However, despite her perfect partnership and experience with Brendan, 48, the show still impacted the previously 'solid' marriage in a negative way.

I can remember standing beside the dance floor with Abbey Clancy and we were both saying how ready we were to go back to our husbands and our normal lives.
'Supporting me in all that I do usually came so easily to him, but with Strictly I think he was just waiting for it to end. He'd message me all day when I was rehearsing, extra keen to know my schedule.' Sophie, who was partnered with professional dancer Brendan Cole , insisted he was 'a complete gentleman' and said Richard 'liked' him, amid a worrying string of mounting allegations against the show and its dancers
Sophie explained that Richard began counselling a month into the show and admitted she wishes she had done the same. Professional Graziano Di Prima, 30, was axed from the show last week following claims he allegedly hit and spat at his dancing partner Zara McDermott, 27, during rehearsals. Responding to a Strictly fan's mocking disbelief that the hardened explorer - who has dived with Great White sharks and wrestled poisonous snakes in his career - could be 'reduced to tears' by the 5ft 4in dancer, James joked: 'Please help me!!'
