Stacey Dooley breaks her silence after Kevin Clifton romance to insist there are ‘two sides to every story’
STACEY Dooley has insisted there are "two sides to every story" after her secret romance with Kevin Clifton was revealed.
The Strictly Come Dancing champion has spoken for the first time since her scorned ex-boyfriend Sam Tucknott exposed her relationship with her former dance partner.
She told fans: "Anyone with any adult life experience knows there are 2 sides to every story.
"I haven’t got the time or energy to correct some of the utter nonsense I’ve read on here.
"Re Sam, I loved him v much and only wish him happiness and success going forward."
She broke her silence after Sam revealed he found a text from Kevin, which read: "I love you."
Sam told The Sun on Sunday he and the TV star had agreed to split and were clearing their flat when the message flashed up on her mobile.
Stacey, 32, then texted him at 8.33pm that day — April 1 — to explain she’d fallen for Kevin, 36, who she won the last series with.
She wrote: “Sam, I know you hate me at the moment.
“But you saw I didn’t start entertaining and texting him (Kevin) until I split up with you. I was not with you when we started it all.
“I did fall for him but when we were done. I will tell you anything you want to know.”
Heartbroken Sam replied: “I don’t hate you Stacey. I hate what you’ve done.”
Stacey insists she and Sam separated following a row on Boxing Day — becoming the 15th couple to fall foul of the show’s curse.
