Strictly Come Dancing's John Whaite says his relationship is stronger now him and his fiancé are more "independent" from each other.
John and his partner Paul met on Facebook in 2008 and nine years later, in 2017, the pair decided to get engaged. Opening up about their relationship, John discussed that "growing apart" actually made the pair stronger.
During an appearance on Channel 4 show Steph's Packed Lunch, John made the omission as he and the other panellists discussed financial independence from their partners.
