It’s after he supported his co-star Montell Douglas in the Strictly studio audience at the weekend when she stunned the judges with her incredible Carnival-inspired performance.
Jamie ‘The Giant’ Christian-Johal – who is married to his business partner Katie – looked handsome in a green velvet suit jacket and bow tie.
Meanwhile recently-single Nadiya wowed in a feathery gown with a daring plunge.
A source told The Sun: “There was was nothing flirty or romantic about Giant and Nadiya chatting at the bar.
“They were just having a good conversation while queuing for the bar. Giant has a partner and kids and is very much a family man.”
Their friendly chat could signal the pair are in cahoots for him to follow in Montell’s footsteps and sign up to Strictly next year.
The hunky former fireman would be a catch for series 21 of the show that’s been mired with scandals in recent months.
The bodybuilder has been in the limelight since appearing in the brand new BBC reboot of the iconic 90’s show Gladiators,
He joined a whole host of celebrities to celebrate the Pride of Britain awards last night.
Stars were seen in tears as a young burns survivor took to the stage to collect an award.
Meet the Gladiators finalists
The Gladiators final takes place on Easter Saturday at 5.30pm on BBC One.
After ten gruelling weeks facing the superhuman Gladiators, four contenders have made it through to the grand final.
The Gladiators 2024 finalists are:
Finlay Anderson – Army officer Finlay, 34, from Edinburgh has made it to the final despite being injured in the quarter-final.
Wesley Male – Even though he joined in the quarter-final stage, part-time Leeds wrestler Wesley, 35, has proved a force to be reckoned with on the Gladiators gauntlet.
Bronte Jones – This 23-year-old firefighter from Sheffield is the youngest contender in the final.
Marie-Louise Nicholson – Hailing from Dublin, Marie-Louise, 28, is a fitness coach who has scored maximum points five times on Gladiators.
The little girl, named Elizabeth Soffe, was just six months old when he suffered life-threatening burns to her body as a baby when her cot caught fire.
Strictly stars got on stage to honour Elizabeth – who has raised more than £200,000 for Birmingham Children’s Hospital where she was treated for her injuries.
The little girl’s story saw the audience overcome with emotion, with celebrities including TV presenter Emily Atack and singer Kimberley Walsh breaking down in tears.
