Professional dancer Kevin, 36, split from his dancer wife Karen last March. Sam Tucknott, the dumped boyfriend that was with Stacey during her Strictly experience, has been very vocal with his thoughts about their secret romance.
Speaking to The Sun previously, Sam said: "I have no respect for Kevin. I’ve tried to meet him since to get closure, but he won’t do it.
"He's an absolute complete f***ing rat with no b******* or decency to hear me out."
