Pointless host Richard Osman said his show Pointless has the same make-up artists as Strictly Come Dancing, meaning he often heard what allegedly goes on off-camera. The 51-year-old presenter began by poking fun at the so-called Strictly curse.
The term “curse” has been used to describe relationship break-ups involving the contestants or professionals on the BBC show.
On whether he’d ever sign up for a go on the dance floor, he said: “I don’t have time to do all the training and have an affair.
“We get every single piece of gossip, that includes who’s banging who, but also who’s nice.”
Richard went on to tell Private Parts podcast host Jamie Laing that he didn’t need to worry, as he had only ever heard good things about him during his series.
