Strictly Come Dancing's Kevin Clifton shares hidden battle as he's supported by Stacey Dooley over 'wonderful five years'

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Kevin Clifton has bravely told his fans of his hidden struggle before enjoying the most 'wonderful five years' since meeting his girlfriend Stacey Dooley. The documentary maker was among the first to support her man as he shared a sweet post about how his life has turned around.

Kevin, who starred as a professional dancer in the BBC One dance contest from 2013 to 2019, where he finished in second place four times before lifting the Glitterball trophy with Stacey in 2018, said he was "celebrating the most wonderful past 5 years" and thanked his partner for helping him "fall in love with dancing again."

In a candid Instagram post, Kevin shared a photo of himself from a time he wasn't "doing well" some years ago "Don’t like to talk about it too much in public but a few years ago I wasn’t always doing as well as I always tried to make out," he typed in the caption.
