STRICTLY champ Kelvin Fletcher sent a string of sexts and X-rated photos to a blonde behind his wife’s back.
They swapped messages for over a year — even as rumours swirled of his closeness to TV dance partner Oti Mabuse.

The Emmerdale star, 36, suggested hotel meetings with the PR girl while filming shows away from mum-of-two Eliza.
A source told The Sun: “Kelvin makes out like he’s a devoted family man but what he’s been doing is so wrong. It’s like he can’t help himself.”
Our revelations come just days after pictures emerged of him partying with married dance partner Oti Mabuse, 29, until 3am — leading him to have crisis talks at home.
The new bombshell will further shock Kelvin’s wife, mum-of-two Eliza, who has known him since school.

A friend of the PR worker told The Sun last night: “Kelvin has publicly and repeatedly insisted that he’s not cheating on his wife with Oti.
“But for a year he has been sending graphic messages and images to a completely different woman.
“He was sexting and sending flirty messages to her before, during and after Strictly and while he was dancing with Oti. Poor Eliza has no idea.”
A source added: “Kelvin makes out like he’s a devoted family man. But when he’s away from home what he’s been doing is so wrong.

“It’s like he can’t help himself. He said his high sex drive made it hard for him when he was away from home.”
Former Emmerdale star Kelvin met the woman at the start of last year and they soon swapped texts.
He later suggested they meet up in hotel rooms while he was away filming.
The star sent her a graphic photo in one message and a picture of him shirtless in another.
On another occasion, Kelvin texted the woman while alone in a hotel room.
He also suggested meeting up with the woman in London.

Their exchanges continued during his Strictly stint. And in some messages he told her about rehearsals with Oti, and boasted about his dance moves.
Days later on the BBC1 show, judge Craig Revel Horwood told Kelvin: “You’re obviously in touch with yourself! It was full of machismo. It oozed masculinity. It was filth!”
Yesterday Kelvin shared a selfie with actress Eliza on Instagram, captioned: “Happy Valentines.”
Fan favourite Oti was pictured laughing with dancer hubby Marius Lepure in their romantic post.

Kelvin married Eliza in a lavish winter wedding in 2015.
The couple sold the pictures to a glossy magazine — with Kelvin saying he knew he wanted to marry the moment they met.
They had been to school together and shared their first kiss when Eliza was aged just eight.
They started dating properly two years after she graduated.
They have a young daughter and son.
This week pictures were revealed of Kelvin and Oti partying to the early hours in London’s Soho at the start of this month.

Kelvin then rushed from London to his home with Eliza in Oldham, Gtr Manchester, for talks.
Eliza unfollowed both Kelvin and Oti on social media. She was pictured not wearing her wedding ring and told friends she felt like a “fool”.
Kelvin, who found fame as Andy Sugden on Emmerdale from 1996 to 2016, went on to cancel a work commitment with Oti to stay at home with his family.
Insiders told The Sun how the BBC were furious with his decision to cancel a planned stint on their flagship Saturday night show The Greatest Dancer.

But Oti defended him and urged him to stay at home.
The Sun has revealed how Eliza had previously dumped Kelvin because of his partying and refused to watch his sex scenes in Emmerdale because she struggled with jealousy.
But on Wednesday Kelvin insisted he had managed to patch things up with Eliza.
He told The Sun: “Everything is amazing. I am just a little bit bewildered by all the attention. But I am sure it will all blow over.”

Kelvin’s close friendship with Oti had raised eyebrows but the pair insisted they were just pals.
During their time on Strictly, Kelvin boasted about how the pair had tried to use their on-screen chemistry to fool the public into thinking they were falling in love.
He said at the time: “Why else do we watch Strictly? You’ve got these people and they have to look so majestic and beautiful and the story looks like, ‘Oh there’s something going on there’.
“If you’ve not bought into it, there’s something missing.

So I hope people watch me and Oti and see whatever narrative it is — whether that be we’re in love — I want people to believe it.
“If there’s not that feeling, my wife will be first to pull me up, because she wants to believe it too.”
On Thursday Kelvin was pictured on a day out with Eliza driving a new £150,000 Bentley and shared a video of himself out shopping.
He is expected to return to work from next Thursday when he is booked to appear at the Caravan and Camping Show at Birmingham’s NEC.
Last night Oti appeared as a guest on Graham Norton’s BBC1 chat show.
