Strictly's Kelvin Fletcher's wife 'falls in love with him more' each time he dances

The wife of Strictly Come Dancing's Kelvin Fletcher revealed she falls in love with him more and more every time she sees him dance.

Liz Marsland, who has been married to Emmerdale actor Kelvin since 2011, spoke to the camera during Saturday's live final as she talked about his Strictly journey.

Glowing with pride, Liz said: "I'm just beyond proud watching Kelvin dance.

"I just fall over him again and again.

"He's just mesmerising to watch."

Viewers praised Liz for taking it in her stride that a lot of viewers across the nation were lusting after her husband - not least of all Shirley Ballas, who fanned herself over "oily" Kelvin when critiquing his Rumba with his dance partner Oti Mabuse.

"Also shout-out to his wife who seems lovely and is a great example of trust, respect & support in your partner, while the nation lusts after him".

Another added: "Kelvin’s wife saying she falls in love with him all over again when watching him dance has gotten me all emosh".

A third commented that during once of Kelvin's dances, Liz was "looking at him like she can't wait to get him home".

Liz and Kelvin share two children - Marnie, three, and Milo, one.

The public vote for the winner was plagued with technical issues as voters complained their votes were not being accepted.

hey were shown an error message which told them they had reached their maximum number of votes, despite not having cast their vote yet.

One person tweeted: "Problem with strictly come dancing voting!! hadn't even voted and its saying ive used all my votes".

Another viewer said the website was telling them they had lost connection, but their internet connection was fine.

One called the final a "total shambles", while others pointed out the show should have expected a high number of votes.

The BBC wrote a statement on their website that said: "We are receiving a high volume of votes.

"If you are experiencing difficulties please try again later."
