Home and Away star Esther Anderson has insisted that she has no plans to date her Dancing With The Stars partner Brendan Midson.

The pair have recently been spending 12 to 15 hours per week in training together as they prepare for the launch of the Seven Network's reality contest.

Asked by TV Week whether their professional partnership could develop into something more, Anderson replied: "No, no, no, no, no!"

However, the single actress did confirm that she enjoys Midson's company when they practise together.

She said: "He's great - I'm so grateful I got him. He gave me a foot massage the other day - my feet were killing me - and he's rubbing my feet and rubbing my calves and he brought me muesli bars, mints and band-aids. Everything I needed, he had."

Dancing With The Stars returns to Seven on June 27.
