Fan favourite, Motsi Mabuse claims that Strictly Come Dancing contestants should be “open” to falling victim of the dreaded Strictly curse.
Former professional dancer, Motsi, claims that she doesn’t see the pro and celebrity contestants being more than friends as a “curse” and went on to say that when alcohol is involved “adult things happen”.
The 38-year-old went on to say that she often avoids parties so she doesn’t jeopardise her relationship with her husband, Evgenij Voznyuk, 36.
Each year, contestants on Strictly come under fire for alleged rumours with their dance partners, the star said to The Sun: “People say it’s a curse but I think you have to be open to it for it to happen and that something must have been wrong [in a relationship] beforehand as well.”

She went on to say: “But you know if you work in this sort of world, adult things happen. Everyone goes for a drink and, whoops-a-daisy.
“That’s why I don’t go to parties.”
Motsi married her first dance partner, Timo Kulczack when she was 22.

However, she went on to divorce him in 2014.
She later remarried in 2017, marrying Ukrainian dancer Even Voznyuk after they won the German Latin American title together in 2013.
A year later, the loved up couple decided to hang up their dancing shoes and took their relationship up another level.
Speaking about the moment, Motsi said: “We stopped and it was then that we realised that we wanted to do more than just dance together.”
The adorable couple welcomed their baby daughter 15-months ago.
Strictly has been the centre of scandal in the past, in 2018, comedian Seann Walsh was pictured sharing an intimate kiss with his married dance partner, Katya Jones.
Stacey Dooley also hooked up with her dance partner, Kevin Clifton after ending her relationship.
