Hannah Cooper has revealed she would stop husband Joel Dommett from competing on Strictly Come Dancing

The Masked Singer host, 35, has been approached to take part in the BBC Latin and ballroom competition but Hannah, 35, is wary about him ever signing up. 

The Instagram influencer is worried that her husband will fall foul of the Strictly curse - a phenomenon which has seen contestants fall in love with their professional partners - so would rather he stayed away altogether.

She told The Sun on Sunday: 'I have a rule with Joel that I'd rather, if there was a choice, he didn't do Strictly.

'I hate to say it, but the Strictly curse and all that stuff. And it makes me sound awful because Joel says, "Don't you trust me?" He can practice the Tango at home with me, it's fine.'

Hannah - who tied the knot with Joel in 2016 and now hosts the Never Have I Ever podcast with him -  joked that her significant other is 'awful at dancing' anyway. 

Several couples have formed relationships on Strictly over the years, but the 'curse' really took off in 2018. 

That year, a love square formed when Katya Jones, who was married to fellow show professional Neil, was snapped kissing her celebrity partner, comedian Seann Walsh, on the street outside a pub in London.

Meanwhile, when Wanted star Max George appeared on series 18 of Strictly he was happily loved-up with Stacey Giggs, whom he had been dating for four years, with the singer taking on the role of stepfather to her two children. 

Yet months after appearing on the show he began a relationship with fellow series 18 star Maisie Smith, who had been linked to singer HRVY during her initial time on the show.  

Joel and Hannah welcomed son Wilder in September and made the candid confession on Father's Day that he had been through a 'rollercoaster of emotions' since the life change.

He also opened up about the less glamorous side of parenting which has seen him dealing with 'explosive s***' and a face full of baby sick.

Before going on to say how well Wilder sleeps unless he has an accident in his nappie which his poor parents have to clean up.

He laughed: 'In which case, he wakes up and it's the worst thing of all time - he has the most explosive s**ts, It's so intense. It goes up to the base of his neck. It's incredible'.
