Strictly Come Dancing winner Kara Tointon has admitted that she had sworn off men before meeting Artem Chigvintsev.
The former Eastenders actress had decided to take a break from relationships, after her split from actor Joe Swash, but was won over by the professional dancer’s charms on the BBC show.
Speaking on tonight’s Graham Nortoin show Kara explains:
Pamela Stephenson was worried people would think she was having an affair with James Jordan.
The 61-year-old psychotherapist – who is married to comedian Billy Connolly – decided to openly address her crush on her 32-year-old ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ partner so fans of the BBC One show didn’t speculate on whether they were enjoying a raunchy affair.
She explained: “I believe at some level people knew I was relishing the opportunity to have a sanctioned mini ‘affair’ with him – unconsummated of course – that provided an intriguing subplot for our so-called ‘Strictly’ story. I didn’t hide my feelings, and chose to be quite open about my temporary crush on James.
Kara Tointon has admitted that she is looking forward to spending Christmas with her Russian hunk, Artem Chigvinstev.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ winner admitted she is keen to settle into a normal relationship with her dance partner now the BBC One show has come to an end, and confessed that her family have invited Artem to spend Christmas day with them.
She explained: “Artem is going to come and spend Christmas with my family. Will I introduce him as my boyfriend? I should hope so, yeah! I have met an amazing person, and I go a bit red when people ask about it.
Kara Tointon was on cloud nine when she won Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night, however she experienced a quick comedown when she had to take a trip to A&E just hours later.
The former Eastenders actress beat Pamela Stephenson and Matt Baker and took the glitterball trophy, when she received the highest amount of public votes after her stunning showdance and emotional waltz. However while she was rehearsing her energetic freestyle routine earlier in the afternoon, Kara hurt her arm and had to be loaded with painkillers to take part in the BBC show.
Ann Widdecombe has confessed that taking part in Strictly Come Dancing, was the best thing she’s done this year.
The former Tory minister – who was eliminated from the BBC One show just one week before the semi-finals – explained she had a “whale of a time” on the celebrity dancing contest.
She said: “Without a doubt it’s been the highlight of my year. It’s completely different to anything I’ve ever done before and I had a whale of a time.
