The 48-year-old has made the headlines over ‘Strictly curse’ claims in the past himself. He and Natasha Kaplinsky were paired up for the first series in 2004, which they won together.
Both he and Natasha were said to be in relationships at the time, with Brendan linked to fellow pro Camilla Dallerup.
Natasha and Brendan were accused of having an affair during their time on the show, which Brendan has denied.
He’s said previously: “I didn’t cross any lines with Natasha. I was single. Camilla had ended the relationship very early on in the series so what happened, happened after that.”

Speaking about the 2023 series participants, he added: “I’d be very surprised if there wasn’t something going on somewhere with somebody because that’s human nature.”
