“It all happened in the most atrocious way.” Cacace and Di Angelo would split two years later, with Cacace then marrying actor Jimi Mistry – her partner on the 2010 series. Within months of competing on the 2016 series, the pop star Louise Redknapp and her ex-footballer husband Jamie announced their separation after 18 years of marriage. The split led to a media storm, with the press claiming that the “curse” took down its most significant, high-profile relationship yet. Not true, Louise told The Guardian in 2019, suggesting that being on Strictly merely revived her passion for performing, having dropped out of the spotlight to raise her family.
“I was having the time of my life… And then it all went very, very wrong.” Walsh also revealed that he suffered from panic attacks in the wake of the show, and sought therapy after becoming “extremely depressed” amid an onslaught of bad press. The so-called “Strictly curse” has been a tabloid mainstay for at least a decade, founded on the idea that participating on Strictly Come Dancing threatens the status of the relationship you’re in when you sign up. MUMBAI -India’s central bank will not immediately release details of a report to the government explaining why it has failed to meet its targets for inflation, Governor Shaktikanta Das said. The Reserve Bank of India’s monetary policy committee will meet on Thursday to discuss its first ever inflation target miss, which has come amid an upsurge in inflation globally due to fallout from the war in Ukraine. Das said on Wednesday that a letter to be sent to the government after the Nov. 3 special meeting will not be made public because the bank does not have the authority to release it.
When Howard Carter opened a small hole to peer inside the tomb at treasures hidden for 3,000 years, he also unleashed a global passion for ancient Egypt. As the Fed kicks off its two-day interest-rate setting meeting, the focus is on whether Jerome Powell & Co. stick to their hawkish tone or indicate the pace of rate hikes may slow down. Inflation at a headline level looks to have peaked, goods prices are starting to fall, the surge in commodity prices has unwound, and the housing market is deteriorating rapidly. Climate conference to urge rich countries to keep their promise to give $100 billion a year in funding to help developing nations deal with climate change and switch to cleaner energy, two government sources said.
Not back to the style of papal authority that both John Paul II and Francis have tried to exercise — the former to restore tradition, the latter to suppress it — only to find themselves frustrated by the ungovernability of the modern church. Not to the kind of thick inherited Catholic cultures that still existed down to the middle of the 20th century, and whose subsequent unraveling, while inevitable to some extent, was clearly accelerated by the church’s own internal iconoclasm. There is no clever rationalization, no intellectual schematic, no sententious Vatican propaganda — a typical recent document references “the life-giving sustenance provided by the council,” as though it were the eucharist itself — that can evade this cold reality. During the game, former running back Marshawn Lynch was interviewed. Lynch is a Bay Area native, went to Cal and even briefly played for the Oakland Raiders. His best NFL days came while playing in the state of Washington for the Seattle Seahawks.
Lea Michele, who played Rachel Berry on the show, has been plagued by bullying rumours in recent years , after a host of cast and crew members came forth to accuse the leading lady of vile behaviour on-set. Glee ran for six seasons from 2009 to 2015 and throughout its time on air and the years following, trauma has reigned supreme – leading to claims of a ‘Glee Curse’. “This league is built on two tournaments where the first is Supporters’ Shield and the second is playoffs and then MLS Cup,” said Acosta, who has played in MLS since 2012 with prior stops at FC Dallas and the Colorado Rapids. “Obviously people are looking at the history, but maybe they lose sight of how playoffs are their own beast and how difficult it can be. It’s about who wants it more, who can roll up their sleeves and just grind it out. We saw Dallas the other night going into PKs against Minnesota; Austin versus Salt Lake the same.
“To this day I have no idea whether it was her fame and celebrity that swept him away or if he really did feel a strong connection with her,” Dallerup said in 2015. Presenter Claudia Winkleman has repeatedly shot down the curse, once saying that it’s less a supernatural occurrence as merely the Strictly experience being “intoxicating”. Regardless whether you’re rehearsing an intimate routine or not, dancing releases endorphins and makes you happy (it’s science!). Similarly, throwing yourself into a diligent exercise schedule with just one other person and far away from your romantic partner forces you into a very intimate relationship. So it’s not that surprising that participating in Strictly gives way to radical personal upheavals. Flavia Cacace and EastEnders actor Matt Di Angelo were partnered in the 2007 series, with the pair becoming a romantic item in the show’s wake – after Cacace dumped her long-time boyfriend Vincent Simone – who was also a dancer on the show.

The frequency with which people use Jesus as a curse makes me wonder, however, if people have thought about what they are saying or if they just use it out of repetition and because our society—our majority-Christian society—has turned a deaf ear. My guess is that the majority repeat it, perhaps without thinking, because they hear no objection to it. My fear is that some knowingly use it without regard for how it might offend others.
Maybe the invocation “Jesus, give me strength,” often used in a moment of trial, has been bastardized over time. When I was a child, my grandmother and great-aunt used to say “Jesus, Mary, and Joseph” occasionally, but in context I never saw it as offensive. A convert, now of 41 years standing, I jumped in just past the worst post-Council days, and hated the intramural Catholic war which is an internal manifestation of the culture war. Why couldn’t we just be Catholics, without adjective or qualification?
Stories of its destructive power arrive like clockwork each winter. Along with forgotten B-listers and stars of Holby City and/or EastEnders hitting the dance floor, hysterical headlines will report on Strictly duos left so erotically charged in pasodoble rehearsals that they dump their spouses. LAFC experienced an at-times dominant regular season, finishing ahead of Eastern Conference No. 1 seed Philadelphia Union on the most-wins tiebreaker (21 vs. 19) after both clubs finished with 67 points.
Still, there are a raft of examples that seem to “prove” the existence of a curse, with partners caught kissing by the paparazzi, sweaty training sessions turning into torrid affairs, and heartbroken spouses left weeping on the sidelines. Ahead of Wendell & Wild later this month, The Curse of Bridge Hollow has now arrived with Stranger Things star Priah Ferguson in her first lead movie role. She plays Sydney, who, after her family moves to the small town of Bridge Hollow, accidentally wakes up an ancient spirit. She claimed in her suicide note that the actress was so cruel that she ‘drove me into the deepest depression I’ve ever been in’. She described the Oscar-winning star as a ‘so-called sibling’ who should get nothing if she died – except the memory that she pushed her over the edge.
