Tilly Ramsay is on A-list celeb dating app Raya after romance rumours with Strictly partner Nikita

STRICTLY star Tilly Ramsay has joined A-list dating app Raya, The Sun can exclusively reveal.

Tilly, 20, and her professional partner Nikita Kuzmin previously sparked romance rumours as they competed in the BBC1 dancing competition.

But the pair have always insisted they are simply "best friends" - and Nikita, 23, proved he and girlfriend Nicole Wirt are still going strong as the pair reunited this week.

And Gordon Ramsay's daughter is apparently keen to further shut down any rumours of a romantic relationship by joining the celebrity app.

We're told Tilly isn't looking for anything serious but wants to go on a few dates and see what happens.

A source said: "She joined ages ago and wasn't using the app as she was concentrating on Strictly."

The Sun previously revealed how Tilly had been keen to shut down any claims from the start by meeting Nicole when she visited London to spend time with Nikita.

An insider at the time said: "When Nikita’s girlfriend Nicole came to London she immediately visited him and Tilly. They got on like a house on fire and bonded over Nikita. Nicole also gave them some tips on their dancing.

“It couldn’t have gone better between them. There is a huge amount of trust needed between a couple when one of you is spending hours in the arms of another woman. And Nikita and Nicole have that trust – they’ve been together for five years."

Tilly was forced to miss the Strictly final last week, which saw Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice lift the Glitterball, after catching Covid.

Breaking the news on Instagram, she wrote: "So sad to be missing the Strictly final - but sadly have tested positive for Covid.

"Will be watching from my sofa and cheering on the amazing finalists from home on Saturday night - wishing everyone lots of love & good luck❤️❤️ x Tilly."
