Strictly Come Dancing pro Carlos Gu has provided some context to his flirty encounter with Claudia Winkleman during last weekend's launch show.
Joining host Rylan Clark-Neal on spinoff It Takes Two yesterday (September 27), alongside his celebrity partner Molly Rainford, the choreographer was shown a clip of the moment he intimately waxed lyrical about the rumba to Strictly presenter Claudia.
"When I touch you, you feel the sensual..." Carlos said at the time, pulling her closer to him on the sofa. "Look at me darling, can you feel that?"

Using her cue card as a fan, a flushed Claudia jokingly told the studio: "I think I am pregnant! Thank you!"
Laughing at their exchange, Carlos then admitted to Rylan: "Oh I loved that moment!" while also revealing that his aim was to let Claudia experience the hot chemistry a routine such as the rumba requires.
It worked an absolute treat.

Meanwhile, former Strictly champion Joanne Clifton made her debut as the permanent head of Choreography Corner on It Takes Two this week.
Addressing her new role, she shared in a statement: "I am so incredibly honoured to be taking the lead with Choreography Corner this year! Strictly has been – and continues to be – a massive part of my life.
"I've always had a brilliant time on It Takes Two and it has been a joy to be able to come back and visit my Strictly family since hanging up the sequins in 2016. To be a part of the It Takes Two team is an absolute dream come true and I look forward to seeing the Fab-U-Lous class of 2022 strut their stuff!"
Strictly Come Dancing resumes this Saturday (October 1) on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
