British Olympic superstar Adam Peaty 'almost kissed' his dancing partner on Strictly Come Dancing last night, and his girlfriend's reaction was pretty priceless.

Peaty was dancing a very emotional Argentine tango with his partner Katya Jones when - at the end - the pair seemed to be almost overcome with emotion and kiss.

Of course, that's probably unlikely, as they're both in relationships, but it didn't stop people suggesting that might be the case.

One person said: "Did Adam just go to kiss Katya and then remember they're on TV?!"

Obviously, many people just believe that it's all part of the fun, and part of the performance.

And amazingly, amongst those people is Peaty's girlfriend - the mother of his child - Eiri Munro.

She released a video showing her mock-crying on TikTok that was captioned: "Watching your boyfriend almost kiss another woman on live TV."

Then, after she chucked her head back in a dramatic fashion, the caption read: "Finding out 10 million other people also watched it live."

Still, she's definitely not worried by the 'Strictly Curse' rumours.

You see, people have previously ended their relationships - or, in some cases, started new ones with their dance partners - as a result of appearing on the show.

However, a later post from Eiri read: "Not worried."

Adam himself has addressed the 'curse' before now, too.

He demonstrated a move and then said: "My hips are here, hers are here, and then we do this... You get close. I can see how it happens."

That said, there's no reason to believe that there's any danger of that happening here, as the pair are clearly happy, and able to joke about the whole thing.

Is the 'Strictly Curse' really a thing?

As for Jones, she found herself at the centre of a scandal on the show when she became close to comedian Seann Walsh back in 2018.

Adam, one of the most successful British Olympians of all time - who, in fact - should perhaps be nicknamed Adam Com-Peaty - thanks to his success at the Games, has taken on the challenge of Strictly after winning yet another medal at the delayed 2020 games in Tokyo.

We can only assume that he - as an elite level athlete - will stand a good chance in the BBC's flagship reality show.

Or, will his gigantic flippers prove that he has two left feet?

We'll just have to find out.
