JB Gill addressed the Strictly Come Dancing ‘curse’ with his wife Chloe in a fun clip this week, insisting he will not be ‘lipsing any girl.’

The JLS star, 37, who tied-the-knot with dancer Chloe, 34, back in January 2014, was announced as part of the 2024 line-up this month.

Strictly has long been known for the ‘curse’ that befalls some contestants who end up dating their partner, despite some being already in relationships.

Poking fun at the infamous trail of drama that has followed the BBC show, JB mimed over a sound bite from Love Island’s Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay with his wife.

Referencing lyrics to That’s Not Me by Skepta and Jme, the singer said: ‘Act like a wasteman? That’s not me. Sex any girl? Nah, that’s not me. Lips any girl? Nah, that’s not me.’

Hilariously he captioned the update: ‘When your wife asks you about the strictly curse and that’s not you.’

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline about his upcoming appearance, JB said he and Chloe have ‘incredible communication’ and insisted that his time on the show will ‘not change that’.

He explained: ‘We communicate incredibly well and we’ve always said that’s one of the keys to a very successful and strong relationship, let alone marriage. For us, this is not gonna change that at all.

Fans believe the famous ‘Strictly curse’ could finally be nearing its end this year, after bosses announced that they would be introducing chaperones who would be present at all times while couples practice their routines.

JB – who shares son Ace, nine and daughter Chiara, five, with Chloe – added: ‘To be honest, I probably have the best wife that you could have, for any contestant doing this show, because she comes from that world.

‘And although she wasn’t a ballroom dancer, we both understand what goes into it. We know that it’s not easy and it’s going to be difficult. She gets it, she’s been on tours herself.

‘She’s obviously had to partner with other people, that’s just part of the world. So she’s very excited for me.

‘Chloe can’t wait to offer advice which I’m also very grateful for because having her mind on things and just little things that I wouldn’t know because I’m not a trained dancer, you know, I’ll be able to hear from her and work alongside my pro with.’

Some of the most famous victims of the so-called ‘Strictly curse’ include Rachel Riley, who married her professional partner Pasha Kovalev, after splitting from her then-husband Jamie Gilbert while competing on the show in 2013.

Adam Peaty also split from his partner Eiri Munro after competing on Strictly in 2021.

Seann Walsh also split from his girlfriend Rebecca Humphries after he was pictured kissing his dance partner Katya Jones in 2018. She was married to fellow dancer Neil at the time, and they split the following year.

Stacey Dooley is also dating her dance partner Kevin Clifton, and split from her boyfriend Sam Tucknott weeks after she won Strictly.
