Jamie, a millionaire, and Rachel parted ways in 2009 after four years of dating. But in 2012, they reconciled once more and wed. After living together in Essex for a while, the couple’s relationship ended 16 months later when Rachel made an appearance on “Strictly”.

She confirmed their relationship a year later, in 2014, and this has been cited as an instance of the “Strictly” curse despite Rachel’s insistence that Pasha was not the cause of the breakup.
