Tom Dean & Ex Rekindle Romance Post-Strictly

Olympic swimmer Tom Dean has recently shared new photographs with his ex-girlfriend, Charlotte Phillips, fueling speculation about a reconciliation. These images emerged nearly two years after the couple's split in 2024, which occurred shortly after Dean's elimination from Strictly Come Dancing.

During his time on the BBC dance competition in 2024, Dean was partnered with Nadiya Bychkova, and they were the first couple eliminated that season. Following their breakup announcement, reports cited sources who insisted that the "Strictly curse" was not a factor, emphasizing that the relationship had simply "run its course."

Despite these reassurances at the time, Dean later sparked further romance rumors with Bychkova in December 2024. Meanwhile, Bychkova went on to participate in subsequent seasons of Strictly, partnered with Chris Robshaw in 2025 before her confirmed departure for the 2026 season.
