Joanne has also previously revealed to The Express that Kevin has pursued a stage career to be "happier". "Kevin said he got his inspiration from me to go into musicals," she said. "He always thought he would be a dancer and stuff, choreographing, then he said he saw the path that I took when I left Strictly and saw how happy I was on the stage and said he wants to feel that happiness." She added: "He saw how happy I was and was like, 'Oh I want to be that happy too!'"
