Beloved EastEnders actress Jo Joyner has felt compelled to address swirling gossip about her relationship with her Strictly Come Dancing professional partner, putting the record straight once and for all.
In a candid statement, Joyner made it abundantly clear that her partnership remains strictly professional. She emphasised her deep love and commitment to her husband of many years, quashing any notion of a backstage romance.
The Source of the Speculation
The rumours appear to have stemmed from the natural chemistry and close working relationship required to compete on the hit BBC dance show. Joyner explained that spending long hours in training is essential for success, but it should not be misconstrued as anything more than a strong professional bond.
'We have a fantastic time together, but my heart belongs to my family,' Joyner stated, highlighting the potential damage such unfounded gossip can cause to real-life relationships.
A Firm Rebuttal
Joyner's message was direct and left no room for ambiguity. She expressed frustration that innocent friendships in the public eye are often sensationalised, taking a toll on those involved.
Her priority, she affirmed, is protecting her marriage and the privacy of her loved ones, while still enjoying the incredible experience that Strictly Come Dancing offers.
