So where has all this criticism of Kristina come from?

Somewhere around about the spleen area?

I guess because of Joe and Vincent, because she was his dance partner, they have remained friends and have been seen together people are just assuming she is involved, most are just jumping to their own conclusions - as always on this forum

I don't like to comment on other women's looks generally, aside from voicing disgust at the Domestos grade bleach jobs some give their hair, but Kristina is great looking from the neck down, imo.

I don't know how old she is, but I bet it's about 15 years younger than I think she looks.
Over-bleaching is very, very aging.

Because generally people are not stupid and naive.

She is 36 years old, I think (late 1977, I believe). Surprised she is still in it, as almost all other female pro's are from '82 or '83 (only Nat and Iveta are somewhere in between).

I like Kristina and I find it really alarming that unsubstantiated rumours are being taken as fact and discussed as such with such vehemence and dislike towards her.

Nobody has confirmed that Kristina & Ben are an item and until they do...I suggest those that patently dislike her put their pitchforks away.

Moreover, if anything is going on....he is the man with a wife and family and she is single. I loathe how it is always the woman that gets the flack.

I concur and especially with the BIB

It's pretty informed speculation though. We haven't seen photos of them doing the deed but those photos of taken of Ben and Kristina together on the tube with his arm round her, twiddling her hair and her putting her head on his shoulder are not exactly photos any wife would like to see. Those were supposedly taken in June with the Mirror then doorstepping the poor wife and both of them denying any marital issues, Mirror then publishes and 10 days later they are separated. The press release always denies third-party involvement but you'd have to be pretty naive to take that at face value.
None of which justifies all the name calling of Kristina.

I only saw a picture with Ben's arm around the back of Kristina's seat and them in close conversation on the tube. If that constitutes an affair, then most people with a close friend of the opposite sex are having an affair... and that is unlikely to be true. I certainly must remember not to let my male friends give me a hug or put their arm around my back on public transport in case someone gets the wrong idea!

Ben and his wife have denied there was a third party involved so it seems unfair to bandy around accusations of Kristina being a marriage wrecker (again). I will wait to make a judgement. In the case of Vincent, she was single and he had recently broken up with his girlfriend. I thought both said it was on the rebound. I also thought Joe Calzaghe had already split from his wife at the point of him doing SCD.

If all of this is true, then shame on them both, that's all I can say. He is an absolute jerk and she has no morals. Both are as fake as fake can be. Vain and attention seeking, maybe they deserve each other.

It seems some celebrities of a certain age and marital status (long term relationship or marriage) go on that show looking for someone to "have fun with" when their home life is boring. The dancers are no better than hired escorts, with the BBC pimping them out.

That's three strikes for Kristina, but the producers won't get rid of her because she makes headlines, and this entire debacle is proof of that. Horrible.

Reports definitely seemed to state that Vincent's PREGNANT girlfriend saw the situation very differently and as for Joe, he split with his girlfriend of 5 years, 1 week after meeting Kristina.

It seems that a man and a woman can't spend time together without people think something is going on between them.

Simon Webbe has apparently just broken up with his partner - or rather she dumped him after catching him "sexting" (dread word ) with a Playboy moddle.

His side of the story is different ... who knows, who really cares? (why have I just bothered to post this ..?)

Err, maybe I shouldn't have come into this thread, but am I the only person who finds these kind of discussions so boring that I can't be bothered to consider whether I disapprove? I haven't even opened the Pasha/Rachel thread. I was never excited by the Artem/Kara relationship and was never interested in any of Flavia's relationships either.. And as for Brian/Alli......zzzzzzzz

Maybe it's just me!

No, not just you..I'm with you there. Not interested one bit, Its no'one else's business anyway.

Vincent + pregnant girlfriend

Joe + girlfriend of 5 years

Ben + wife (if proves to have any substance)

Kristina + no bugger at all.

Seems the pitchforks should be prodding a few completely different victims imo. Sure, Kristina is pretty attractive and she may have let them all know that she was up for it if they were but she wasn't the one with commitments here. Maybe the moralistic among us might frown on someone prepared to step in with such alacrity the moment a poor, weak, powerless male gave way to his baser instincts but surely far bigger condemnation should be reserved for the male that disregarded his serious, long-term relationship the moment a pretty woman wagged her gusset at him.

The denizens of the DS SCD forums would fit right in with the crowds at the guillotine during the French revolution. All I can say is that I hope none of the ever serve on a jury - because they'll have the innocent in jail quicker than you can say 'innocent until proven ....:

Oh dear.....

I'm sorry but this made me chuckle

Thank goodness for that. i'm not alone!

Now the Daily Fail has decided to add their bit:

You certainly aren't alone. I am, however, astounded at how perfect some DS'ers are. Casting judgement on all and sundry (especially when it's all mere speculation and speculation by one of the most untrustworthy and seedy/misogynous of Redtops in any case) .... must be cold up there in those ivory towers.

I do wonder though why whenever there is a marriage breakup in the celebrity world some people refuse to blame the man at all. It's hypocrisy of the highest order.

Well said.

If a man is married and has an affair with an unattached woman, who is most in the wrong? in my opinion...

- He is most in the wrong
- She is also in the wrong but not as much as him

That does not say who is at fault though. The fault can lie at either door.

For example, if she stripped off naked and offered herself on a plate, she would be more at fault, although he would also be at fault.
