TELLY bosses are out to tame Strictly Come Dancing star Kristina Rihanoff – after pairing her with Donegal’s very own crooner Daniel O’Donnell.
Kristina – cruelly dubbed the Siberian Siren by the London press – dated two of her former dance partners on the show, Ben Cohen and Joe Calzaghe.
England rugby union star Ben split from his wife to be with her.
And Welsh world champion boxer Joe Calzaghe ditched his girlfriend to be with Kristina.
Fellow professional dancer Vincent Simone cheated on his pregnant Derry girlfriend Susan Duddy with Kristina in 2008.
However, Vincent and Susan later got back together and recently got married.
But BBC chiefs are confident there will be no repeat of the Curse of Strictly and Daniel won’t be ‘Waltzing’ off after he dances the cha-cha with Kristina, 37, in the new series, which starts tonight on BBC 1.
Insiders say Kristina just isn’t Daniel’s type and he is devoted to wife Majella.
“I think we all know that Daniel won’t be looking sideways. Anyone who knows him knows that he is devoted to Majella.
“He will approach ‘Strictly’ the way he approaches everything else – in a professional manner.”
