STRICTLY Come Dancing contender Ugo Monye has separated from his wife just days before the new series kicks off. The split is a second devastating blow to the former England rugby union star follow…

“It will take more work, of course, but Lucy and I are in a good place. We’ve even been discussing the idea of going on holiday as a family next summer. Lucy is an amazing person and an incredible mum.”

But he adds: “Though we are separating, we are still very much connected by our kids and we need to do what’s right for them. They came into his world because of a decision we made, so it’s really important we do everything to give them the best life possible. “Through all the bad times of late, it’s nice to have this ray of positivity and light — and the chance to wear some sequins!“Strictly is a proper institution. And it’s almost taken on a greater meaning for me now.”

“The contestants met on Zoom as a group for the first time last Wednesday and my dad passed away 30 minutes after that. I don’t really believe in serendipity but it’s like he fought so hard to get to that point. He has encountered racism first-hand and had to call the police last year after being abused in a shop.

Ugo reported the episode and was later told the abuser was “known to police”. Generously, he chose not to press charges because the woman had mental health issues.

Can’t be sucked in to the “strictly curse” if you are single before it starts.
