Popular Welsh drag queen and Dancing On Ice Star The Vivienne has shut down any rumours that her marriage break-up was a result of her friendship with her Dancing on Ice professional partner. The star, who confirmed earlier on Friday, April 14 that she and her husband of three years David had split up, has now issued an update to put an end to speculation that her partnership with pro ice-dancer Colin Grafton was to blame for her and David's break-up.
Adding a comment to her earlier post on Instagram, The Vivienne wrote: "And just everybody knows as I’m already seeing tweets. This has nothing do with Colin my Dancing On Ice partner. We are very good friends and never involved romantically, Colin is in a relationship. Thank you".
The comment comes after some jumped onto The Vivienne's earlier post announcing her break-up - which you can read more about here - and blamed the so-called 'Dancing on Ice curse'. The 'curse' is the belief that competition series like Dancing on Ice and Strictly Come Dancing are to blame for relationship and marriage fallouts, either because celebrity competitors have got close with, or fallen for, their professional partners and have ditched their real-life partners for them - or because of the stress and long-hours celebrity contestants have to put in for the programmes.
