Kevin Clifton and Stacey Dooley have been incredibly private about their relationship since it formed post-last year's Strictly Come Dancing, but now we've been treated to a rare insight.

Despite lots of speculation about their romance, the reigning Strictly champs have remained tight lipped.

In July, Stacey told the Guardian: “Kev and I have agreed not to go into too much detail about our private lives because you can’t really indulge that and then ask for privacy. That’s why we’ve turned down interviews that have offered us tens of thousands of pounds.

"What I am happy to say is Kev’s amazing, I’m happy, life happens, I’ve got an amazing career and I’m very lucky.”

Kevin has refrained from posting any images of himself and Stacey on his Instagram page since March when he wished her a happy birthday.

That is, until now... as Kevin has taken to social media to share a snap of himself and Stacey enjoying a special family outing.

In the image the pair can be seen posing with Kevin's cousin Sophie, who was celebrating playing the lead role in London's Mamma Mia! musical.

"So proud watching my cousin [Sophie] playing the lead in @mammamiamusical West End last night. You’re so talented and we had the best time," Kevin wrote.

Fans took to the comments section to share how happy they are getting a glimpse into Kevin and Stacey's personal lives.

"Nice to see a pic of you and [Stacey] together," one said while another added: "I love this!"

Kevin is, of course, gearing up for this year's series of Strictly. While we wait for it to start, here's everything you need to know.
