'To be honest with you, for me and Aliaj, we kind of swapped that whole thing round and we say that for us, 'Strictly' has been quite a blessing.
'When we started 'Strictly' - seven years ago - we were just dating, then during 'Strictly' we got engaged, and then we got married, and now we're celebrating our second wedding anniversary.
'There's lots of couples that have come out of 'Strictly' that have really thrived and had beautiful relationships. So in my opinion, it's so much better to focus on the couples having happy relationships and doing well, versus, 'Ooh, who's going to cheat.' '

'It is in my opinion a bit of a double standard though. Men and women both make mistakes all the time, and there's no right or wrong in that opinion.
'You can say, 'That was OK', 'That was OK', 'This was wrong', 'That was not wrong'. But when it came to that specific situation, it was just so highlighted because they were both on the biggest show in the country!
'If that had been any other couple going through something in the corner of the street, it'd be like, 'Oh look at those two'. But because they're part of this huge machine it just got overboard with the attention'.
