Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has branded the potential romance between Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton a blessing.
The controversial character lifted the lid on his thoughts on the so-called Strictly curse after it was reported the winners of last years dancing competition had shacked up.

It comes while pundits are wondering what the heck is going on with Stacey and Kev, after speculation continued to persist the two struck up a relationship following their Glitterball trophy win in December, and her split with partner Sam in March.
In an interview last week Sam recalled the moment he saw a text on Staceys phone from Kevin as they were preparing to move out of their flat.
He told The Sun: I was getting my stuff to leave. Stacey was in the loo. Her phone went and it was Kevin Clifton. I grabbed the phone and confronted her.
