I don't usually watch strictly (I don't watch love island either btw..) but I did happen to be watching it a couple of weeks ago, I guess it's the sort of family friendly TV program you can end up watching if round at parents house or going to a friends house for dinner/drinks and hanging around for a bit in the lounge etc.. when kids are about etc..
Anyway the show is essentially a dancing competition and involves "celebs" paired with professional dancers and people knocked out as a result of judges scoring and public votes. There is apparently a strictly "curse" whereby over several seasons of the show various celebs have ditched their real life partners in favour of other people on the show, namely the dance partner they've been paired with. Rachel Riley was a famous previous example of this "curse".
Now I was watching it a couple of weeks ago and was pleased to see the Cat from Red Dwarf was on, Stacey Dooley the documentary maker was pretty impressive, the comedian Seann Walsh was on too, now he was paired with a very attractive asian dancer Katya, someone mentioned that one of the backing dancers on the show, a ginger lad, was her husband, I commented that he'd done well! Anyway the next day I look at the newspapers and seemingly Seann Walsh had been caught kissing his dance partner... his girlfriend dumped him rather quickly and has been critical of his past behaviour on twitter (gas lighting is seemingly popular these days and it was basically implied he'd been doing that to her for a while)... meanwhile not much comment for the ginger husband who still works on the show in a lower status backing dancer role and has been literally cuckolded.
Now in the past few days another strictly couple have split, some soap star has dumped his dancer girlfriend who works on the show because she's apparently become too close to her "celeb" dance partner - some youtube I've not heard of: "Joe Sugg"
It is sad to say but I'm actually not too surprised by it all, over the years I've seen plenty of people who are either married or in serious relationships either have affairs with people in the workplace or briefly betray them on a night out or at an office Christmas party or while on a work trip abroad etc... it seems relatively common these days - the combination of hard work, long hours, stress, elevation at having achieved some milestone or simply celebrating another successful year and then of course some alcohol thrown into the mix and this stuff does happen.
Now with strictly they're under stress too and not just working together closely but in regular physical contact and of course going through highs/lows etc.. on the show.
Does anyone work in a workplace where you know of no one having an affair or having cheated on their partner? It seems to me that it inevitable happens that one or two people will do so.
