Strictly star finds love with boxer after being linked to dance pro

A STRICTLY Come Dancing star has found love with a boxer after being linked with a BBC show pro. The Paralympian, 32, has showcased her new romance in a cute video posted to her Instagram grid. 6 6 6 It showed her stripped to a blue bikini holding her man's hand as they strolled into the crystal-clear sea in Sardinia. Back in 2019, Lauren Steadman, 32, was linked to her Strictly partner AJ Pritchard after their "romantic" routines on-stage. Yet now Lauren, who reached the semi-final of the 2018 series with AJ, has found love with a boxer known as Bradley. He appears to keep a low profile not being tagged on her account, yet he appears in both their sweet holiday clip and a post showing them boxing together. Lauren wrote in her holiday caption: "Pausing to make time. "It actually looks like Bradley is just entertaining my morning waffle. "Between my training and his boxing coaching time has been limited but 20mins every morning at the beach has been well worth it." Her followers were quick to react to the post, which showed the pair loved up and holding hands. One wrote: " Awwwwwww my sweeetiee piessss." Lauren Steadman and DJ Locksmith are crowned as co-winner of Channel 4's Celebrity SAS- Who Dares Wins A second put: "This makes me happy. Just saying." A third then gushed: "Great news!!!!!" MOVING ON Since Strictly, Lauren went on to be crowned a co-winner of gritty reality series Celeb SAS. Yet prior to this, she and AJ had been wowing audiences around the country for the last few weeks with their routines as part of the Strictly live tour. After Lauren and AJ performed their touching Viennese Waltz to You Are The Reason by Calum Scott, judge at the time Darcey Bussell praised Lauren on how much her dancing had improved. She then added they had brought "plenty of romance" to their performance, which appeared to make the pair blush and squirm a little. Host Ore Oduba then added fuel to the fire, saying Darcey was "reading between the dance lines", causing the audience to 'ooh', 'ahh' and whistle their approval. It wasn't the first time AJ and Lauren had been romantically linked, as during their series, AJ hinted there could be more than friendship between them. He told The Mirror at the time: "I am very protective of her because we have worked so closely together. 'There are different things that she will talk about in training that she would never talk about on camera." Yet the world champion Paralympic athlete had her eyes on the prize as she celebrated "normalising disabilities" on the prime time BBC show. She and dance partner AJ often had to find new ways to do routines because Lauren was born missing her lower right arm. Alongside this, Lauren had to compete against celebrities like Ashley Roberts and Faye Tozer who were already professionally-trained dancers. 6 6 6

Potter claims triathlon silver in Yokohama

Olympic triathlon double bronze medallist Beth Potter returned to action with second place in the World Triathlon Championship Series in Yokohama. Potter, who was 14th for Great Britain over 10km in last month's European Road Running Championships, finished four seconds behind Luxembourg's Jeanne Lehair with Germany's Lisa Tertsch in third, two seconds back. Reigning Olympic and world champion Cassandre Beaugrand of France crashed out on lap six of the bike leg. Therese Feuersinger of Austria held a narrow lead over Tertsch and Lehair after the swim, with Potter and Beaugrand 14 seconds behind. Weather conditions resulted in a changed bike course and Potter and the chasing group caught up with the leaders by lap three. Lehair went clear in the run and held on for victory, despite the Briton running the fastest run leg in the race. In the Para races, Tokyo gold medallist and Paris bronze medallist Lauren Steadman was a comfortable winner of the women's PT5 category, with Michael Taylor taking silver in the men's PT4 behind French star Alexis Hanquinquant.
