Nick Knowles' girlfriend has spoken to friends about the Strictly curse with the TV star set up to the show. But it doesn't seem Katie Dadzie is too concerned as the 61-year-old continues to be linked with the programme. The so-called ‘Strictly Curse’ has seen the breakup of many high-profile relationships over the years, with celebrities finding love with their dance professionals while starring on the show.
In 2013, Countdown presenter Rachel Riley split with her husband shortly after appearing on the show. The star went on to marry her dance partner Pasha Kovalev, and the pair welcomed their first child in 2019. In 2018, comedian Seann Walsh was photographed snogging his dance partner Katya Jones, despite him being in a relationship.
The same year, TV journalist Stacey Dooley - who was in a steady relationship going into the show - found love with her professional partner Kevin Clifton. The couple welcomed their first child together last year. But Nick's girlfriend, 34, has total trust in her man and the lingerie business owner doesn't fear a wandering eye.
"Katie isn’t worried about the curse," one friend told The Sun . "After Nick signed up for the show they joked about it, they’re very confident in their relationship. Obviously Katie is stunning and Nick definitely isn’t looking elsewhere - why would he? This is nothing but a job for him.
" Mum-of-two Katie met Nick through their kids in 2019 but recently shared that she “actually didn’t like him very much�.
