Strictly Come Dancing star breaks silence on show’s infamous ‘curse’ and says it is only ‘natural’

The Strictly Come Dancing star has broken her silence on the show’s infamous “curse.”

The BBC dance show is renowned for the intense connections between celebrities and professionals, enhanced by long hours of training together and performing sexy and romantic moves.

But this led to the show’s dark side, as the unbreakable bonds that formed destroyed many long-term relationships.

Since the show began in 2004, there have been a string of controversial breakups both during and after the series.

Vincent Simone, who was a dancer on the show until 2012, has now shed light on the notorious curse, saying it is “natural” and cannot be stopped.

He said Mirror: “You spend so much time with this person and you realize that at the end of the day we are just people. If you like someone, if you fall in love with someone, then so be it.

“It’s just natural that you spend so much time, so many hours with this person.

“Dancers are sexy, we take care of ourselves, the way we move is almost like a fantasy. You will get to know this person and fall in love with him, what can you do, you won’t be able to stop it!”

He added that dances such as tango and rumba mean the two people will be even closer to each other due to the sensual nature of the numbers.

Vincent’s position may seem unexpected, since he himself once became a victim of the notorious love curse.

In the 2007 series, Vincent was in a long-term relationship with his dance partner Flavia Cacace.

Then in 2007, she partnered with Matt DiAngelo, who was eight years her junior.

Shortly after the show ended, she ended her romance with Vincent and went public with information about Matt.

Vincent's take may come as a surprise since he himself was once a victim of the notorious love curse (pictured with ex Flavia Cacace).

Reflecting on their partnership, Matt told the Daily Mail: “It was a pretty crazy time. It was front page news.

“The funny thing is that this story was not true to begin with, but the more you read it, the more you began to believe it and act on it.”

The current season of the BBC dance show Coronation Street’s Ellie Leach and her professional partner Vito Coppola have been surrounded by speculation from the start as potential candidates for the curse.

The pair sparked much speculation over the nature of their relationship after looking cozy at rehearsals, with Vito even calling Ellie “my baby” in an Instagram post.

They put in a very strong performance on Tuesday this week as they prepare for Saturday’s Strictly Come Dancing semi-finals.

Vito even had his shirt taken off as things got even more tense during the cheeky session.

The two seemed closer than ever, with intense eye contact and close proximity to each other.

What’s more, Ellie is said to have split from her boyfriend of five years in May and was looking at Strictly as a way to heal her grief.

The Strictly semi-final results will be shown on Sunday night, with the final taking place next weekend.

Other celebrities include Bobby Brazier, Annabelle Croft, Nikita Kuzmin and Ellie Leach.

Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola have been the subject of much speculation this year.
