Ben Would Have Been Happy With Robin

Ben Cohen would have been open to having a male partner, and would have been happy to dance with Robin.

Ben, who is a strong supporter of the gay community, told the Sunday Mirror: “I've no qualms dancing with a woman or a man. Kristina will be easier to pick up though... I like to break down stereotypes.”

Robin said: “[Ben] kept saying to me, ‘I hope they put me with you’, but it wasn't to be. He’s amazing, the things he has done for the gay ­community. I adore him.”
