Stacey Dooley Shares Cosy-Looking Snap With Kevin Clifton Amid Romance Rumours

The Strictly Come Dancing pair have yet to officially confirm if they're an item.

Stacey Dooley is doing little to dispel rumours that she and her former Strictly Come Dancing partner Kevin Clifton are romantically involved, after sharing a cosy-looking snap of them on her Instagram story.

Last month, it was claimed that Stacey and her boyfriend of three years had ended their relationship, with reports later claiming that the documentary presenter was now dating her Strictly professional partner, Kevin Clifton.

So far, the two have remained completely tight-lipped about the suggestion they’re an item, but Stacey had people talking once again on Friday, with an upload to her Instagram story.

Offering no further comment, she posted a picture of herself and Kevin grinning at someone off-camera, while he stood with his arm around her.

Shortly after it was first suggested that she and Kevin were an item, Stacey offered her only comment on the matter, when she tweeted: “Anyone with any adult life experience knows there are 2 sides to every story.

“I haven’t got the time or energy to correct some of the utter nonsense I’ve read on here.

“Re Sam [her ex-boyfriend], I loved him v much and only wish him happiness and success going forward.”

Meanwhile, Kevin recently said that the attention his personal life receives as a recurring star on Strictly can get “difficult” for him to deal with.

He explained: “In the last couple of years I’ve seen massive upheaval in my personal life and it hasn’t always been easy. And the times I’ve struggled and I was in a bit of a rut, I didn’t know what to do.”

Stacey and Kevin are the reigning champions of Strictly Come Dancing, after lifting the glitterball trophy last year’s final.
