Kevin Clifton gave warning to Strictly bosses year before quitting 'I’d done everything!'

Kevin continued to Huffington Post: “I said to them, ‘If I carry on for an eighth year unless you go down the route of partnering me with a man, it’s sort of going to be a repeat of something I’ve already done’.”

A part of the dancer’s motivation to leave Strictly was to explore other avenues, such as appearing in a theatre production.

He added: “I’ve just turned 38, I didn’t want to do it just for the sake of being on TV… and I wanted to try and chase some other things that I really wanted to do, like theatre, which I really love doing.”

The star is now seeking to step out of his “comfort zone” as he gets older, but it has been made difficult due to theatres keeping their doors closed amid government restrictions.
