Has the Strictly curse struck again?

This series has seen MAJOR Strictly drama after comedian Seann Walsh was photographed kissing his dance partner Katya Jones, whose husband Neil is also a dancer on the show. His girlfriend, Rebecca Humphries, then publicly dumped him with a brutally honest Twitter post.

Although Katya and Neil have publicly confirmed that the kiss will not affect their marriage, it turns out that Seann's relationship isn't the only one to have been claimed by the 'Curse' this series.

Apparently, professional dancer Dianne Buswell has split from herEmmerdale actor boyfriend Anthony Quinlan, who plays Pete Barton on the soap, after he was reportedly worried about how "close" she was getting to her dance partner, YouTuber Joe Sugg,

A source told The Sun: "Everyone on set's been discussing how close they'd become. It did not go unnoticed by Anthony."

The couple apparently took a break earlier this year due to the long distance, but have now split for good after ten months together.

The source said: "They are quite a fiery pair and have been clashing a bit more than often lately. A couple of weeks ago they just decided enough was enough and ended things - it was only a few days after the Katya and Seann pictures emerged."
