Read our privacy policy Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Dan Walker has condemned rumours surrounding him and the show’s long-standing “curse”. The “curse” is a term used by fans of the long-running BBC reality series to refer to a supposed tendency among celebrity contestants to become romantically involved with their professional dance partners. “There was only one person I was allowed to touch in the entire production that night and that was my partner,” said Walker, who had just filmed an emotional tribute to mark the 10th anniversary of a friend’s death. She is very professional.” Strictly Come Dancing concludes at 7pm on BBC One on Saturday 18 December.
