Kristina Rihanoff addressed the ex girlfriend of Joe Calzaghe’s, saying that she had “better get used” to photographs of them together.

Jo-Emma Larvin recently expressed her sadness at seeing the pair getting cosy after dance rehearsals.

However, Rihanoff told the Daily Mail: “No offence to her, but if she is going to get upset about some pictures with me holding his hand, well, she’d better get used to it.

“Yes, I’m going to hold his hand. I mean, he is my partner. That’s what we do together: we dance and we hold each other’s hands. If somebody has a problem with it or they are insecure, I cannot do anything about that.

“I have to go with my work with this guy. And, to be honest, I have spent much of my life going out of my way to make sure other women aren’t threatened by me.

“If they are, I can’t help it.”
