Charlotte Hawkins is too "happily married" to allow herself to be struck by the infamous 'curse' while competing on this year's 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The ballroom and latin show has made a name for itself after being the cause of numerous relationship breakdowns over the years, but the 'Good Morning Britain' presenter is adamant she won't be running off with her professional dance partner Brendan Cole because she's too in love with her husband Mark Herbert.

Speaking to HELLO! magazine, she said: "One of the things I get asked about most is the 'curse of Strictly', but it's not an issue as we're very happily married."

And, although they have to get up close and personal during training and while on the dance floor, Mark thinks Brendan is a "really nice bloke" and is pleased his wife, whom he's been married to for nine years, was partnered up with him for the competition.

He explained to the publication: "It's really important they get on - there needs to be quite a bit of chemistry there for their dancing to be good. Brendan is a really nice bloke - I'm very happy with him as a choice."

Charlotte and Mark have two-year-old daughter Ella Rose together and the youngster has been helping the 42-year-old blonde beauty practice the moves in the kitchen.

She said: "Ella Rose finds it funny when I practice in the kitchen.

"She helps me with the counting - 'Five, six, seven eight'. She does baby ballet and has taken to it like a duck to water."

Brendan, on the other hand, recently announced that he and his wife Zoe are expecting their second child, a younger brother or sister for their four-year-old daughter Aurelia.
