"The network asked them to tone down the sexual undertones," a source close to the pair told RadarOnline.com exclusively. "They know there is a spark there -- everyone is talking about their amazing chemistry."

DWTS veteran and hoofing hottie Lacey teamed up with Loveline's "Psycho" Mike for the foxtrot on the season 12 premiere which landed them the lowest scores of the night.

But, although they're still perfecting their moves in the ballroom, they don't need any help off-camera it seems.

The twosome haven't been shy about their flirty feelings for each other, with Mike joking "the best part about the routine was grabbing her butt," said our source, and Lacey telling RadarOnline.com: "we would make a great couple" and admitting she seen "every part of his body."

And their attention for each other is definitely getting the network's attention, if not the judges' votes.

Lacey told RadarOnline.com that Mike does have a girlfriend, but our source says that he and his girlfriend are "on the rocks."

I also don't know why every season people have to talk about the private lives of the stars and the dancers. The point of the show is dancing so focus on the dancing and not their private lives!

I don't think Lacey and Mike were that bad and her hair is not bad either. It is professionally done not trashy like everyone thinks. It is a style!

I dont care for this girl. She looks very very cheap and common, just so unlike the rest of the dancers. Dont care for her, never did, never will.

She is SO not my favorite, in fact, my very least favorite of all the seasons. She just does not blend with the other dancers, who are more refined, and classy. She is more low budget valley girl, if ya know what I mean.

I agree-first thing I saw was her hair. Next: that dress looked like a huge piece of draped aluminum foil. But, I like her too. He's a riot-and right: he cannot dance. Stiff as a board. But handsome in the face!

Lacey's HAIR IS GROSS!!! They will be voted off Tuesday. Mike thought it was funny to insult the Russian community but many do not know he was playing a part. Mike canNOT dance, LOL But he is HOT. I would like to grab his butt too.

There dance was no more sexual than the other dancers. They were okay. Agreed Lacey needs her hair cut and colored and styled professionally. She looked a little rough. He is kinda creepy short arms and small hands and feet...
