Stacey Dooley has shared a rare photo of herself with Strictly Come Dancing professional partner Kevin Clifton, fuelling speculation they are an item following her recent split from ex-boyfriend Sam Tucknott.

The journalist posted the picture to her Instagram stories on Thursday evening, and the pair are beaming for the camera with their arms around one another in matching black jumpers.

Kevin has his arm around Stacey's shoulder, and she appears to be clutching his hand.

Stacey didn't add a caption to her picture, choosing not to directly address recent reports that she is dating the Strictly pro dancer.

She has been away in Washington D.C. filming a new documentary and the pair were reunited at Kevin's Burn the Floor show yesterday.

Kevin also shared the same sweet image to his own Instagram story last night, choosing to not add a caption but tagging his show's page underneath.

The image comes after Stacey's ex-boyfriend Sam, who is a personal trainer, claimed that he found a text on her phone from professional dancer Kevin saying "I love you" following the breakdown of their five-year relationship.

"The blame is with Kevin. He's an absolute rat," Sam told The Sun. "I was getting my stuff to leave. Stacey was in the loo."

He added: "Her phone went and it was Kevin Clifton - 'I love you' with a red love heart. I grabbed the phone and confronted her. She said she'd tell me everything I need to know."

Stacey later addressed Sam's comments to the tabloid on Twitter, writing: "Anyone with any adult life experience knows there are two sides to every story.

"I haven't got the time or energy to correct some of the utter nonsense I've read on here."

Stacey and Kevin were crowned champions of last year's Strictly Come Dancing, picking up the Glitter Ball trophy together.
