Former England rugby player Ben Cohen slams rumours that his former Strictly Come Dancing partner Kristina Rihanoff is involved in his marriage split.

Former England rugby player Ben Cohen has dismissed rumours that his former Strictly Come Dancing partner Kristina Rihanoff was involved in his split from wife Abigail.

The 36-year-old and his wife announced recently that the couple have decided to take a break from their 11-year marriage.

Widespread reports suggested that Rihanoff, who was paired with Cohen on the BBC reality show last year, played a role in the split.

To address the rumours, Cohen wrote on Facebook: "Stories have been published that are laced with innuendo about me, my wife Abby, and my friend and former Strictly Come Dancing partner Kristina Rihanoff.

"Kristina and I share the same passion for charity work and have helped each other with our charities to raise money and awareness.

"It is a desperately sad world, when two adults of different genders cannot have a friendship without being attacked maliciously. My wife and I have already issued a statement regarding our current marital issues, and we stand by that statement."

Cohen and Abigail have twin seven-year-old daughters together.
