Strictly Come Dancing star breaks silence on show’s infamous ‘curse’ and says it is only ‘natural’
A Strictly Come Dancing star has broken their silence on the show’s infamous ‘curse’.
The BBC dancing show is famous for the sizzling connections between celebrities and professionals – heightened by long hours of training together and pulling off sexy and romantic moves.
But this has led to a dark side to the show as the irresistible bonds formed have been the ruin of many a long-term relationship.
Ever since the show began in 2004, a string of scandalous break-ups have occurred 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, revealing it is only ‘natural’ and is impossible to stop.

He told The Mirror: ‘You spend so much time with this person and you know at the end of the day, we’re only humans. If you fancy someone, if you fall in love with somebody, let it be.
‘This is just a natural thing you spend so much time, so many hours with this person.
‘Dancers are sexy, we take care of ourselves, the way we move, we’re almost like a fantasy. You get to know that person and you fall in love with them, what can you do, you can’t stop it!’
He added that dances such as the Tango and the Rumba mean the two individuals will be even closer together due to the sensual nature of the routines.
Vincent’s take may seem surprising as he himself was once victim to the notorious love curse.
On the 2007 series, Vincent was in a long-term relationship with his dance partner Flavia Cacace.
She was then partnered with Matt Di Angelo in 2007, who was eight years her junior.
Shortly after the show finished she called time on her romance with Vincent and went public with Matt.

Looking back at their partnership, Matt told Daily Mail: ‘It was a pretty crazy time. It was front page news.
‘The funny thing was the story did not start off as true, but the more you read it, the more you started to believe it and actually act on it.’
In the current season of the BBC dancing show, Coronation Street’s Ellie Leach and her pro partner Vito Coppola have been surrounded by speculation from the start as potential contenders for the curse.
The pair have sparked much speculation over the nature of their relationship after appearing cosy in rehearsals, with Vito even calling Ellie ‘my baby’ in an Instagram post.
This week they put on a very steamy display on Tuesday as they trained for Saturday’s Strictly Come Dancing semi-final.
Vito was even snapped whipping off his shirt as things became more intense during the saucy session.
The two appeared closer than ever, with intense eye contact and close proximity to one another.
What’s more – Ellie is said to have split from her boyfriend of five years in May, and has seen Strictly as a way to heal her heartbreak.
The semi-final results of Strictly will air on Sunday night, with the final looming next weekend.
The remaining celebrities are Bobby Brazier, Annabel Croft, Nikita Kuzmin and Ellie Leach.
