Strictly's Kevin Clifton and sister Joanne join Duchess Camilla on Oliviers red carpet

Oh what a night!

April 7, 2019

The Oliviers is the biggest night in British theatre, and it was even more special for Strictly Come Dancing star Kevin Clifton - who was accompanied by his sister Joanne Clifton on the red carpet. The Strictly siblings looked great as they attended the star-studded event while walking arm-in-arm. In the run-up to the event, Kevin and Joanne shared their excitement about it with fans on their social media channels. "HONOURED to be presenting the 'Best Theatre Choreographer' at the @olivierawards 2019 with @realjoanneclifton!" wrote Kevin.

Joanne Clifton

The pair posed with each other, and Joanne showed off her glittering gown with its deep plunge and wrap-around skirt. Kevin made the special appearance after wrapping up his own musical production - Rock of Ages - on Saturday, until it returns in June. He presented an award at the ceremony for Best Theatre Choreographer, but perhaps next year he will return as a nominee after his show's success?

The Duchess of Cornwall

Kevin and Joanne were in royal company, as the Duchess of Cornwall - known for being a big Strictly fan - also attended the night at the Royal Albert Hall on a solo visit. The Duchess dazzled in a black gown with sparkly accents. She was there to celebrate and honour the best people in theatre, including nominees Gillian Anderson, Sophie Okonedo, Sir Ian McKellen and David Suchet.
