Strictly Come Dancing star Vick Hope dodges curse as she dumps longterm boyfriend before show starts
STRICTLY Come Dancing hopeful Vick Hope has dodged the show's famous curse by dumping her longterm boyfriend before the series starts.
The Capital FM host is going to be starting the season newly-single after ending her four-year relationship with actor Tom Rosenthal.
Vick, 28, is one of the stars who will be taking to the dancefloor for the 2018 installment of the hit talent show.
It has now been revealed she's just come out of a long relationship after suffering a “quarter-life crisis”.
She told : "I’ve just broken up with my boyfriend of four-and-a-half years because I was thinking, ‘Is this right?
"Is this who I’m going to be with for the rest of my life?
"If I’m not 100% sure about that, then maybe I should get out’.”
The Sun previously revealed BBC bosses are struggling to attract talent for the new series as so many stars are put off by the curse, which has ruined many marriages over the years.
Strictly chiefs have been scrambling to attract A-listers but they've also banned reality stars for the 16th series this autumn.
An insider said: “Strictly has always been a massive draw in the past, but it hasn’t been as easy this year.
"They’ve asked loads of top names, but with people like Louise Redknapp and Ben Cohen in mind, many in relationships are saying no.
“Bosses are obviously hoping to bring in some bigger names, but they need everyone signed by the end of this month.”
Singer Louise ended her 18-year marriage to footie star Jamie following her 2016 stint on the show.
Rugby hero Ben split from wife Abby and now has a baby with his pro dancer Kristina Rihanoff.
