Mumbai: Both Ben Cohen and his former Strictly Come Dancing partner Kristina Rihanoff have adamantly denied claims they had an affair, leading to the breakdown of his marriage.
But professional dancer Kristina, 37, admitted the false speculation and online trolls caused her to become so disheartened that on her birthday she considered taking her own life. Kristina told The Sun: “In that moment I couldn’t find a single positive thing to say to myself, I just thought, ‘What is the point?’. Everywhere I looked it was all wrong and dark and I’d had enough. I wanted to quit the show, quit everything.”
Kristina who admitted she also considered quitting Strictly went on to detail some of the abuse she suffered on Twitter, including having people call her a home wrecker and ugly.
In September rugby ace Cohen, 36, hit back at claims Kristina was involved in the breakdown of his 11-year marriage to wife Abigail, the mother of his seven-year-old twin daughters.
He was partnered with the blonde beauty on last year’s series of the hit BBC show, 12 months before he announced the separation and after weeks of speculation, he insisted their relationship was strictly platonic.
