If you’re a Strictly Come Dancing fan, you’ll know about the series’ supposed ‘curse’.

The Strictly curse, as it is known, refers to contestants – who are already in a relationship – who find themselves falling for other participants taking part in Strictly.

Seann Walsh, Stacey Dooley, and many others have found themselves affected by the curse over the years, which has been blamed for ending at least 21 relationships over the show’s two-decade history.

Still, one new dancer is confident their relationship is strong enough to survive a trip to the ballroom.

Dani Dyer, 29, has said she’s not worried at all about having her head turned while away from husband Jarrod Bowen, 28.

‘No! Jarrod’s so chill,’ she told The Sun. ‘We aren’t worried. There is no Strictly Curse. As soon as me and Jarrod met, we just gelled.’

‘We get on so well, and I’ve always wanted to have a nice, chilled and easy relationship.

‘If we have a problem, we talk about it. I can’t be bothered with games, and when I met him, there was none of that. I’m just so glad I got a good prince at the end. Finally!’

Dani also explained how excited she was to be taking part in Strictly, admitting she never thought she’d be asked, but it’s a welcome challenge.

Strictly has been hit by a wave of scandals in recent months. Most notably, a former star has been arrested on suspicion of rape.

‘On Friday 22 August officers arrested a man in his 30s in east London on suspicion of rape and non-consensual intimate image abuse,’ the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

‘This is a joint investigation with Hertfordshire Constabulary, and while the investigation is in its early stages, we urge anyone with any information to come forward to us quoting 8479/22AUG.

‘Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or by submitting an online form.’

Meanwhile, another star has become involved in a drugs probe and has been suspected of drinking while working on the show.
