Stacey Dooley hits back at Kevin Clifton romance claims

She insisted there are "two sides to every story"

Stacey Dooley has said there are two sides to any story following reports of a romance with dance partner Kevin Clifton.

She has responded to claims that a relationship developed with the Strictly Come Dancing star while she was still involved with her ex-boyfriend, Sam Tucknott.

Stacey has branded the social media reaction to the rumoured romance “utter nonsense”.

The documentary-maker and Strictly winner took to Twitter to counter claims made about her private life, and wished her ex-boyfriend the best.

She wrote: “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, I loved him v much and only wish him happiness and success going forward. (sic)”

Kevin has yet to comment on the claims.

It has been reported that Sam apparently uncovered a relationship developing between the Strictly partners, which allegedly progressed while Stacey was taking part in the arena tour for the dance show.

The 32-year-old BBC personality and Sam ended their five-year relationship earlier in 2019.

Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Sam alleged: “The blame is with Kevin. He’s an absolute rat.”

Sam added that he and Stacey had already agreed to split when he claims to have seen the text, reportedly sent to her phone.

According to Sam, Stacey confessed to falling for Kevin during their time on the show.

It’s been said she insisted to Sam that nothing happened between the Strictly 2018 winners until after her relationship with her ex had ended.

Personal trainer Sam also indicated he “got closure” from Stacey “within a second”.

Last month, it was said Stacey and Sam had split.

A source told The Sun: “Stacey confided in her friends that she was struggling to hold down her romance with Sam because her life has been a whirlwind after Strictly.
