As the highly anticipated 20th season of Strictly Come Dancing approaches, fans can't help but wonder if the infamous "Strictly curse" will rear its head once again. However, JLS star JB Gill is not worried about the curse affecting his marriage as he prepares to hit the dancefloor this year.
Joining a star-studded lineup, including Love Island's Tasha Ghouri, Towie's Pete Wicks, and comedian Chris McCausland, JB is excited to showcase his dance skills on the BBC flagship show. Of course, Strictly is known for its famous "curse," where contestants' relationships off the dancefloor suffer due to their partnerships with their dance pros. We've seen it happen time and time again, from Katya Jones and Seann Walsh's scandalous smooch to Ben Cohen and Kristina Rihanoff's relationship breakdown.
But JB, 37, is determined not to let the curse affect his marriage to backing dancer Chloe Tangney, whom he has been happily married to for 10 years. They have two children together, and JB credits their strong communication for their successful relationship. He reassures fans that his Strictly journey will not change that, as Chloe understands the world of dance and has been on tours herself.
In fact, JB sees his wife as an asset in this competition, as she can offer valuable advice and support. He is grateful to have her by his side, especially since he is not a trained dancer himself. And with the introduction of chaperones in the training room, it seems that the Strictly curse may not be as big of a threat this time around.
The show has also implemented various other measures to ensure the safety and well-being of its contestants, following allegations against pro dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima. This year, the show celebrates its 20th anniversary, and it promises to be the biggest and most spectacular season yet.
Joining JB and the other celebrities in the lineup are Gladiators' Montell Douglas, DIY SOS star Nick Knowles, and 80s icon Toyah Willcox. JB is the second member of JLS to compete on Strictly, following in the footsteps of his bandmate Aston Merrygold, who participated in 2017 and caused controversy when he was eliminated after only seven weeks.
With the show set to return to our screens this autumn, fans can't wait to see who will take home the coveted glitter ball trophy. And as always, we can expect a few surprises and twists along the way. Who knows, maybe this year we'll see the first ever winner of Strictly Come Dancing 2024? Only time will tell.
