Strictly winner Stacey Dooley was rumoured to be secretly dating her dance partner Kevin Clifton. Prior to Kevin she was with boyfriend of five years Sam Tucknott.

Strictly Come Dancing Affairs and Controversy
Claudia Winkleman presenter of ‘Strictly’ has shared her views on the curse of strictly come dancing. She told the sun :
“I don’t believe in the curse, but I think lots of people have come in single and they might have met somebody or had a little romance. It’s intoxicating, Strictly, because you’re all part of this extraordinary juggernaut. So I don’t think people fall in love with people, they might just love the experience.”
Brendan with his past dance partners
Brenda Cole Pro dancer on the show, has this to say about the rumoured affairs.
“It’s definitely a thing. You can’t deny it after all these years of seeing different people falling in love. It’s a great curse. I love the curse.
“It’s the nature of the beast that if you work closely with somebody, love is going to blossom, and hopefully the people involved are single. Every year you’re guaranteed some smoke somewhere.”
In 2015’s series, Georgia and Giovanni met when they were paired up on the show. Giovanni was accused of starting a relationship with Georgia while she was still in a relationship with her ex Corrie co-star Sean Ward.
