Ross King’s Strictly Debut: Love and Low Scores

Ross King, 63, faced a bittersweet start on Strictly Come Dancing’s first live show, scoring just 10/40 for his cha-cha-cha with pro partner Jowita Przystal. Despite landing at the bottom of the leaderboard, the showbiz correspondent found joy in the unwavering support of his girlfriend, Bridget, who flew 5,000 miles from Hollywood to cheer him on.

The couple, dating for three years, has kept their relationship private, making Bridget’s appearance a rare public moment. Cameras captured her in a sleek strapless black dress beside Ross’s sister Elaine, sparking fan curiosity. “It’s so lovely she came,” Ross said, joking, “I told her there might not be many of these!”

Third Time the Charm?
Ross, twice divorced, hinted at possibly marrying again. “Never say never,” he shared recently. “I’m a believer in love. Bridget’s brilliant in every way.” His romantic history includes marriages to actress Charley (1999–2006) and Brianna Deutsch (2015–2022), both amicable splits.

Bridget’s transatlantic trip mirrored her July visit to Glasgow, where Ross introduced her to family over espresso martinis. “She’s seeing what my life’s about,” he said, calling Glasgow “home.” On a podcast, he gushed, “We have a great life in LA. She’s beautiful and lovely.”

Past Romances and New Beginnings
Ross’s first wife, Charley, starred in West End and Broadway shows. Though divorced, they reunited warmly at a 2023 BAFTA event. His second marriage to Brianna, 22 years his junior, included a star-studded wedding with guests like Gerard Butler and Gary Barlow. Despite splitting in 2022, they stayed friendly.
