Dr Punam Krishan has declared her love for her Strictly Come Dancing co-star as they gave each other 'reassurance' over their next appearance in the famous ballroom.
The practising GP has been back working hard in rehearsals this week after make it through to week six of the BBC One dance contest last weekend alongisde her dance partner Gorka Marquez.
They were supported by the public after they had another tricky time in the ballroom last Saturday night (October 19) when they were awarded 21 points for their romantic Viennese waltz routine to She’s Always A Woman To Me by US singer Billy Joel.

But with a new dance, Punam and Gorka will be hoping to bounce back with their pirate-themed Tango to Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics as the remaining 11 couples perform in Strictly's Halloween special this Saturday night (October 26).
Ahead of their next performance, Punam was seen alongside her fellow Strictly star Chris McCausland who will be hoping for another successful weekend in the ballroom after reducing viewers to tears last week with his and Dianne Buswell's moving Waltz.
Having headed to Elstree Studios for their run-throughs on the ballroom floor ahead of the live show, Punam and Chris were seen sitting together and having a moment, with them speaking about how they take time out together each week they return to the studio for another fun - and nerve-wracking - weekend.
"Look who I'm sat with... Hi Chris! He's one of my favourite humans ever. You really are. We sit here on a Friday before our dress runs and what do we do?" Punam said as Chris replied: "Well we try and give each other reassurance, make each other feel better about the fact that we feel like we're failing our families..."

As he laughed, Punam said: "Yep, failing our families, useless at the dancing, can't quite pick it up but we try..." Chris continued: "We have a cuddle, we say nice things to each other... It's hard innit?" Punam then commented: "It is hard," before Chris continued: "It's consuming. The time it takes is just all of your time pretty much. I don't know how you're managing to remotely even have a job while you're doing this. It is astounding!"
Chris shared how he'd rearranged his tour dates to take part in Strictly and admitted that while he did think about keeping some in the diary, he's glad he didn't. "Now I'm here I'm thinking, 'Thank goodness I moved them all'. I don't know how you're doing it!"
The pair then continued to throw sweet compliments at each other back and forth before Punam said: "The adrenaline's high, the cortisols running - we are nervous. But we're just sat here having a moment, the two of us and it's lovely."
"Well I think you're doing great," Chris told Punam who responded: "I think you're doing amazing. I love you." Chris then said: "I love you too," as they laughed an he planted a kiss on her head.
