Sophie Ellis-Bextor has revealed the negative impact Strictly Come Dancing had on her marriage when she competed on the show in 2013.
In an excerpt from her new book, Spinning Plates, obtained by the Mail Online, Ellis-Bextor wrote about the strain the show put on her marriage to The Feeling bassist Richard Jones.
In her memoir, Ellis-Bextor also revealed that she lost her virginity aged 17 when she was raped by an older musician.
The “Murder on the Dancefloor” singer came fourth in the BBC series, and was partnered up with professional dancer Brendan Cole.
