Following the Strictly Come Dancing live tour, Stacey Dooley was back on girlfriend duties as she finally watched Kevin Clifton in the West End production of The Wedding Singer. Taking to her Instagram Stories on Thursday, the documentary maker shared a cute snap of her congratulating her boyfriend backstage. "My clever star," she simply wrote across the lovely photo. Kevin then uploaded the same picture on his account, and gushed: "My girl came to me in The Wedding Singer last night @sjdooley."
