JLS star JB Gill has broken his silence on the Strictly curse after signing up to show.
JB, 37, playfully addressed the infamous phenomenon in a TikTok with his backing dancer wife, Chloe Tangney.
The couple didn't shy away from addressing the 'curse', which refers to show contestants falling for their dance partners - often leading to the breakdown of existing relationships.
With the singer joining the Strictly cast next month, the couple miming to a soundbite from Love Island's Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay, referencing Skepta and Jme's song "That's Not Me."
JB lip-synced the lyrics, "Act like a wasteman? That's not me. Sex any girl? Nah, that's not me. Lips any girl? Nah, that's not me."
He captioned the video, "When your wife asks you about the Strictly curse and that's not you."
JB was recently forced to hit back at the Strictly fix row he's found himself in.
The Love You More songster was recently announced as part of the upcoming line-up of the dance competition which kicks off soon.
However, before he has even stepped foot on the dancefloor, he has become embroiled in a fix row.
It started after it came to light owe JB previously appeared on - and won - the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special in 2012, where he was partnered with pro Ola Jordan.
However, he now wants to put any rumours that he is a "trained dancer" to bed.
While speaking to MailOnline about Chloe's reaction to his Strictly news, JB explained: "She's can't wait to offer advice which I'm very grateful for because I'm not a trained dancer.
"I'll be able to hear from her and work alongside my pro with. She can't wait for the journey to start just like I am."
Also in 2017, JB appeared alongside Chloe in ITV show Dance Dance Dance, with the couple finishing up in third place.
Meanwhile, after being announced as being part of the Strictly 2024 line-up, the Beat Again singer said: “I danced in the Strictly Christmas special over a decade ago and loved it, so when I got the call to join Strictly this year, it was an immediate yes from me.
"I’m raring to go to and looking forward to showing off some new skills to the JLS boys.
