The pair were dancing the Viennese Waltz – but before they started their routine Nigel gave Katya a peck on the cheek.
Their intimate and passionate dance to Stephen Sanchez’s hit Until I Found You had viewers engrossed.
But fans are now convinced the famous Strictly curse will strike again.
Viewers took to social media as they’re convinced the pair are growing romantically close.
One said: “Are Katya and Nigel a thing?”
A second posted: “Googles Nigel Harman’s marital status…”
“Oh no the curse is knocking,” said a third.
While a fourth said: “There’s something so gorgeous about Nigel & Katya.”
However, Casualty actor Nigel is very much married, to his wife Lucy Liemann since 2011.
Nigel and Katya scored a total of 27 points from the judges.
Meanwhile, judge Motsi Mabuse made an epic fashion statement tonight as she took to the dance floor in a thigh-skimming mini dress.
The eye-catching outfit choice comes amid a legal row with her ex-husband that has seen her threatened with jail.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
