Schneider: 'DWTS sexual tension is good'

Melinda Schneider has revealed that it is great to have sexual tension with your partner on Dancing With The Stars.

The award-winning Australian singer, who was eliminated from the reality TV show earlier this week along with her partner Serghei Bolgarschii, said that you are bound to be a better performer if you are sleeping with the person you are dancing with.

Schneider told The Daily Telegraph: "It's better if you did have an attraction and did sleep with them, keeping the sexual tension there can make you a better dancer and then you can do what you like after that.

"The chemistry [is] in the body... It's what happens with dancing, it's a very intimate thing, so it's not unusual to be attracted to them in what I call the 'tour bubble' of a TV show.

"If there is an attraction it can often blossom. But I'm in a happy relationship and Serghei is engaged so there was no physical attraction which we were happy about."

Schneider's fellow contestant Rachael Finch recently revealed that she is dating her partner Michael Miziner.
