Kristina Rihanoff has claimed that a change in diet to veganism saved the life of her partner Ben Cohen, after the former England rugby star nearly died over the summer because of a battle with glandular fever.

The 40 year old ex-‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional, who met Ben on the show in 2013, spoke to Lorraine Kelly on ITV on Friday morning (September 29th), and revealed that her boyfriend was seriously ill a few months ago having contracted glandular fever.

“It's been terrible. But he was getting really, really bad, day after day and at some point he said, 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe. I feel like something is going on with my heart' and he got to the doctors and the doctors got him to A&E right away and they said if hadn't come on time basically he would have been really, really bad.”
