Stacey Dooley has spoken out after her ex-boyfriend Sam Tucknott claimed he found 'secret' texts' from her Strictly Come Dancing partner Kevin Clifton.
It was only last month that Stacey and Sam called time on their five-year relationship following reports that he was 'paranoid' about her relationship with Kevin. Sam has since spoken out and claimed he found text messages from Kevin on Stacey's phone that said 'I love you' with a red love heart.
After confronting Stacey, she reportedly said she only fell for Kevin after their relationship ended.
He went on to recall the moment he questioned Kevin over the messages, "He went white. I just stuck it on him: 'You’re an absolute rat, how you conducted yourself. Just a slippery, slimy snake.'
"He didn’t say a word, he looked petrified, so shocked."
