Stacey Dooley’s partner Kevin Clifton admits ‘guilt’ over time apart after baby
While touring with Strictly Ballroom, Kevin Clifton, 40, has had no choice but to spend time apart from his TV presenter girlfriend Stacey Dooley, 36, and their baby daughter Minnie.
Stacey and Kevin first met when they were partnered up on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2018, before welcoming their first child in January 2023.
Stacey is often busy with her jet setting career as a documentary filmmaker, while Kevin is now rushed off his feet portraying his dream role, Scott Hastings, in musical Strictly Ballroom.
However, former Strictly pro Kevin recently admitted that he has been left feeling “a little bit guilty” while he’s on the road with the stage production and away from his girls.
Speaking on BBC’s Morning Live in February, Kevin gushed over becoming a father for the first time.

Kevin shared while discussing Minnie: “I’m obsessed, I’m absolutely obsessed. We’ve just completely fallen in love with her.”
He then candidly added: “I do feel a little bit guilty sometimes when I’m on the road.”
Despite his guilt over the situation, Kevin also revealed he does enjoy getting a good night sleep while he’s away from home.
“Like I miss them as they’re obviously at home, but I do get a night’s sleep,” he added.
Kevin also reminisced on when he and Stacey were paired up on Strictly, admitting he would have never predicted starting a family with the TV star at the time.
He divulged: “Who would have thought? If someone told us back then that in four or five years time, we’d be having a baby, [I wouldn’t have believed it].”
Stacey and Kevin first met on the BBC show soon after the latter’s third marriage to fellow Strictly pro Karen Hauer ended.
After the duo won the coveted Glitterball Trophy, they fell in love and went on to move in together.
The couple delighted fans after sharing the news that they had welcomed their little girl on January 10.
Stacey Dooley is appearing on Saturday Kitchen Live this morning at 9am on BBC One.
