Strictly Come Dancing has not just launched the careers of its contestants over the last 20 years – it’s also given a number of celebrities their romantic partners. Now, judge Craig Revel Horwood wants these love affairs to stop being seen as “Strictly scandals”, saying that he wants people “to fall in love” if it’s the right time in their lives.
In recent years, we’ve seen the likes of Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton, Ben Cohen and Kristina Rihanoff, and Joe Sugg and Diane Buswell among other couples become romantically involved after competing on the show together.
