According to The Mirror, Helen was reportedly asked to be asked if she was single at Tuesday’s (1 September) press launch, and refused to answer.

Married stars such as Peter Andre, ‘EastEnders’ actress Kellie Bright and broadcaster Jeremy Vine will be hoping they are not the next victims of the ‘Strictly’ curse.
Last year, it struck winner Caroline Flack, as she split with boyfriend Jack Street while on the show.
The previous series saw Susanna Reid end her 15-year relationship with Dominic Cotton, while Rachel Riley also split from her husband Jamie Gilbert, and is now dating her former dance partner Pasha Kovalev.
