Taking to the comments, fans showered them with praise. "You were both amazing together in Birmingham," one wrote, whilst another added: "You both look unreal."

Nikita was forced to miss the first few shows of the tour after testing positive with Covid-19.
The professional dancer broke the news on his social media accounts where he shared a photo of him and dance partner Tilly Ramsay following their steamy Paso Doble during the series, alongside some selfies of himself holding up some lateral flow tests. The star looked devastated in the photos that he shared, pulling a pouting face in one of the snaps, as he styled out a grey hoodie.
"So sad to be missing a portion of the Strictly Live Tour, but unfortunately I tested Positive for COVID-19," he wrote at the time.
"Lots of luck to all the amazing Strictly Cast. Will be back as soon as I can :)"
