WEEPly in love
Strictly’s Mollie King breaks down in tears next to AJ Pritchard before Zoe Ball asks ‘are you in love?’
MOLLIE King burst into tears on Strictly spin-off It Takes Two tonight - before presenter Zoe Ball asked her and pro dancer if they'd "fallen in love".
The former Saturdays singer, who got voted off the dance show this weekend, was very emotional about saying goodbye to her partner and the programme.

The appearance on the BBC Two spin-off came after Mollie, 30, gave an emotional goodbye speech on Sunday's main show, calling AJ her "hero".
And tonight, after Mollie was shown a montage of clips from her time on the BBC contest - plus a vid from her parents - tears welled up in her eyes as AJ gazed at her.
She gushed: "I feel so lucky to have spent time with you all. I've loved it, I wish I could do it again, it's been an incredible experience."
A moment later, Zoe could not resist the opportunity to ask the question that's been raging for weeks.

She said: "The question on everybody's lips. Have you fallen in love…with dancing?"
As usual, the pair refused to confirm or deny that they had started a romantic relationship following all the speculation.
Cheeky Zoe then added: "We've fallen in love with the idea that you two will fall in love one day.
"I've bought my hat for the wedding!"

Apart from making her speech on Sunday, Mollie also posted a long Instagram thank you message to AJ, alongside a romantic snap of them dancing.
She wrote: "AJ, I don’t even know where to begin... I have felt like the luckiest girl in the world being able to dance in your arms every Saturday night.
"I can’t even begin to thank you enough for everything you have done... You are absolutely magical."
Bookies reckon Mollie, who used to date male model David Gandy, will go public about a romance with toyboy AJ in days.
Coral make it 1-4 they go public before the end of the year and 6-1 to get engaged in 2018.
