Chris Robshaw’s journey on Strictly Come Dancing has been nothing short of a rollercoaster! The former England rugby captain narrowly escaped the dance-off last week and is now gearing up for a samba to Ricky Martin’s ‘Maria’ this Saturday. But it’s not just his professional partner, Nadiya Bychkova, who stands by his side; his biggest cheerleader is his wife, Camilla Kerslake. Married since 2018, this classical music sensation has been a force of support for Chris.
Reflecting on their romance, Camilla revealed a fascinating tidbit: before meeting Chris, she was approached by an unnamed footballer through agents. Finding the approach immature and suspecting him to be “spoiled,” she didn’t pursue it. When she met Chris at a charity event, her instincts told her he was different. Despite her manager’s warnings about dating another celebrity, Camilla was drawn to Chris’s open, kind nature—bonus points for looking like a Greek god!
Their love story blossomed quickly, but not without some drama. Camilla confessed she nearly confronted a Strictly judge over a low score for Chris, but her protective instincts couldn’t overshadow her support and belief in him. While Camilla wasn’t actively seeking love, once Chris came along, everything changed. “Within a few months, I knew he was ‘the one’,” she shared.
Excited to see Chris samba this weekend? Let’s cheer him on together! 🎉💃 #StrictlyComeDancing #TeamRobshaw
