Emma Thompson quips she gave Greg Wise condoms ahead of Strictly as she talks 'curse'


Strictly Come Dancing 2021 contestant Greg Wise, 55, will perform with professional dancer Karen Hauer, 39, on the show this year. The actor has been happily married to Emma Thompson, 62, since 2003, while Karen is dating Jordan Jones Williams.

Due to the nature of the show, some participants have been hit by the so-called Strictly curse, a term used to describe the breakdown of a dancer or celebrity’s relationship during or after the show.

Sharing her thoughts about Greg dancing with Karen, she joked: “I am worried about the Strictly curse, very much so.

“I have put a packet of Durex into Greg’s good luck card. Just two.

“But you don’t know, do you? They haven’t got time for a lot of s******g, I hope, they’ll be so exhausted.”

The actress added she wouldn’t be going to the show every week to watch him, but would be tuning in from home. 

The couple share 21-year-old daughter Gaia, 21, and adopted son Tindy, 33, together.

She said of her dad’s Strictly stint: “He has a six-pack and will take his top off if he is needed to.”

On what he expects from the show, Greg jokingly said he demands to have knickers thrown at him.

He told The Telegraph: “With this, you’ve got to go the whole hog.

“I’m demanding knickers are thrown at me! All the time. Especially if they’re Em’s.”
