BBC Strictly Come Dancing favourite announces break from 'all work'

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Kevin Clifton has confirmed he will be taking a career break to focus on being a father. The dad-of-one said he will be halting 'all work' after becoming a father to Minnie with documentary maker Stacey Dooley.

Kevin, who appeared in the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are on Thursday, June 22, told Digital Spy: "I left Strictly Come Dancing and then coronavirus > Covid happened. Then since we came out of Covid I’ve sort of gone back-to-back with different shows non-stop.

"It went Singin’ in the Rain, Rock of Ages, The War of the Worlds, Burn the Floor. Then I did The Games on ITV, Who Do You Think You Are? and then back to Singin’ in the Rain on tour. Then I started rehearsals for Strictly Ballroom the day after I finished Singin’ in the Rain.”
