Strictly Come Dancing 2019 contestant Karim Zeroual, 19, was pictured greeting his professional dance partner Amy Dowden, 28, with a hug this morning.
The CBBC presenter was snapped in Manchester as he made his way to the training room with Amy to get started on their week four routine.
Karim kept things casual as he made his way across the concourse in a white hooded jumper and pink trousers which he teamed with trainers and a black padded jacket.
Pro dancer Amy styled a maroon top with grey denim jeans and heeled boots, keeping warm by adding a sleeveless fluffy jacket to her ensemble.
Sweeping her hair into a high ponytail, the National Latin American champion greeted her partner with a warm smile and open arms.
Following a successful Samba performance on Saturday night, which saw the couple dress up as characters from the film Kung Fu Panda for Movie Week, the dancing duo made it through to this weekend’s show.
TV star Anneka Rice, 61, and her partner Kevin Clifton, 36, were the second couple to be eliminated on the BBC ballroom dancing competition.
Following the results show on Sunday night, Amy took to her social media account to tell her fans how proud she was of her partner for his dedication and hard work.
She told her 96,300 Instagram followers: ”So so so proud of @karim__zeroual and the performance you gave on Saturday night!“
“You put so much energy in, pushing yourself through a busy work schedule and most of all you enjoyed yourself and I loved it! So proud of you Panda.”
She continued: “We are having so much fun and working so hard and loving this strictly journey!”
