Strictly Come Dancing's former champion-turned-judge Alesha Dixon has been shedding some light on the Seann Walsh and Katya Jones controversy, suggesting that the 'Strictly curse' is definitely real.
The show has famously featured more than a few relationship break-ups among its contestants, leading many fans to believe in the so-called 'curse'.
Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, the Britain's Got Talent judge disclosed: "The sexual chemistry is real. You're rubbing up upon them! It is intense, so I can see how it goes down that road."
Alesha went on to recall how she was one of the lucky stars to escape the drama.
"I was single at the time," she said. "I probably tried to snog [dance partner Matthew Cutler], knowing me!
"Thing is, on Strictly, I was just so focused on doing well that I didn't have time for the hanky panky and the nonsense that goes on. It didn't even cross my mind. This is the place to dance."

However, Alesha emphasised that she would have been hesitant about committing to the show had she been in a relationship.
She noted: "Some people have gone on to have nice relationships off the back of the show. Do you know what, though, if I was in a relationship at the time when I was asked to do the show, it would have been a thing I'd have to consider.
"The fact that I was single and didn't have to worry about any of that was helpful. I could just focus on that trophy!"
Naturally, Strictly still has a special place in Alesha's heart. "It's the most amazing show," she concluded. "I still watch it, I'm still a fan. I was a fan before I did the show and I'm a fan now."
The Jonathan Ross Show airs Saturday, November 3 at 10.35pm on ITV.
