Strictly chaos as fans are convinced Tom Fletcher gave away his secret pro partner in tell-tale clue – did you spot it?
STRICLY Come Dancing fans are convinced they have worked out who Tom Fletcher's secret pro partner is after he posted a snap of her FEET.
The McFly singer took to Instagram to share a photo from the rehearsal floor - showing only his dance partner from the knees down.
Ahead of the official partner reveal on Saturday, Tom, 36, may have given away his partner's identity prematurely as fans think they have it sussed.
Viewers of the BBC One dancing show are sure that the pair of feet in the photo next to the pop band frontman belong to Amy Dowden.
Tom's snap sees him standing next to his partner in a pair of white socks and lace-up dance shoes, with the mystery lady opting for a similar look.
"My dance partner and I are in day one of @bbcstrictly training," he wrote to fans. "Don't worry, she's already told me off for my white socks."
The father-of-three-, who shares sons Buzz, seven, Buddy, five, and Max, three, with Queen of the Jungle Giovanna Fletcher, teased: "But who is she?"
Fans immediately flooded the comments section with suggestions of who it might be - with many certain it was ballroom expert Amy, 31.
"I reckon Amy!" one fan commented, while a second chimed in under the post: "100 per cent Amy Dowden!"
A third chimed in: "I kinda hoped Dianne but definitely think Amy!"
Fans then headed to Amy's Instagram stories, where they found an even bigger clue - a snap with eerie similarity to the one posted by Tom.
Amy posed in the mirror for a selfie in the wooden-clad rehearsal studio, wearing black leggings and black dance shoes similar to the photo.
The dancer captioned her post, which was uploaded around the same time as the McFly star: "What an amazing first morning of rehearsals!"

She gave the camera a thumbs up as fans frantically zoomed in on her feet to confirm the similarities between the two pictures.
One fan posted in response to the cryptic snaps: "I'm convinced it's Amy, she was wearing black in her Instagram stories!"
"I think so too!" added another. "All black, and it's also the same floor/place as her video (although I don’t know if they all train in the same space)."
"Same chairs too - def same space," a third said as a fourth concluded: "I'm convinced now it's Amy cos of her Instagram stories!"
The BBC One competition has already been thrown into chaos after one of the professional stars tested positive for Covid-19.
A source said: "This is proving to be a nightmare for producers, just as they prepare to bring back Strictly for its first full series since the pandemic."
That means the celebrity they were paired with may now have to be given a new partner because they’re unlikely to have enough time to practice together before the first live show takes place on September 25.
"It means that Strictly viewers are likely to watch the pro paired with their celeb, then they could be separated by the time the first live show begins," the source continued.

“That also means that the pro in question will probably end up only taking part in group dances throughout the new series, which will be particularly galling.”
Strictly Come Dancing starts at 7:45pm on Saturday on BBC One
