How Strictly's popular dancers have ended up in debt - as Kristina Rihanoff's financial difficulties are blamed for split from Ben Cohen


For viewers tuning into BBC 's megahit Strictly Come Dancing, they would be right in assuming that its stars must be earning a hefty fortune.

Giving evidence during the case, England World Cup winning rugby star Ben, 46, admitted he had bungled the handling of their car insurance policy and told how he was 'fighting to save his relationship and home’. The dancer was found dead in a London hotel in February last year, and in the wake of his passing it was revealed his firm had not traded for some time and according to Companies House Records was facing an 'active proposal' to be struck off. In the months prior to his death, Robin had been working on a Fred Olsen Cruise - alongside fellow Strictly professional Gordana Grandosek Whiddon - and posted pictures of himself when the boat docked in South Africa.
