Strictly’s Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton returning to launch new series

Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton will be returning to ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ to launch the show.
The 32-year-old television presenter, who began dating the professional dancer after they were crowned winners of the 2018 series of the BBC show, will be back to open this year’s contest with an epic dance routine next Saturday (07.09.19).
Sharing her excitement on Instagram Stories, the documentary maker wrote: "We coming back to launch the new series … see you there."
The flame-haired star also shared a picture of her having her glam done, and wrote in the caption:
"See you Sat eve kidssssss @bbcstrictly @bbcone. (sic)"
Meanwhile, Stacey recently gushed about her relationship with Kevin and insisted she is "happy" and feels "very lucky" to have him.
She said: "Kev and I have agreed not to go into too much detail about our private lives because you can’t really indulge that and then ask for privacy.
"That’s why we’ve turned down interviews that have offered us tens of thousands of pounds. What I am happy to say is Kev’s amazing, I’m happy, life happens, I’ve got an amazing career and I’m very lucky."
And Stacey thought she deserved to win the prestigious Glitterball trophy because she "worked really hard" to win the series, and had no idea how to do the "waltz" before starring on the show.
Opening up about last year’s ‘Strictly’ final, she said: "I thought: ‘Why not? Someone’s got to win it.’
"Yes! [I deserved to win] I worked really hard. I didn’t know how to waltz beforehand, I didn’t know what a ballroom frame looked like."
