He recently called it quits with his Strictly pro girlfriend after a whirlwind 10-month romance.
And Anthony Quinlan has slammed claims he fell victim to the Strictly curse with Dianne Buswell, as she takes to the dancefloor with YouTube sensation Joe Sugg.
The Emmerdale actor, 34, revealed he's 'rooting for her and Joe' during their stint on the BBC competition series, and insisted he and his ex are 'still really good friends'.
In an interview with Daily Star, the soap star denied the Strictly curse claims as he revealed why he split from the 29-year-old:
'We’re still really good friends – it’s just distance played a part. There were all these rumours about the ‘Strictly’ curse but it wasn’t that.’
Anthony, who lives in Manchester, plays Pete Barton on Emmerdale, while Australian-born star Dianne resides in London.
Admitting that there's no bad blood between the pair, he added: 'I’m actually rooting for Joe and Dianne. They’re doing absolutely amazing in strictly and I still think the world of the girl. ‘We were really close, it just wasn’t meant to be.'
On Monday, Anthony attended the Inside Soap Awards 2017, while Dianne decided to snub the event and avoid any chance of an awkward run-in.
The red-haired dancer's split from Anthony comes amid claims everyone on the hit BBC One dance show had been discussing how 'close' Dianne and her celebrity partner Joe, 27, had become.
With the professional dancer said to be 'enjoying spending time' with the YouTuber following her break up.
'Everyone on set's been discussing how close they'd become. It did not go unnoticed by Anthony,' a source told The Sun.
