The curse continues as yet another star of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing has announced they are separating from their spouse.
The latest couple to be struck down are Ben Cohen and his wife Abby, who have announced that they are “taking some time apart”.
Ben appeared on Strictly last year, paired with Kristina Rihanoff, and was the eighth celeb to be voted off.
There have been rumours that the former rugby star has been seeing his television dance partner after the two were spotted together, but a spokesperson for the couple was quick to deny affair allegations.
“Ben and Abby Cohen have agreed to take time apart to deal with some marital issues but remain fully committed to the welfare of their children.” The representative said.
“There is no third party involved, and Ben and Abby now ask that their privacy and that of their family be respected at this difficult time.”
The couple had been together for nearly 20 years, meeting in 1995 and marrying eight years later in 2003. They have two twin daughters, Harriett and Isabelle, who were born in 2008.
