YouTuber George Clarke has confirmed he is in a relationship with lingerie model Yasmin Amelia, just as he is announced as a contestant on this year's Strictly Come Dancing. The 25-year-old, known for his comedy content and appearance on Netflix's Inside, made the revelation during a livestream.
Fans quickly identified Amelia, who is signed to J'adore Models and has 30,000 Instagram followers. Clarke had previously kept his love life private, often joking about his single status. On Reddit, viewers discussed the news, with one noting his desire for privacy, while others speculated on the timing ahead of Strictly.
The announcement has sparked chatter about the so-called 'Strictly curse', as the show has famously led to romances among contestants and professionals. Past couples include Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell, Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez, and Rachel Riley and Pasha Kovalev.
Clarke received support from fellow online star Joe Sugg, who commented on his Strictly announcement: 'YES @georgeclarkeey, this is going to be brilliant.' Clarke replied humorously about his dancing skills, and Sugg promised to send a video from his own first rehearsal, saying 'miracles can happen'.
