Strictly Come Dancing star Ross King didn’t have the best night on Saturday’s show, earning only 10 points, but he has good news happening in his personal life. He has a lot to be happy about outside of the competition.
The Lorraine presenter, aged 63, received enthusiastic support from his stylish girlfriend, who beamed with pride as she watched him perform the cha-cha-cha from the audience.
The Daily Mail has learned that Bridget Siegel, 43 – a restaurant CEO and 20 years younger than Ross – will remain in the UK to support him during his time on Strictly. She’ll be cheering him on from the audience throughout the competition.
Those who didn’t know Ross was dating someone new were surprised by how affectionate he was, especially since he’d ended his seven-year marriage to his second wife, Brianna Deutsch, in 2018.
Ross made a grand entrance, arriving at the ballroom by sliding down a large chute. He then partnered with Jowita Przystał, 31, and together they performed a routine that even included a ‘hip hop’ segment. The star playfully commented that at his age, it was more of a ‘hip operation’ than actual hip hop.
For those who knew him well, it wasn’t surprising to see Bridget – who’s in the high-end food and drink business – supporting Ross from the audience. Their relationship started in 2024 and quickly turned serious.
The TV presenter has gone as far as inviting Bridget into his lavish £1.5 million home in the Hollywood Hills. It’s a three-story house with a swimming pool and a recording studio designed to block out sound – he uses it to broadcast his segments for the Lorraine show live.
According to a source who spoke with the Daily Mail, Bridget immediately offered her full support to Ross when he was confirmed as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, promising to be there for him throughout the competition.
As she promised, she traveled from Los Angeles to be there for Ross and plans to stay in the UK for the duration of his participation in the competition.
Ross and Bridget were set up by friends in 2023, and they began dating last year. Now, Bridget has moved in with Ross at his house in the Hollywood Hills, and they are both really enjoying their time together.
She’s achieved great success as the CEO of a thriving restaurant company, and her impressive career is one of the reasons Ross was drawn to her.
At the end of his Strictly performance, Ross thanked his girlfriend for her unwavering support.
During the live broadcast, he shared, ‘It’s wonderful that my girlfriend, Bridget, traveled over 5,000 miles to be here. I encouraged her to come, telling her, “You really should, because opportunities like this might be limited.”‘
Currently, Ross’s girlfriend, Bridget, holds the position of chief operating officer at R3 Venture Studios, a company in the hospitality industry.
The US-based company builds the ‘next generation of exceptional consumer brands.’
She formerly served as the COO at Hart House, a plant-based fast-food restaurant, where she worked for two years. Before that, she held a comparable position at New York-based &Pizza for four years, first starting as their Head of Culinary.
Bridget previously spent a little over three and a half years at Munchery, a New York-based restaurant, where she served as Culinary Fairfield and Business Director for the East Coast.
Ross was previously married to Brianna for three years before they split in 2018.
The former couple got married in 2015 at a glamorous ceremony, with guests including Patsy Palmer and Vinnie Jones.
Their breakup, however, wasn’t reported until 2022, several years after they had separated.
The first wife of the Scotsman was actress Charley Izabella King. They married in 1999 and separated in 2006, after seven years of marriage.
Ross now shares a large home in the Hollywood Hills with Bridget, and it truly represents how far he’s come. It’s the perfect example of his achievement and success. More details are available online.
This property features an outdoor swimming pool and a balcony decorated with aqua blue cushions, creating a distinctly ‘Malibu’ vibe.
Inside, he celebrates his heritage, playfully calling the house his ‘Scottish castle.’ He welcomes visitors with a thistle-shaped light near the entrance, a symbol representing his home country.
The walls feature photos of Ross with several of his famous friends, such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, Gerard Butler, and Dolly Parton.
He also cherishes photos with Gary Barlow, who sang at his second wedding, and a picture of him meeting Queen Elizabeth-an experience he calls one of the most memorable and proudest moments of his life. It’s a truly special memory for him.
On YouTube series, Open House TV, Ross offered fans an exclusive peek inside his home.
He proudly displays his comfortable ‘cuddle’ chair, covered in soft blankets and pillows-ideal for relaxing. His living room also features a brown leather sofa that once belonged to Jackie Collins, and a large grand piano, great for playing music for visitors.
According to a source who spoke with the Daily Mail, Ross often holds private parties at his house for people in the entertainment industry. The Daily Mail reported that these gatherings are for his Showbiz friends.
Let me tell you about Ross – he’s just the most sociable person you could ever meet! I’ve heard he’s famous for throwing these amazing dinner parties, always with champagne flowing. And honestly, he’s unbelievably generous to everyone who comes. He really knows how to make his guests feel special. You can find more about his events on his website, if you’re interested!
Outside of work, like when he’s not on the red carpet, he enjoys dining at top-rated restaurants and going to glamorous parties. He truly embodies the fabulous LA lifestyle.
He has a home recording studio where he does his live TV broadcasts, including appearances on ITV’s Lorraine.
His home covers three stories and features a spacious swimming pool. It also boasts a large balcony offering views of the Hollywood Sign, and the house is decorated with framed photos of Ross and the famous people he’s interviewed. It’s quite a place! You can really feel the history there.
He has photos with famous people like Catherine Zeta-Jones, Gerard Butler, Julia Roberts, and Gary Barlow – it’s essentially a showcase of his glamorous life.
The home is nestled in a private area of the Hollywood Hills, and Ross has had famous neighbours like Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington.
Before starting on Strictly Come Dancing, Ross shared that he intends to remain based in Los Angeles and will only be in the UK for the duration of the competition.
‘No, no, I’m really enjoying being back,’ he said to the Daily Mail. ‘However, I also love Los Angeles and may return there before too long.’
Ross is currently in last place on the leaderboard, but he’s only a small number of points behind Chris Robshaw and Tom Skinner.
This week, the celebrities will perform again, and their scores from this week will be added to their scores from last week. Unfortunately, one star will be voted off by the public.
Ross mentioned that the training was proving to be quite challenging, but he was optimistic about potentially being named “most improved” during the competition. He expressed hope that he could earn that recognition during his time competing.
He explained that he hadn’t fully understood the difficulty until he began the rigorous training, which involved eight hours of work each day. He said: ‘I don’t think I really realised how hard this is until getting into the training of eight hours a day.’
I think we’ve all experienced this – working for what feels like eight hours straight. I initially planned to work in short bursts, maybe a couple of hours at a time and then take a coffee break, but it consistently ends up being a full eight-hour day.
Right now, I’m really excited to be offered this opportunity – especially a new skill that I can continue to develop. I’ve always wanted to get back into musicals, and having some dance knowledge would be fantastic. Ultimately, I’d love to become the most improved performer.
