Nazaire joked the headlines of a romance were "terrible" and he explained that the dances looking "romantic" was purely down to how hard the pair were working on getting everything right for Dancing on Ice.
He said: "You know what for me from the get go we started this whole experience i wanted to show how much work we put into this.

The Dancing on Ice competitor said the dances were both "romantic and emotional", leading him to understand how it could look like the pair are falling in love. He concluded, "I understand why the public are thinking, is there something there?"
Bauer said she was glad that the fun they were having behind the scenes was showing in their dances. Plus, she added: "From a pro point of view... I always said from very beginning, 'Just remember this is tough, it's a lot of pressure, keep the fun, keep having fun."
Nazaire said: "We laugh so much."

The Dancing on Ice pair opened up on their secrets to success on the ice. Nazaire praised Bauer for trusting him with the tricky lifts on the ice and he shared his love for ice skating.
