Strictly Come Dancing star Brendan Cole has slammed claims his wife has banned him from contacting dancer Jenna Lee-James amid reports of marriage problems.

Brendan Cole has reportedly denied the claims that his wife Zoe Hobbs has forbidden him from contacting his dancer friend Jenna Lee-James after pictures surfaced of the two of them looking close.

The former Strictly dancer was snapped with his hand on Jenna's bum last week, after weeks of speculation his marriage had come under strain.

It was then claimed Zoe had given Brendan, 42, and ultimatum and banned him from speaking to the dancer.

"The pair of them both want to work on their marriage and she believes it's for the best," a source told The Sun.

"Jenna is still protesting her innocence but Brendan would rather not bring the whole situation back up at the moment and is sticking to the rules."

This comes after Zoe, 41, issued Brendan with a 'party ban' back in March, following the birth of their son Dante.

Speaking at the time, he told the newspaper: "I had to stop going out at night. It’s been very quiet on the home front. We’ve just had a baby boy. Two weeks he’s been on the scene.

"He is gorgeous, of course, but it’s been a hard couple of weeks. Sleepless nights take their toll."
