Kevin's Strictly success comes amid increasing speculation about his private life. New reports at the weekend suggest that he is set to divorce his dancer wife Karen Clifton after three years of marriage. Kevin is said to have instigated the split after Karen was romantically linked to accountant Stuart Wood at the end of last year. He is since rumoured to have grown close to his former dance partner Louise Redknapp, who hired him as her choreographer following the end of the 2017 series.

Neither Kevin nor Karen have commented on the reports – and husband and wife will soon be embarking on a 44-date tour together around the UK. The couple will first appear together on 22 May in Northampton, and will perform in cities and towns including Blackpool, Manchester, London, Guildford, Glasgow and Plymouth, before finishing up in Dublin on 29 July.
