It's famously been a tricky show for some celebrities to negotiate, with a number of high-profile relationships breaking under the scrutiny and pressure it generates.
But one couple who don't seem to be afraid of the Strictly Come Dancing curse are Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes, who couldn't help but laugh and joke about their marriage hitting headlines when Ruth appears on the next series of the show.
Drifting onto the subject during Monday's This Morning, the presenting couple had a giggle about the 'curse' - though Eamon slightly less - when he discovered he'd have to give up his Saturday nights to support his wife.

As the couple dropped in to talking about Ruth's new smooth-moving adventure, Eamonn petulantly asked if he had to attend the show's dance-off every week.
"Do I have to be in the audience every week?" he whined, before his wife put him firmly in his place, telling him: "Yes! Stop asking that!"
Something which led Eamonn to joke: "If I don't turn up they'll all go, 'the curse of strictly has struck!'"

Finding the thought amusing, Ruth added: "Don't ever leave your wedding ring off either, like leave it on the side of the basin, because you'll be seen without your wedding ring."
Eamonn got a big giggle out of his wife when he confused some of the male dancer's whilst joking: "Ruth and Oliaff, or Victor or whatever are getting close!"

It comes after last week's announcement, which saw Ruth named as the third celeb taking part in this year's edition of Strictly.
Other names announced so far include Holby's Joe Mcfadden, pop star Mollie King, and EastEnders' Davood Ghadami.
