Strictly's Karim Zeroual passionately kisses girlfriend Poppy Hannah Birtwistle as they puff on cigarettes during boozy date night before live show... amid dance-off drama
He narrowly escaped being axed from Strictly Come Dancing last week, when judges chose to send Saffron Barker home after the pair faced a dramatic dance-off.
But, Karim Zeroual, 25, appeared to be unfazed about being in the bottom two, as he puffed on cigarettes during a boozy date with Poppy Hannah Birtwistle on Friday - the night before the next live show.
The CBBC Presenter was seen passionately kissing his Manchester University student girlfriend in between downing bottles of beer and chain smoking at his London hotel.

Karim opted for a casual look, with a navy and white striped sweater and a denim gilet, while Poppy wore a sheer black polka dot garment for their date night.
According to The Sun Karim and Poppy have been together for three years, but decided to keep their relationship out of the spotlight when Karim's CBBC career started to take off, but she has met his Strictly dance partner Amy Dowden.
A source told the publication: 'Karim was really keen to involve Poppy in his training and wanted her to meet Amy to make sure she felt comfortable.
'They got on really well which is great because Karim knows he'll be spending long hours with Amy and he wants Poppy to feel secure about it.'

Men! Copy Karim in a workwear gilet this season
We've become so used to seeing Karim Zeroual in his Strictly Come Dancing get-ups, that we really didn't have an idea of how he dresses in his real life.
But he was spotted out for drinks with his girlfriend and now we can see he's a streetwear fan. The presenter, actor and now dancer, looked cool and collected in this workwear gilet by urban brand Stüssy, layered over a Breton top.
And we've got to say that while he suits sequins and crazy ballroom outfits, we like this youthful look on him. And the utility trend is huge in menswear right now, so nice work Karim.
His gilet has sold out but you can shop the label at Selfridges by clicking to the right or bag a similar sleeveless jacket from our top picks below. From Moncler to ASOS, we've got all budgets covered.

Despite making it through to this week's live show, in last week's dance-off Karim's Contemporary Couples Choice to the tune of Drops Of Jupiter by With Confidence wasn't delivered with enough emotion, according to Craig Revel Horwood.
He said: 'I thought it was engaging, I thought it had great leaps great turns but I have to say I think at the moment you're a technician, not an actor and that bothers me.
'It could have been a lot more, I think it is lacking emotional content.

'I want you to fly I am desperate to get a ten out for you, but I battling with the fact that your technique is overpowering what you're trying to say.'
Karim clearly took the comments on board for the dance-off with his professional dance partner Amy Dowden on Sunday.
After the couple repeated their routine all four judges unanimously voted to save the CBBC presenter.
