Louise, 44, was apparently furious with Kevin after he 'dropped her like a stone' when his relationship with 32-year-old Stacey was revealed.

Stacey was in a long-term relationship with 30-year-old Sam Tucknott during her time on Strictly but reportedly dumped him for Kevin.
The insider added that the agents "believe the fling has significantly damaged his reputation with the public".
