Strictly Come Dancing - Judge reckons Brendan Cole fancies Kelly Brook

26 October 2007 - Brendan Cole is "lusting" for his Strictly Come Dancing partner Kelly Brook, one of the show's judges has claimed.

"Brendan normally salivates after his dance partners, but I've never seen him happier than I have with Kelly Brook. He's lusting after her like mad," judge Craig Revel Horwood told the Daily Mail.

He added: "Kelly's no fool behind all that upholstery but thank God she's engaged to Billy Zane who is always in the front row watching every single movement of Brendan's hands."

Craig confessed that he finds Brendan "deeply irritating" due to his large ego and tendency to question the judges' decisions.

In the past, New Zealand-born Brendan has dated Lady Victoria Hervey and Abi Titmuss.

His engagement to Camilla Dallerup reportedly ended after he and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Natasha Kaplinsky got close, though both of them denied a relationship.

Meanwhile, Kelly recently admitted to Jonathan Ross that she had originally asked not to be partnered with Brendan because of his playboy reputation.

However, she said that it was likely that he has enough women already to keep him occupied, which meant that boyfriend Billy would have nothing to worry about.
