Strictly star’s partner ‘massively dreading show’ and fears ‘curse could strike again’ after she admitted cheating | The Sun

STRICTLY star Zara McDermott's boyfriend Sam Thompson is ‘massively dreading show’ and fears the ‘curse could strike again’.

The Love Island star, who took part in the ITV2 dating in 2018, is one of the famous faces taking part in this year's series of the dance competition.

According to reports, Made In Chelsea star Sam is "insecure" about her upcoming time on the BBC show.

The couple, who started dating in 2019, hit a rough patch the following year when it was revealed that Zara had cheated on Sam with music boss Brahim Fouradi during her stint on X Factor Celebrity in 2019.

A source told OK! magazine: "They broke up because of it but have claimed to be super strong ever since.

"Sam is massively dreading history repeating itself and the Strictly curse is definitely playing on his mind.
