Strictly Ellie Taylor's husband and why Jennifer Aniston and Madonna are big fans

Ellie Taylor is one of the 15 celebrities taking to the dancefloor for this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing, and she'll be hoping to lift the Glitterball Trophy at the end of the glitzy BBC show with the help of professional dance partner Johannes Radebe.

The model-turned-comedian will no doubt also have the full support of her three-year-old daughter Valentina and her husband Phil Black as she prepares to dance the Paso Doble with Johannes this weekend, despite previously making jokes about the so-called "Strictly curse" during a viral clip from BBC Two's satirical show, The Mash Report, four years ago.

The "curse" is often blamed for the collapse of stars' relationships after they appear on the show, but Ellie has since insisted that she doesn't believe in it herself.
