Kristina Rihanoff: Meeting Joe was like winning the lottery

Dancer delighted she's paired with boxer

Kristina Rihanoff had a fling with fellow Strictly star Vincent Simone in April

Strictly Come Dancing’s Kristina Rihanoff says she's hit the jackpot with her new partner.

The dancer has been paired with boxer Joe Calzaghe, and it's rumoured they may be an item.

‘Joe is a man of great power and strength and I have to admit, he’s very good looking,’ says Kristina.

‘Joe and I can dance all day and he is comfortable with the intimacy that dancing requires.'

Kristina, 31, who danced with John Sergeant, 65, last year, was delighted when she met Joe, 36. 

‘I prayed for a young one and when we met I felt like I’d won the lottery,’ she tells the Sunday Mirror.

‘My new partner has already exceeded all my expectations and my one hope is we can go all the way.’
