I know we ’ re not falling into each other ’ s arms but I don ’ t know why .
Why are we not having a nice Christmas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something was up and I didn ’ t know what it was .
I thought maybe she was tired , but she had just won Strictly – she should have been buzzing . ''

When I first got the gig he was just so made up .
`` He was dancing around our living room .

Kevin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ He was a dream.
” A shocking revelation came to light when the pair met to discuss the end of their five-year relationship in their Brighton home .
Lifting the lid on Stacey and Kevin 's undercover romance , Sam claims to have rumbled what was going on between the pair when he found incriminating text messages on his girlfriend 's phone .
While Stacey was in the toilet as they were clearing their things from the flat , a message flashed up on her phone from Kevin which read `` I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heart .
The couple rowed and left separately , then Sam claimed Stacey text him later the day to explain she had fallen for Kevin .

Stacey has insisted that nothing happened with Kevin during the show and she is not a victim of the infamous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her professional partner .
The documentary maker said she resisted falling for Kevin while they were paired together on Strictly because she thought it would be `` cheesy '' .

But having been "gutted and disappointed" by the split, he claimed the reveal was actually a "blessing" because he had been left in the dark for months.
Blaming Kevin for the collapse of his relationship with Stacey, Sam angrily confronted his ex's new man on FaceTime.
He went white. I just stuck it on him: ‘You’re an absolute rat, how you conducted yourself. Just a slippery, slimy snake.’," explained Sam to The Sun.
"He didn’t say a word, he looked petrified, so shocked."
He added: "He’s an absolute complete f***ing rat with no b******s or decency to hear me out. The fact he won’t have a man-to-man conversation with me says everything about the guy."

Stacey has insisted that nothing happened with Kevin during the show and she is not a victim of the infamous 'Strictly Curse' despite her romance with her professional partner.
The documentary maker said she resisted falling for Kevin while they were paired together on Strictly because she thought it would be "cheesy".
She claimed they didn't get romantic until after the show finished, and that therefore she didn't fall victim to the curse.
Many couples have fallen for each other while dancing together on the BBC One show, with some even leaving their existing partners to be with their new love interest.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5's Headliners podcast in March this year, she said: "I didn't want to be such a cliche - it's so cringe and cheesy. I want to be cooler than this. Kev and I were pals for such a long time.
"I liked hanging out with him. So it was much later down the line for us."

Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial ripped through the Crystal Palace defence to give Manchester United a vital victory at Selhurst Park on Thursday night.
The Red Devils responded well to the pressure of Champions League insecurity after top-four rivals Leicester outplayed Sheffield United earlier in the evening and briefly went three points ahead.
Their hosts had a valid claim for a penalty towards the end of the first half when Victor Lindelof appeared to trip up their former player Wilfried Zaha.
But Rashford – fresh from the news that he is to receive an honorary doctorate by the University of Manchester – supplied a first-class finish moments later.
VAR went the wrong way for Palace a second time after one of several encouraging passages of play when Jordan Ayew had a goal ruled out for offside.
Frenchman Martial put United out of their misery by firing home after some neatly build-up from Man of the Match Bruno Fernandes and Rashford.
The win for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side means they stay level with Leicester, whom they play on the final day of the season, with Chelsea a point above them.
Here's how we covered the match live...

Foisting 800 clapped-out, unelected politicians on blameless citizens is an insult to the city’s most famous son, Guy Fawkes.

The bad behaviour led to tough consequences swiftly, with bars and restaurants along the raucous Magaluf party strip shut down until September 15.

Regional health minister Patricia Gomez said of the three street closures: “You have to look at the evidence. Where are the Covid-19 outbreaks?

She added in an interview with local media: “We can’t put a police officer on each tourist to avoid that happening and believe me, in areas like the streets we have closed, it’s very easy for 20 to 30 people to group together in a second, do something stupid and post it on social media.

Boris Johnson's updated road map for re-opening Britain is set to include new 'lightning lockdown' powers for councils which will help them in shutting down pubs and gatherings
Lightning lockdowns: Councils set for new shut down powers in event of outbreaks
Councils are to be given new powers so they can impose shut downs quicker in the event of coronavirus outbreaks, according to reports.
The "lightning lockdowns" plan will reportedly allow local authorities to shut pubs and cafés without having to first get the green-light from the Government.
It could also mean bans on weddings and other large gatherings at short notice.
A Government health source told The Sun: "Councils will be able to impose lighting lockdowns where they see fit."
Boris Johnson is set update his road map to help Britain bounce back from the pandemic at a Downing Street press conference on Friday.

As well as the powers for councils, the PM is set commit to a new target of reaching the capacity for 500,000 coronavirus tests a day by November.
The NHS will be granted an extra £3 billion in funding to prepare for a second wave.
In the wake of a dire warning of the consequences of Covid-19 rebounding, No10 said the funding will allow extra hospital capacity while allowing routine treatments and procedures to continue.

The funding for the NHS in England will allow private hospital capacity to be used and for Nightingale hospitals to be maintained until the end of March.
It comes after a report commissioned by the Government's chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance, warned there could be 120,000 hospital deaths in a "reasonable worst-case scenario".
Winter always places a great strain on the health service, but there are concerns a resurgence of the virus during the annual flu season could be crippling.

A Government spokesperson said the NHS must be "battle ready for winter".
"Tomorrow, he will set out a broad package of measures to protect against both a possible second wave, and to ease winter pressures and keep the public safe."
The spokesman said the immediate funding for England was new and not previously allocated, while expenditure will be set out for the devolved nations in due course.
NHS Providers, which represents NHS organisations, deputy chief executive Saffron Cordery has called for "urgent clarity" over what the funding will cover.
She said funding is already in place for the Nightingale hospitals and private beds, while social care is in a "critical condition" but the Government is yet to afford it any extra money.
The British Medical Association also called for details on how the money will be used.
Earlier this week Mr Johnson was warned in the report by the Academy of Medical Sciences that action must be taken now to mitigate the potential for a second peak, including scaling up the Test and Trace system.

The research said capacity for 350,000 tests per day will be needed to test individuals as they show symptoms of either Covid-19 or flu.
The latest Government figures say capacity stood at nearly 338,000, but Mr Johnson will commit to increase this to half a million by the end of October to bolster Test and Trace.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has already announced plans for the "biggest flu vaccination programme in history", with eligibility for free injections likely to be extended.
Non-urgent operations were suspended to free up hospital beds as the UK was plunged into a lockdown during the first wave.
But Downing Street says the new plans to be announced by the PM will allow them to go ahead where possible as ministers target efforts on local lockdowns.
Mr Hancock announced a partial easing of the prolonged lockdown measures in Leicester, but said Covid-19 rates in the city remained too high to allow pubs and restaurants to reopen.
It is not yet clear what the PM's update to the "road map" will be, but he is eager to get employees back to their workplaces if they are safe.
The official Government advice is still "work from home if you can", but Mr Johnson has said people should be talking to their bosses about "looking to come back to work in a safe way".
