   Chris married Rosie Winter in July 2014, and they have one son, Robin.

   In 2018, the couple announced that they had a miscarriage when they were 12 weeks pregnant with their second child.

   Rosie is a singer, actress and former professional dancer herself. She has already started making jokes about the so-called ‘Strictly curse', where celebs split from their significant others after affairs with their professional dance partners.
