STRICTLY Come Dancing’s Kristina Rihanoff and Ben Cohen have split — 12 years after the Strictly curse saw them get together.
The ex-England rugby star dumped his wife Abby to date Russian pro Kristina after being paired on the dancefloor in 2013.
But pals confirmed they had parted after financial difficulties tore the relationship apart.
A friend said: “Ben left his wife Abby for Kristina, only to now split with her.
“It’s like the curse in reverse.
“This will be like karma for Abby, she was so upset when Ben left her.
“It’s like he has got his comeuppance.”
Ben, 46, and Kristina, 47, who have an eight-year-old daughter, have put their £1.75million house in Northampton on the market and Ben has been removed as a director of their joint yoga business.
A pal said: “The past six months have been hell for them and it has torn the love they had apart.
“For the sake of their family, they have chosen to go forward as separate individuals.
“Those close to them who know them as a couple had hoped they would be able to work things out but for now it’s over and it looks like there’s no going back.”
Their split means the curse of Strictly now appears to be cursed itself.
Ben, who won the rugby World Cup in 2003, split from Abby — his wife of 11 years and the mother of his two daughters — after being paired with Kristina.
Earlier that year Kristina had split from boxer Joe Calzaghe — whom she had met on the 2009 series. Joe left his girlfriend of five years soon after joining the show.
Kristina has previously defended her relationship with Ben, saying: “People do meet at work and that’s where we work.”
PRO Brendan Cole split with girlfriend Camilla Dallerup, who was also a Strictly dancer, after rumours he had grown close to partner Natasha Kaplinsky in 2004.
IN 2007, professional dancer Flavia Cacace dumped her Strictly colleague Vincent Simone and hooked up with her partner Matt Di Angelo.
SHORTLY after the 2013 series ended, Countdown star Rachel Riley split with her husband Jamie Gilbert.
She later married her pro partner Pasha Kovalev and they have two kids.
ACTRESS Georgia May Foote split with her boyfriend Sean Ward in 2015 — weeks before she started officially dating her Strictly dance partner Giovanni Pernice.
YOUTUBER Joe Sugg appeared on Strictly in 2018 and was paired with pro Dianne Buswell — who had been dating Emmerdale star Anthony Quinlan when the series began.
TV PRESENTER Stacey Dooley appeared on the show in 2018.
She later split from her boyfriend Sam Tucknott and got together with her pro partner Kevin Clifton.
They have a child.
COMIC Seann Walsh’s relationship with actress girlfriend Rebecca Humphries ended in 2018 when The Sun published video and pics of him kissing pro partner Katya Jones.
THE Apprentice star Jonny Heaver has broken his silence on being axed from the BBC show – and his co-star Dr Jan.
Jonny was sent packing from the boardroom by Lord Sugar during tonight’s episode.
For this week’s task, the teams were flown out to Turkey where they were tasked with creating corporate-away days.
After his team lost the challenge in a brutal defeat, Jonny found himself in the firing line alongside Chisola and Frederick.
Lord Sugar told him: “Jonny, I haven’t seen much from you in the six weeks, in fact what I have seen is a tendenancy to make excuses that it’s not your fault or ‘I don’t want to do that because I’m not experienced in this’.”
He added: “I’m afraid to say, it’s because after six weeks I haven’t seen much from you that Jonny, you’re fired.”
Speaking exclusively to The Sun following his exit, Jonny said: “I’m gutted. I would love to have made it to the final five because I feel like I went on the show for my business.
“I really, really do believe in my business idea. It would have been fantastic to get that scrutiny that it does in the final five of those interviews.”
Jonny also addressed Dr Jana Denzel‘s decision to quit the series last week – after The Sun revealed the real reason he left the boardroom.
He had previously been under-fire by show bosses for using the highly offensive term “coloured” to describe a black character as they discussed marketing campaigns.
Defending his co-star, Jonny revealed he is very much in Dr Jana’s corner and they’ve become friends.
He told us: “Not only is he a good mate of mine, but I’m also a patient of his. So it’s hugely beneficial.
“He’s a great guy. And obviously I don’t want to comment on him leaving the process specifically because that was his own decision.
“But I completely back him and he’s such an incredible businessman.”
Jonny added: “And I actually met him at the auditions for the show way back before filming. So we’ve got this like one of a kind rapport I feel. He’s a great guy. And just finally business sense.”

While some past winners work with Lord Sugar to this day, other collaborations have long ended.
Here is a look at some of the winners who have quit working with the business giant.
