Love Island sensation Dani Dyer has been spotted making her way to Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals, fuelling intense speculation about whether she might fall victim to the show's notorious 'curse'.
The 27-year-old reality star, daughter of EastEnders actor Danny Dyer, looked focused and stylish as she arrived at the BBC studios, ready to begin intensive dance training for the upcoming launch show.
Dyer cut a casual yet chic figure in a black cropped top paired with matching leggings, accessorising with large sunglasses and carrying a substantial green holdall, presumably filled with rehearsal essentials.
Her appearance comes amidst widespread discussion about the Strictly 'curse' – the phenomenon where contestants' relationships often falter during their time on the glittering dance competition.
The television personality is currently in a relationship with West Ham United footballer Jarrod Bowen, with whom she shares twin daughters. Their relationship will undoubtedly be tested by the demanding rehearsal schedule and intense partnership with a professional dancer.
Dani is set to appear in a special pre-recorded segment for the Strictly launch show, though it remains unconfirmed whether she will be participating in the full series this year.
The 'Strictly curse' has become legendary in British television folklore, having affected numerous high-profile couples throughout the show's history. The intense time commitments and physically intimate nature of dance routines have been cited as contributing factors to relationship breakdowns.
Fans and commentators alike will be watching closely to see how Dani navigates the pressure cooker environment of Strictly Come Dancing while maintaining her relationship with Premier League star Bowen.
The new series of Strictly Come Dancing is set to premiere on BBC One in the coming weeks, promising its usual mix of glittering costumes, spectacular routines, and behind-the-scenes drama.
