I’m a body language expert and Strictly’s Nigel Harman and Katya Jones have a ‘deep connection’ – they’re ‘very tactile’

STRICTLY Come Dancing stars Nigel Harman and Katya Jones have a ‘deep connection’, according to a body language expert.

The pair shot to the top of the leaderboard for the first week of the competition and were given a respectable score last week.

Nigel, 50, was awarded a score of 32 for his debut dance and was easily in the top half of the competition for week two.

And body language expert Darren Stanton thought that their positive performance was due to their “respect” for one another.

Speaking to Betfair Bingo he said: “Nigel and Katya did really well this week. It was a really strong performance from them.

“It was very intense between them. It’s clear they have a really strong connection.

“Looking at their close body language and eye contact, they have a huge respect for each other and a deep rapport.”

The pundit added: “Even when they’re not being tactile, you can sense they have a spark and really get on together.”

This comes as the pair seem to be getting close as they were spotted in a sweet embrace after leaving rehearsals with a pair of racquets.

They also sparked romance rumours after they shared a tender kiss as Nigel gave Katya a peck on the cheek before their routine in week two.

He also thought that EastEnders star Bobby Brazier, 20, and Dianne Buswell, 34, also benefit from the same ‘energy levels’ due to being youthful.

“Bobby and Dianne bring a very different connection to the competition,” he claimed.

“The fact that they are both young is a huge benefit, as their energy levels when they’re together are so high. I would say they are one of the strongest.

“When they’re dancing together, their gestures are so synchronised, that it’s hard to believe it’s only the second week. It’s almost as if they’ve known each other all their lives.

“It’s impossible to fake a reciprocal liking or a deep rapport. You either have it, or you don’t.”

He added: “And when they dance together, they become one.”
