Strictly Come Dancing made Susanna Reid a star, but it appears to have cost the BBC Breakfast presenter her relationship.

While Reid has spent the past few weeks on the road for Strictly’s live arena tour, her long-term partner and father of her three children, Dominic Cotton, has had enough and separated from her — signing up to a dating website to find new love.

It is just the latest example of the ‘Curse of Strictly’, which has seen numerous couples split up after appearances on the BBC show.

Susanna Reid has been crowned newsreader of the year at an awards bash days after announcing her defection to ITV.

The former BBC Breakfast host and Strictly Come Dancing runner-up beat BBC newsreader Fiona Bruce and Daybreak's Lorraine Kelly to the gong.

Susanna, who recently split from her long-term partner and the father of her children, is moving to ITV to launch new show Good Morning Britain.

Susanna thanked her former BBC Breakfast colleagues in her first public appearance since announcing her move to ITV.

She was presented with the award by Breakfast presenter Charlie Stayt.

Appearing to acknowledge the split in her personal life, she told the audience: "Well, it's been a couple of weeks and this is definitely a highlight.

"Obviously you know things have been changing in my life but this (the award) is all down to one team and that's the team at BBC Breakfast who have been utterly brilliant.

"I have the privilege of being the main presenter of the programme since the move to Salford. It's a fantastic team. I have been lucky enough to present with Charlie and Bill (Turnbull).

"This award is not about me but is testament to all the work that everyone else puts in... the chemistry you have with your co-presenters... it's a huge thank you to them."
