Awkward: Kerry Katona poses romantically with Dancing On Ice partner Dan Whiston in a London park... but just looks uncomfortable Viewers who thought Strictly was bad for splitting up couples will have been astonished by the level of pairing up going on this series in Dancing On Ice.
Long hours spent intimately in each other's company seemed to have set Cupid off - with no fewer than three sets of contestants attracting rumours of romance.
And what's this, a fourth couple caught canoodling off-duty on a park bench in London?
It's Kerry Katona and Dan Whiston, but they won't be fooling anyone with their 'loved up' poses designed to attract positive publicity.
Surely it cannot be any coincidence that days ago Kerry was named as the 'other woman' in a divorce petition.
Convincing? The pair had an animated discussion, sitting as close to one another as possibleKerry and Dan were dressed casually in tracksuits for their park excursion after their training session, Kerry accessorising with red woollen gloves and a yellow scarf.
Perhaps overheated after working up a sweat on the ice, the pair decided to have a stroll through the park and take a seat on a bench, despite the temperature being in the single digits.
Professional skater Dan, 34, wrapped an arm around Kerry's shoulders and showed her something on his phone, while the 30-year-old reality star leaned awkwardly into his chest.
A right laugh: The reality star and professional skater seemed to be enjoying their al fresco chat, despite the bitterly cold London weatherAfter chatting for a few minutes on the park bench, and Kerry told an animated story, the duo stood up and walked off again, with the mother-of-four placing a hand on her love interest's stomach.
Rather than coming off as an in-love couple, at ease in each other's company, the whole scene appears staged and unnatural.
Little wonder, given the sensational story that dominated the headlines over the weekend.
Good timing: The romance comes as accusations that emerged this weekend naming Katona as the 'other woman' in her personal trainer's divorcesource: dailymail
