Former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Kevin Clifton has announced he is taking a "career break" from "all work". The dancer wants to focus on being a dad.
Kevin became a father earlier this year when his partner Stacey Dooley gave birth to daughter Minnie. The pair became a couple after they danced together and won Strictly Come Dancing in 2018.
Kevin said he wants to take a break from working, reports Digital Spy. He said: "I left Strictly Come Dancing and then 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.”
