The Strictly Come Dancing curse, where participants in the show find their pre-Strictly relationships flounder during filming, has struck again for this year’s celebrity contestant Tom Dean

Celebrity couple Louise and Jamie Redknapp also broke up after she appeared on the show, while pro dancers Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace were also together until Flavia ended the relationship and began dating her celebrity partner on the show, Matt Di Angelo. Most notoriously of all, of course, was the shared kiss between dance partners Katya Jones and comedian Seann Walsh in 2018, that took place despite both of them being in long term relationships at the time.
