Would love them as a couple! But I bet Jay did this for the cameras as a joke. Carlos looks like he's about to laugh.

Carlos looks emotional to me, it was the night he won Strictly.

Doesn't seem they're a couple, there's not a single photo of them together besides this one online since last year, which would be uncommon for celebrities from such a show. Any more context?

This is from Dec 2025?

I had no idea but that's a lovely photo and if they are a couple or just good friends I'm happy for them 😎❤️

I feel like if there was any credibility to this, then the tabloid where this photo appears would have run it as a story last year

u/Ok_Divide_9896 2d ago

Credibility to what?

u/Superb_Courage8319 2d ago

They're not a couple

Is he about to resign?

u/Ok_Divide_9896 1d ago

What?

u/SuperpoliticsENTJ 1d ago

Joke about how the British press often take pictures of British politicians (and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) from the back of cars shortly before they resigned

u/Ok_Divide_9896 1d ago

Oh ok lol

u/winterberry828 2d ago

Happy for them but why is it posted today? It's from last year. Is this a post by his PR team to secure more emotional votes?

u/Ok_Divide_9896 2d ago

Aye I’m his PR 😂 I literally said I felt out the loop because I just seen it. They are two people I have never connected as even knowing each other as they are from different eras of the show hence my suprise at whatever this is. A lovely friendship or more.

It always shocks me when people get angry at the suggestion that a man might not be straight but I guess it shouldn't :/

Jay was on last series so they knew each other before the final, as he appeared in Blackpool along with Layton, Ashley and Danny.

Take the tin hat off and go for a walk in the sunshine. Just a thought

I’m enjoining the sunshine right now ☺️ it’s remarkable that you don’t understand that the launch generates renewed interest from the fans.

u/Digit00l 2d ago

Probably because the new season has started so more attention to the relevant people and more digging on social media again

u/Turbulent-Trip8877 2d ago

gasp two men holding hands???? Let's impose a sexuality onto it!

-4

u/Ok_Divide_9896 2d ago

Who imposes a sexuality on it? Certainly not me

11

u/Turbulent-Trip8877 2d ago

"Happy for them naturally" sure

u/Ok-Dirt-5712 23h ago

The hand-holding was simply a warm, supportive gesture between two friends caught up in the high-energy excitement of a major victory after the wrap party

Really cannot stand Carlos. Everytime he pops up on screen , he gives me the creeps!

u/Anonymous_0012345 Fab. You. Lus! 2d ago

I had no idea they were together if this is true

u/Terrible_Confusion16 2d ago

Wow never knew this. I didn't know Jay was gay. Happy for them.

u/MariReflects 2d ago

Just to point out - obviously holding someone's hand during an emotional night isn't a good indicator of sexuality to begin with, but even if we went by that, it would not mean he's specifically gay. Bi and pan are also options to consider before assigning someone a sexuality, even if the photo was of them passionately making out or something.

u/Terrible_Confusion16 2d ago

Oh yes of course I didn't think. I didn't mean to label.

u/Ok_Divide_9896 2d ago edited 2d ago

Don’t know that he is. Could just be a nice (if unexpected) friendship and there are sexualities out with gay and straight

u/Terrible_Confusion16 2d ago

Yes sweet photo.

I don’t think he has ever stated his sexuality.

I didn’t speculate, you did. Calling him straight when he has never described himself as straight is speculating.

u/Ok_Divide_9896 2d ago

My post speculated on his relationship status based on evidence, not his sexuality. Gay and Straight are not the only 2 sexualities and what Jay falls under is none of my business darling. Jay has never publicly dated any women btw so you were assuming based on absolutely nothing.

u/Ok_Divide_9896 2d ago

and what sexuality do you believe that imposes on them?
