A well-known Strictly Come Dancing star has opened up about the so-called 'Strictly curse', shedding light on the rumours that have plagued the hit BBC show for years. The phenomenon, where contestants' relationships reportedly suffer due to their intense dance rehearsals, has been a hot topic among fans.
What is the 'Strictly Curse'?
The 'Strictly curse' refers to the alleged trend of celebrities and their partners splitting up after one of them takes part in the show. The close bonds formed during gruelling training sessions and live performances have often been blamed for relationship breakdowns.
The Star's Honest Take
In a candid interview, the Strictly professional shared their perspective, saying, "It's not about the show itself—it's about the time and emotional investment. When you spend hours rehearsing with someone, it's natural to form a strong connection."
They added, "But to call it a 'curse' is unfair. Relationships change for many reasons, and Strictly just happens to be a high-pressure environment."
How Do Couples Cope?
The star revealed that many contestants and their partners take proactive steps to maintain their relationships during the show:
- Regular check-ins and open communication
- Involving partners in rehearsals when possible
- Setting clear boundaries with dance partners
Despite the challenges, many couples emerge stronger after the Strictly experience. "It's all about trust and understanding," the professional concluded.
