So I'm guessing she'll definitely not be back next year. Congratulations to Kristina and Ben though

3 Months Pregnant...

Guess that means she won't be back this year for Strictly

Grats Kristina

She's just announced in on Celeb Big Brother. Her private life is a mess.

How many songs are there about a baby not being the way to try to keep a man, I wonder?

What a player!

Congratulations to Kristina and Ben.

I'm guessing that she won't be doing Strictly, this year.

Digital Spy just tweeted the news.

Goodness me. Well at 38 I guess she had to weigh up if it was ever going to happen and her days on Strictly were probably numbered.

The cynic on this board, (myself included).

"Kristina, what can you bring to CBB that would be worth us paying you all this money?"

Is Ben working?

How are they going to support themselves after she leaves CBB?

I wish her the best of luck as I've always liked her.

Wow. Well The Daily Mail will be delighted, that'll keep their website hits up for another few months.

Anyway, good luck and congrats to her and Ben (is that his name? I didn't watch that series and to be fair he's hardly mentioned in all the gossip about her).

Ben's ex-wife is going to go absolutely nuts.

I'm sure she'll get a nice fee from CBB that'll keep them comfortable for a while and she can always go on to dance teaching (if she hasn't done so already) once the baby's born. I'm sure they're in a far better position, financially, than a lot of people having babies.

Can't blame the poor woman, she will be very upset I would imagine.

However, as much as I think Krisitina is a bit of a madam, I wish her all the best for motherhood.

Kristina's pregnancy is already mentioned on Ben Cohen's Wiki page.

That was quick!

A lot of other people are certainly likely to be better off than someone who has an ex-wife and two kids to support.

I've been using wiki pages to help me practice HTML coding.

Klassy as always.

WOW... didn't see this one coming at all!

Congrats Kristina. I think she'll make a fantastic mum actually, and wish her well. I agree with BeeBumble, people a lot worse off have kids and make it work. The main thing is that the child is loved and I'm confident that will be the case.

Lovely news she will be a brilliant Mum so pleased for her.

I'm sure I read that she split with Joe C because he was adamant he would not have children and she wanted a baby. I think she will be a good mum tbf.

It's quite a lot of money they get. BB pay pretty well compared to Strictly. I think it's 100k upwards depending...so not to be sniffed at.

Unexpected but congratulations to her and Ben!

Nice to see a happy bombshell on CBB for once!

Really happy for her, she'll be an excellent Mum.

Do you think CBB would really have hired her if they knew about this?
Sneaky

Yup apparently she got paid over a 100k and that's all her money so I doubt Ben's child support is coming out of that. I think that's plenty to provide for a child with for a year or two. They're actually quite lucky they'll be able to spend plenty of time with their new baby.

...yes?

BIB Not quite the case. If they're living together and Ben pleads poverty over child support then the lCSA will consider her income too. But I am sure he's supporting his children, so it's a moot point.

Anyway, that's the legal details over, back to the gossip

So she was pregnant whilst in Strictly eh? Nobody called that one, I remember a couple of 'is Kellie pregnant?' posts and Ola being mentioned but not Kristina.
