CLAUDIA Winkleman roasted rumoured Strictly lovers Mollie King and AJ Pritchard on tonight's show - by teasing them about all their "kissing".

The joke came up after the dance couple made it through to the semi-finals - and AJ applauded Mollie for being prepared to train for "300 hours a week".
Sharp as ever, Claudia cut in: "And only half of that time is spent kissing."

Mollie - who was dressed as Sandy from Grease - then started playfully hitting Claudia for her comment as the presenter yelled: "It was a joke!"

They also followed up their dance scoring with a very tender hug as AJ leaned into Mollie's ear and whispered.
