Oliver Cheshire downplays Strictly Come Dancing curse


Pixie Lott’s boyfriend isn’t worried about the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ "curse".

The 23-year-old singer is currently taking part in the BBC One celebrity dance contest – which has spawned numerous romances between people who were in relationships during their time on the show – but male model Oliver Cheshire insists he doesn’t feel threatened by his girlfriend’s partner, Trent Whiddon.

He told The Sun newspaper: "I’ve heard about the curse, but I’m alright. I’m not really worried."

Oliver also described his girlfriend’s dance partner as "a really nice bloke".

The couple – who have been dating for four years – recently joined Trent and his dancer wife Gordana Grandosek on a double date.

They were all seen at Prince Harry’s WellChild Awards in London on Monday (22.09.14).

Talk of a "Strictly curse" has increased in recent weeks after it emerged ‘Countdown’ beauty Rachel Riley – who split from her husband during last year’s series – had begun dating her dance partner Pasha Kovalev.

Rumours of a romance between Ben Cohen and his 2013 partner Kristina Rihanoff was also rife last week after he announced he’d split from wife Abby.

‘Good Morning Britain’ presenter Susanna Reid also split from husband Dominic Cotton during her stint on the show.
