Kevin Clifton would love WWE job

Kevin Clifton would love to work for WWE one day.
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ pro is an avid wrestling fan, and while he’d be "a bit scared" to get into the ring himself, he wants to be involved in some way in the future.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk, he said: "Oh yeah, definitely. I’d love it, but to do some of the real physical stuff, I’m probably a bit scared.
"I’ll never be a wrestler – it’s too late, I’m 37, and also I’m not built for it [laughs]. There’s always that thing – I’ve said to Stace a couple of times, I feel like one day I will work in the wrestling business somewhere.
"I don’t know where or how, or in what capacity, but I feel like it’s such a passion for me that I can’t not do it. There’ll be something at some point."
The star – who is in a relationship with Stacey Dooley – admitted he once went to a wrestling class with some friend, but he didn’t do quite as well as he hoped.
He added: "Even the simplest things like learning how to bump down onto your back, it batters! We all came out black and blue.
"We were supposed to be going on a night out that night, and half of us didn’t make it out because we felt awful! It’s way more difficult than they make it look."
Last month, Kevin announced his ‘Strictly’ departure on Instagram stating he is ready to move on with his career after seven years on the BBC ballroom competition.
He said: "Since first being called Kevin From Grimsby by Sir Bruce Forsyth in 2013 I have experienced the highs of 5 finals, winning a Guinness World record on ‘It Takes Two’, the Strictly Arena tour glitterball and then the ultimate of winning the 2018 series with Stacey Dooley.
"After finishing last series with the ‘Children In Need’ trophy and the Christmas Special I want to leave on a high and have therefore decided the time has come to move on and focus on other areas of my life and career."
