“But they still want him on the show for potentially the series after next.”

Kelvin was partnered with Oti Mabuse on the show and stunned the judges and audience with his sexy samba from the off.

The 35-year-old raised the temperature in the Strictly ballroom to boiling point with his sizzling performance.

Strictly Come Dancing’s Kelvin Fletcher gives show-stopping performance in ‘best ever’ debut dance routine

Bruno Tonioli even called it the best opening Samba he’d seen in 15 years of being a telly judge.

And it was reflected in the scoring, with Kelvin and Oti scoring a leaderboard topping 32 points.

Having already admitted to catching the dancing bug, Kelvin could be keen on going straight into training for the ice.

He’d be skating alongside Michael Barrymore,  Maura Higgins and Ian ‘H’ Watkins who have all signed up.

Kelvin was drafted in as a last-minute replacement for Strictly following Jamie Laing’s injury.

The Made in Chelsea star was left in agony after landing awkwardly during the group dance on the pre-recorded opening show.

Kelvin has been making sure he does everything to keep his strength up for Strictly.

Despite eating 3,000 calories a day, he’s lost 11lbs by getting up at 5am to workout before a full day of dance rehearsals.
