Kevin Clifton: Strictly 2019 pro addresses time away from girlfriend Stacey Dooley

He said: “Me and Stacey were doing quite well, she was improving around Blackpool and I wanted to do a great number and bit of me was thinking can we win this?”

“I probably let that get into my head a little bit,” Kevin acknowledged.

Kevin admitted he was “gutted” they didn’t get 10s all round and ended up getting emotional, with Stacey asking why he’s “annoyed”.

“I was gutted,” he said. “Stacey was like ‘why are you so emotional tonight, what’s wrong? I thought it went really well’.”

He went on: “I was like it did, it was amazing and she was like ‘so why are you annoyed?’ because I thought we were going to get nines and 10s but we got sevens.

“But I was really gutted, we smashed it, it was a great dance.”
