The Strictly curse has claimed another victim according to reports.
Sam Tucknott, the former boyfriend of Stacey Dooley has claimed that she ended their relationship to begin one with dance partner Kevin Clifton.
The pair had been together for five years until Dolley appeared - and won - the show.
They separated shortly aftrwards.
Tucknott claims things came to a head when he saw a message on her phone from Clifton, 36.
According to him it read: "I love dancing with you and spending every minute I can with you."
The personal trainer, 30, told the Mail on Sunday he believed that she has been secretly dating the professional dancer for some time.
He said: "I am so respectful of her, but I am gutted and disappointed and I feel so let down that she did not have the respect for me to tell me and just come clean.
"I am never going to believe her or trust her but ultimately I still love her."
He said he confronted Mr Clifton in a video call, adding: "He went white. I just stuck it on him.
"You’re an absolute rat. How you conducted yourself. Just a slippery, slimy snake."
"He didn’t say a word. He looked petrified. He looked so shocked."
When news of Sam and Stacey's split was announced in March, the break up had been put down to conflicting schedules, though there continuing growing rumours Stacey had fallen for her former Strictly mentor.
Viewers of the BBC dance series had noted documentary-maker Stacey and ballroom champ Kevin's undeniable chemistry - with their successful partnership ending in them lifting the glitterball trophy together in December.
Stacey, 31, hit out at the speculation in an interview with The Times, insisting that her partnership with Grimsby-born Kevin, 36, was purely platonic.
"The truth is Kevin and I are brilliant friends and he’ll be my pal for life,” she told The Times Magazine in Feburary.
“And Sam was probably the most supportive he has ever been. When I first got the gig he was just so made up.
"He was dancing around our living room. And every week he’d say, ‘Listen to Kevin. Kevin knows best," Stacey added. “He was a dream.”
But a source close to the couple said that Sam had been 'quite vocal' about Stacey's close partnership with Kevin.
