Kristina so busy tot 2 is on hold

- By Janine Yaqoob

KRISTINA Rihanoff says she wants a wedding and baby number two with Strictly lover Ben Cohen – when she is not quite as busy as she is right now.

The Russian dancer met the former rugby ace on the BBC show and they went on to have daughter Mila.

Now as Kristina, 40, prepares to go on tour for two months, she told how Ben will look after their 16-month-old.

“Ben’s an incredible dad,” she said. “I’m very lucky he’s on board with my project. It’s a lot of pressure on him but he’s very supportive of me.

“We’re really happy. Marriage and another baby is some time in the future but at the moment I’m busy.”

Kristina quit Strictly last year to start her family but she is now preparing for new show Dance to the Music, a tour starting in January.

And she is delighted to be returning to the stage alongside former Strictly dancer Robin Windsor and X Factor star Chris Maloney.

She said: “With my tour, I wanted to create a show like Strictly, appealing to every generation. We have the evolution of dance from the 20s.

“They can watch everything from Charleston to breakdanci­ng.”
