Susanna spilled: “I call it the Strictly coincidence. You know Kevin and I got on like a house on fire.

“And Strictly was not responsible for the break-up of my relationship.”

She continued: “I’m still fantastic friends with my ex. I’m still really good friends with Kevin.”

Kaye then exclaimed: “Stacey Dooley now, who was his [Kevin’s] partner and she’s now split up with her boyfriend. How will Kevin feel about all of these rumours?

“Because he is very much being identified as the guy who is always at the centre of the Strictly curse.”

Susanna replied: “Again, I would just say that it is a coincidence unfortunately. Especially, in my case.

“I mean I can’t talk about anybody else. Unfortunately our relationship [Dominic and Susanna] was at that stage.

“And I would say if you look at Strictly overall and everyone who has participated, the vast majority of people in relationships when they start Strictly end up in the same relationships.”

The Scottish presenter added: “There are a few though, that have split up.”

To which the Good Morning Britain host said: “Yes, I know but just like any workplace, I met my ex through work. That is a normal thing.”

Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha chuckled: “It’s like the Christmas party, sort of thing isn’t it.”

Susanna agreed saying: “There we go. Strictly is just like one big Christmas party.”

The ITV favourite appeared on the BBC series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2013 and was partnered with Kevin Clifton.

It comes after Stacey Dooley, 32, split from personal trainer Sam Tucknott, 30, after five years together in December.

He has since claimed he found texts on Stacey’s phone from Kevin and alleged she told him she had fallen for him.

Stacey recently took to Twitter to brandish the claims as “utter nonsense”.
