Strictly Come Dancing stars Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton delighted fans when they turned up to training in adorable matching outfits.

Clifton, who has been a professional on the show since 2013, shared a sweet training room snap on Thursday showing the pair looking very similar.

Fans rushed to comment on the funny post, saying that they “loved watching them together” and even asking Clifton if he was going to dye his hair to match Dooley.

Dooley and Clifton got their highest mark of the series last week when they scored 36 for their Street and Commercial dance to Empire State of Mind .

The couple received 9s across the board despite having lost two days of training after Dooley suffered an injury to her intercostal rib .

The BBC Three documentary maker vowed to continue with the show, updating fans on her condition from her hospital bed, although there were fears she was “holding back” in training because of the pain .

This weekend, Dooley and Clifton will dance a Waltz to Moon River by Audrey Hepburn, hoping to stay in the competition another week.

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday November 10 at 7pm on BBC One.
