The blonde beauty failed to impress the judges with her performance and she appeared far from happy as she rushed backstage with professional partner AJ Pritchard. 

As she stood in the green room, she covered her face and exclaimed: “That was a nightmare.”

AJ wrapped his arms around the singer to reassure her but she couldn’t look at him as she apologised: “I’m so sorry. I feel like I’ve let you down.”

But the professional insisted: “Don’t be sorry. You came out there and you worked as hard as you do every single week. You just did it.

“You went out there and shook everything. Shirley [Ballas] appreciated it.”

Mollie was not convinced however, as she continued to slam her performance and reflected on the judges comments. 

“Oh god, I’m so embarrassed,” she told AJ. “I’m so sorry.”

Again he reassured her: “I know this is a dance you never wanted to touch but you still went out there and gave it 100 per cent determination.”

It came just moments before presenter Tess Daly addressed rumours of a romance between the pair as she joked with co-host Claudia Winkleman. 

When Claudia asked if they should comment on the elephant in the room, the blonde beauty quipped: “You mean, are Mollie and AJ a couple or not?”
