back at 'Strictly curse' rumours as she branded them "offensive". The 39 year old former Hollyoaks star is engaged to Strictly Come Dancing pro Gorka Marquez, 33, and the pair share two children together.

The 'Strictly curse' was penned after some show stars have ended up in a relationship with their pro partners, with romance developing due to the long periods of time spent together training, and the closeness of the dancing. Gorka is still one of Strictly's best-loved professionals but the BBC show's gruelling schedule makes it hard for him to spend time with his family while competing in the series. The ballroom and latin dancer trains with a celebrity partner Monday to Friday, and is then busy with the live show on Saturdays, making Sunday his only day off.
