The babe, 30, became the 11th celebrity to be eliminated after two flopfooted routines.

But bookies are tipping the Saturdays singer to go public about a romance with toyboy dance partner AJ Pritchard, 23, in days.

Presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman both teased the pair live on air about their closeness.

    And punters are now so convinced they are backing the pair to get engaged.

    Bookmakers Coral make it 1-4 they go public before the end of the year and 6-1 to get engaged in 2018.

    Spokesman Harry Aitkenhead said: “You can almost see the sparks flying between the pair with their dancing and we think it is only a matter of time before she confirms that they are now a couple.”
