'DWTS' Brand, Hatcher confirm romance

Dancing With The Stars contestant Adam Brand and his dance partner Jade Hatcher have spoken about how they fell in love during the filming of the show.

The country music singer, who won the Australian reality series in September, initially denied that he was in a relationship with 19-year-old Hatcher.

Brand told New Idea magazine: "We love each other's company, and it just simply works. We're very happy... and when something is right, it just happens naturally - it all falls into place."

The 39-year-old continued: "There were so many times after training when Jade would put on some music and just start dancing. I would sit there and just be absolutely mesmerised. I could not take my eyes off her."

Brand also mentioned their 20-year age gap, saying: "There's no age gap even though there is one physically. Most of the time I feel like the younger one in our relationship - Jade is much older than her years."

Hatcher added: "The people close to us just want us to be happy."
