Stacey Dooley has insisted there are "two sides to every story" after her ex, Sam Tucknott, claimed she's in a relationship with Strictly Come Dancing pro, Kevin Clifton.
Stacey and Kevin foxtrotted all he way to the final as Sam, 30, cheered on from the crowd last December.
But this weekend Sam sensationally branded thrice-married Kevin, 36, a 'slippery, slimy snake' and claimed to have discovered an "I love you" text from Kevin to Stacey just after their split.
Now, Stacey has fought her corner without confirming or denying the romance claims.
Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton's 'romance sparks anger' amongst Strictly co-stars
"Anyone with any adult life experience knows there are 2 sides to every story," she tweeted this morning.
"I haven’t got the time or energy to correct some of the utter nonsense I’ve read on here.
"Re Sam, I loved him v much and only wish him happiness and success going forward."
Kevin and Stacey reportedly grew closer during the Strictly Come Dancing tour - in a move that is said to have angered their co-stars.
Kevin only split from fellow Strictly pro Karen Clifton in 2017 while Stacey's now ex-boyfriend Sam Tucknott had been a set regular, cheering her on from the audience each week.
And according to reports, the rest of the cast and crew were outraged when they began to suspect something was going on during the tour.
Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton's 'romance' was 'open secret' on Strictly tour
"Stacey was a really popular member of the group but when she started getting closer to Kevin it upset some dancers and celebrities. As far as they were concerned, she did still have a boyfriend," a source tells the Sun, claiming Stacey, 32, "didn't hide the fact she wasn't happy at home."
Kevin couldn't join the tour due to prior commitments on Rock Of Ages, but was still a "regular feature", claims the insider.
"Everyone believed romance was blossoming between them Kevin was a regular feature. He'd cheer Stacey on when he could, then spend time with her and the other sat the hotel," the source continued.
"Stacey would spend a lot of time speaking to Kevin and about Kevin with the others. At first it seemed she was being that way because he was her dancer partner and couldn't take part in the tour. As time passed everyone suspected something might be going on. But no-one called them out."
For Sam's part, he claims Kevin treated him like a 'best mate' to begin with, but cooled as the series went on to the point where he didn't reply to Sam's message of congratulations after his win.
Sam says he found a receipt for cupcakes that Stacey had sent to Kevin on the opening night of his new show in Glasgow.
And on April 1, he alleges he he discovered a text sent to Stacey by Kevin which read, "I love you.
"Looking back you think, 'You thick f***er' but I just didn't want to believe it," Sam said.
Kevin has yet confirmed or deny the claims.
