope they don’t get in trouble for this.”
In August pro dancers Neil, 37, and Katya Jones, 30, split.
The couple’s relationship failed to recover from her snog with celeb partner Seann Walsh, 34. And last year’s Strictly winner Stacey Dooley, 32, left her long-term boyfriend for dance partner Kevin Clifton, 37.
