JUST hours after his stint on Strictly was confirmed, George Clarke revealed he’s dating a stunning lingerie model.
Here’s everything we know about the up-and-coming star’s relationship with Yasmin Bennett.
On Saturday, November 15, 2025, George Clarke dedicated his rumba routine to his mum Nicky, revealing the sad news that she was facing a cancer battle.
George said into the camera: “Unfortunately, recently she got diagnosed with cancer. Nobody deserves what she has gone through, but least of all her. It feels like it’s taking up so much of her life now.”
He also opened up on her previous health battles, saying: “When I was 16, I was about to leave for hockey practice with my dad and he said, ‘Oh I’ll just check on Mum one more time’ because she was feeling a bit ill.
“He went upstairs and she was having a seizure. She was diagnosed with a brain inflammation called encephalitis.”

Speaking to pro partner Alexis Warr, George added: “I had no idea what it was and most people that do know is because it has affected them in a horrible way.
“She’s the most selfless person I’ve ever met. When she came out of hospital was apologise for what she’d put us through.”
Despite a positive reaction from the audience, George only scored 29 for the moving performance to Lily Allen’s version of Somewhere Only We Know.
This placed him third from bottom on the leaderboard for the week.

Craig Revel Horwood told George: “Technically, that wasn’t great. I’ve got to be honest.
“And you know what? It actually wasn’t a rumba. So for me, it was difficult to judge.
“I’m supposed to be judging a rumba but instead you danced a contemporary dance that belongs really in musical theatre.”

She is signed with the J’adore Models agency and has collaborated with pro photographers including Tomila Katsman.
Her Instagram profile offers a mix of glamorous shoots, stylish selfies and an array of travel snaps from glamorous locations all around the world.
George confirmed he is dating Yasmin Bennett during an August 2025 livestream on social media, according to his fans on Reddit.
One wrote: “Caught me off guard because he is a very private person specially about his dating/love life.
“Even on the pod he has expressed his desire to keep things private and off socials.”
The fan continued by saying they saw clips from one of George’s live streams, during which he said the name “Yasmin A” – her online persona is Yasmin Ameelia, rather than Bennett.
They added: “[He] confirmed he follows her insta and requested to give her space to be her own person.”
On the stream, George reportedly said: “I’ve been seeing someone for a little while – it’s been official for about a month and a half.
“I’ve always said I don’t want it to be, if I did have a relationship, I wouldn’t want it to be a public thing.
“But I feel like it’s just a nicer feeling to have it be known and be private. As opposed to it being a complete secret.”

The pair were seen piling on the PDA, including sharing a smooch on the red carpet.
In an exclusive chat with The Sun ahead of the Strictly Halloween special, George opened up about Yasmin, and it seems she’s loving being a Strictly wag so far.
He said: “She’s fully behind it. She has not yet got the ’ick! Well, I hope she hasn’t!
“I’m loving the spray tans, I live for two or three days a week looking unbelievably tanned and people are complimenting me, saying I look so healthy.
“Yas says she actively prefers me with a tan. So now I’m thinking, ‘S**t! I’ve got to keep up with this man I’m pretending to be for a few months’.
