Curse of Strictly strikes again as Susanna Reid and partner separate.
We can look at some numbers to answer that question.
We could look at married people and we could look at unmarried people.
Married people are easier to look at statistically because there's more data available from censuses.
So among Strictly contestants, there have been, sadly, two married people who have separated in the same year as their appearance on Strictly.
Of course, in Strictly, people are paired up.
And so there have been 150 celebrities.
So multiply that by two, because we're considering both the contestants and the dancers.
So that gives you 300 person years.
The UK national divorce rate in the last census was about 0.3%.
of the population per year.
If you look at the US census in 1900, you can rank the professions there by the divorce rate, and top of the list is actors and showmen.
If you look at the US census in 2000, then top of the list of divorce rates is dancers and choreographers.
If we take into account the correction for the fact that...
Essentially, people in this context are dancers.
Then we'd apply a factor of 2.6.
So taking us to an expectation of about 2.3 divorces in that time.
That's exactly right.

Waiters and waitresses, entertainers and performers, sports and related workers.
