Strictly’s Adam Peaty’s ex issues warning to stars over ‘curse’ which ‘ended’ romance

The ex-girlfriend of former Strictly Come Dancing star Adam Peaty has issued a warning to others over the show’s “curse”.

Eiri Munro says Adam’s involvement on the BBC show marked the “beginning of the end” of their relationship. She has told other celebrities featuring in future series of the competition to “think of their loved ones” to avoid the same heartache she has suffered.

All appeared rosy in Adam and Eiri’s romance – until the Olympian was partnered with professional dancer Katya Jones in 2021. The pair’s Argentine Tango performance in October that year caused a huge stir after they appeared to almost snog on air at the end of their dance.

Posting on Instagram shortly afterwards, Eiri said at the time: “Watching your boyfriend almost kiss another woman on live TV — finding out 10million people also watched it.”

The couple met at university in 2017 and went on to have a son, George, only to split in August 2022 – eight months on from Adam’s Strictly experience. On what was the 19th series of the show, swimming champion Adam and Russian dance star Katya finished ninth.

Adam later wrote in his own Instagram post: “Eiri and George, I’m sorry for letting you down. My only interest is for the well-being of our family at this difficult time.”

Now Eiri has told other celebrities to avoid the show if their relationship “isn’t secure”. She told the Sun: “My advice wouldn’t be to the partners of those going on Strictly, but for the celebrities participating; involve your family in the process — it can be a very lonely process for partners. Also reassure your partner, especially when the world inevitably begins to speculate there’s something going on between you and your dance partner.

“And if you’re not strong enough to go through the process, if your relationship isn’t secure, or you don’t know how to handle the intense attention that comes with it, don’t go on the show.”

Adam is now in a relationship with Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, Holly. She has taken on a new career in recent times, becoming an influencer to thousands of followers on Instagram. She has also moved away from her chef dad and presenting sister Tilly.

The pair went official with their relationship after months of speculation after the pair met whilst Tilly took part in the same Strictly series.
