Ben Cohen, 45, admitted that a yoga studio's debts were straining his relationship with fiancée Kristina Rihanoff, 46.
Embattled former Strictly star Ben Cohen could face more legal woes after failing to submit accounts for a yoga studio which plunged almost £500,000 in debt, MailOnline can reveal.
Companies House records show that the Soo Yoga Group Ltd was £488,470 in the red in its last submitted set of accounts for the year ending on July 31, 2022.The 2003 Rugby World Cup winner, 45, admitted that the studio's debts were straining his relationship with fiancée Kristina Rihanoff. They started Soo Yoga Group together in June 2017, but Rihanoff stepped down as a director and transferred her 50 per cent shareholding to Cohen in September 2022.
Cohen laid bare his marital and money problems after Russia-born Kristina was caught driving her £30,000 Audi Q3 in Northampton on April 4 without insurance. Cohen said: 'I get up every day and I fight not to lose everything - to lose my cars and my house and my relationship. I'm so overdrawn.' He told how he had been searching for cheaper insurance online at the end of February after being quoted £7,500 by Aviva, and had taken out a policy with Dial Direct on February 22, paying monthly by direct debit.
Kritstina sobbed throughout the hearing and had to leave the court room holding her hands over her mouth because she felt sick.She told the court she needed to drive to judge ballroom competitions across the country, which earned her £2,000-a-month, and to take her children to school.She said: 'We find you had an honest belief you were insured but don't accept that belief was reasonable grounds to account for your lack of insurance.
