Angela Rippon is no stranger to the TV screen and has been delighting fans with her performances on Strictly Come Dancing, however she is very private about her life off screen
The BBC's most senior Strictly Come Dancing contestant, Angela Rippon, has been delighting fans with her dance skills and impressive flexibility with partner Kai Widdrington.
The couple, who were sweethearts from an early age, tied the knot in 1967, just as Angela's career was taking off. Angela was only 22 years old at the time, and she reportedly met Christopher at a YMCA dance. Angela, reflecting on that "stressful" period in her life during an interview with Modern & Mature when she was 60, said: “It was a stress, of course it was.It was a very stressful period for all sorts of reasons. My immediate feeling was, 'Oh God, I've failed at this.'
“It made me realise that when you do a job that's public-facing, you have to respect the privacy of your partner. Hardly anybody – beyond my very close circle of friends – would know who my partners have been over the past several years."
