Whittle, who plays Calvin Valentine on the Channel 4 teen drama, has won praise from the judges after progressing well in training sessions with his ballroom partner Natalie Lowe in recent weeks.
Stenson, best known for her soap role as Steph Cunningham, told New magazine: "I don't see it as 'my boyfriend and another girl'. I see it as Ricky and Natalie dancing professionally.
"I don't find it threatening at all. I used to dance myself, so I find it beautiful to watch."
The 27-year-old added that the experience is no different to seeing her lover's on-screen Hollyoaks romances.
Whittle and Lowe are currently the bookies' favourites to win the contest.
