MOVIE star Emma Thompson gave hubby Greg Wise condoms in case he succumbs to the Strictly “curse” and cheats with dance partner Karen Hauer.
The Oscar-winning actress, now 62, admitted that she was worried about Greg Wise, 55, her actor in Netflix’s The Crown. Greg played Lord Mountbatten and could leave her to make way for the younger Latino champ.

Emma, who married Greg 18 years ago, said: “I am worried about the Strictly curse, very much so.
“I have put a packet of Durex into Greg’s good luck card. Only two.
“But you don’t know, do you?
“They haven’t got time for a lot of shagging, I hope, they’ll be so exhausted.
“I don’t go to the show every week.
“Karen’s gorgeous, she’s from Venezuela and is only 39.”
Meanwhile, the couple’s daughter Gaia, 21, added that her dad would be prepared to perform shirtless because he has a six-pack.
At the Icon Ball for London Fashion Week on Friday night, she said: “He has a six-pack and will take his top off if he is needed to.”
Greg has asked for advice from last year’s winner, Bill Bailey, 56.
He said: “Bill was very useful. He advised me to take my patent leather ballroom boots and wear them around the house.
“He had a problem with blisters on his heel over the run.”
