A well-known comedian and TV presenter, Joel Dommett, had been considering joining the popular dance competition, Strictly Come Dancing. However, his wife, Hannah Cooper-Dommett, has expressed her concerns and discouraged him from participating due to the infamous "Strictly curse."
For the past 20 years that the show has been running on BBC, there have been speculations about relationships forming between the celebrity contestants and their professional dance partners. While some of these rumors turned out to be false, many romances have blossomed on the show, including those between Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez, Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton, and Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell.
In 2018, there was a scandal involving comedian Seann Walsh, who was caught kissing his dance partner, Katya Jones, who was married to another professional dancer on the show. After witnessing all of this unfold, Hannah, 34, has made it clear that she is not too keen on her husband, who also hosts The Masked Singer and previously appeared on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, joining the show.
The couple has been approached in the past about Joel participating, but Hannah has always discouraged him, citing the broken relationships that have occurred after some contestants' appearances on the show. She also revealed that Joel is not the best dancer, which adds to her reservations about him competing for the Glitterball trophy.
In an interview with The Sun on Sunday, Hannah shared that she has a rule with Joel that she would rather him not do Strictly. She admitted that it may make her sound awful, but she is concerned about the "Strictly curse" and the impact it could have on their relationship. However, she also joked that he can practice the Tango at home with her.
But it's not just the curse that worries Hannah; she also has another reason for not wanting Joel to join the show. She revealed that he is not the best dancer and would probably not do well on the show. However, despite her reservations, she is proud of her husband's recent career success, which includes hosting The Masked Dancer, the National Television Awards, and Survivor.
The couple met in 2016 after Hannah, a model who has worked with brands like Barbour and M&S, drunkenly sent Joel a message on Instagram when he finished as the runner-up on I'm A Celebrity. They welcomed their son, Wilde, last year, and Joel has credited Hannah with keeping him grounded and happy, saying that he would be a "horrible" person without her.
In a recent interview, Joel opened up about the joys and challenges of being a new dad. He described it as a rollercoaster, with moments of stress and exhaustion, but also moments of pure joy and love. He even joked about randomly crying in the grocery store, a result of sleep deprivation.
As for Strictly Come Dancing, it is set to return to BBC later this year, and fans are eagerly awaiting the star-studded lineup.
