The professional dancer is thought to be swapping the dancefloor for the stage and it makes sense after he recently finished up a run of playing the lead role in The Wedding Singer at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre and is set to embark on a tour of Burn The Floor with his sister and fellow former Strictly pro Joanne Clifton.‘Bosses were shocked that somebody who has benefited so much from the show wants to walk away.
He wrote: ‘The past 7 years have been some of the most wonderful years of my life. I am grateful to the BBC and Strictly Come Dancing for giving me the opportunity to have been a part of something truly special.‘Since first being called Kevin From Grimsby by Sirin 2013 I have experienced the highs of 5 finals, winning a Guinness World record on It Takes Two, the Strictly Arena tour glitterball and then the ultimate of winning the 2018 series with Stacey Dooley.
‘After finishing last series with the Children In Need trophy and the Christmas Special I want to leave on a high and have therefore decided the time has come to move on and focus on other areas of my life and career.’The 37-year-old continued: ‘I want to thank all of the pros for inspiring me every day as well as all of my celebrity partners. The whole team behind the scenes have made always made the Strictly family what it is and the loveliest show to work for.
‘Pre 2013 I used to watch every week. Now I look forward to returning to being a fan and cheering on my friends who keep dancing.’He was partnered with Susanna Reid, coming second in the competition, and went on to be a runner-up with Frankie Bridge, Kellie Bright and Louise Redknapp.However, the following year, he won the Glitterball trophy with Stacey Dooley – who he went on to date in 2019.: ‘Kevin has been such a brilliant part of Strictly for the past seven years.
