Bit harsh

Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton have been together since they won Strictly back in 2018.

Kevin had been married three times before his relationship with Stacey – a fact that has caused her to be given a cruel nickname.

Stacey Dooley addresses previous marriages of Kevin Clifton

Last year, Stacey appeared on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show.

During the ‘Send To All’ segment, Michael took a look at the content of Stacey’s phone.

As Michael opened up the phone, a photo of Stacey – on The Weakest Link this weekend (August 17) – and Kevin could be seen.

“Oh it’s you with your husband,” Michael remarked.

“Boyfriend!” Stacey quickly corrected him.

“Yeah, he’s been married a few times,” she then added.

Kevin has been married three times in the past. His first marriage was to Anna Melnikova. They married in 2003 and divorced in 2005.

The second marriage was to Clare Craze, who he married and divorced in 2013.

His third marriage was to his fellow Strictly co-star, Karen Hauer. They were married between 2015 and 2018.

It was at this point that the former Strictly champ made her shock confession.

“You know what’s funny, and I shouldn’t say this but oh well,” she then said.

“He’s been married three times before, so my mates call me Anne of Cleves.”

My mates call me Anne of Cleves.

As the audience fell about laughing, Michael then quipped: “Fourth time lucky.”

“That’s not the phrase,” Stacey replied.

“No, third time lucky – he should go back with her,” Michael then joked.

However, Stacey saw the funny side. “She’s quite nice, yeah,” she laughed.
