The Strictly pro's message to his former partner comes just one day after his glowing tribute to new 'girlfriend' Stacey was revealed.
The pair are said to be dating following her split from long-term boyfriend Sam Tucknott.
Stacey and Kevin won Strictly together last year, and while they haven't confirmed their romance, they haven't denied it either.
But earlier this week, 36-year-old Kevin gushed about Stacey as he took to the stage for the first night of his new stage show Burn The Floor.
He said: "In the last couple of years I’ve seen massive upheaval in my personal life and it hasn’t always been easy.
"There have been a lot of things thrown at me. At times I’ve struggled. And the times I’ve struggled and I was in a bit of a rut I didn’t know what to do."
Speaking about the negative publicity surrounding his personal life, Kevin added: "It gets difficult and I’m not the best at dealing with it.

"But at that point Burn the Floor stepped in again and the producers gave me a call and said, ‘Why don’t you come home.’ So it felt right and I came home.
"And thanks to Miss Stacey Dooley, I can finally say I’m the Strictly champion after six years of trying. It’s a miracle."
