The rumours started after an article was published in The Sun claiming Kevin had found it a struggle to work alongside his ex-wife, Karen.
An insider told the tabloid: “Kevin has been overheard backstage saying he feels the time is right for him to move on and that winning the contest won’t weigh heavily on his decision.
“He has absolutely loved his time on the show and the opportunities that it’s given him but he is getting itchy feet and there’s still tension with Karen.
“While things are slowly getting more civil between them, it’s not exactly fun spending time around your ex.”
Kevin and Karen confirmed their three-year marriage was over in March this year, but insisted they remain “best friends”.
They’ve been forced to work side by side for this series of Strictly, including a dance together to open the live shows.
ED! contacted Kevin’s representative for comment earlier, but he’s saved them a job now!
Apparently we can all take the gossip with a pinch of salt.
