Strictly Come Dancing star Tyler West has weighed in on the so-called ‘Strictly curse’ after revelations that John Whaite ‘fell in love’ with his professional dance partner.
This week the former Great British Bake Off winner, 34, said he had fallen for Johannes Radebe, 36, after they became the first same-sex couple on the BBC ballroom show in 2021.
Now Tyler, who appeared on the show last season and met his girlfriend Molly Rainford while they were both competing, has said he’s not that surprised due to the fact ‘everybody falls in love’ with the dancer.
