The TV star opened up on her W Channel show Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over as she talked to some tradwives, who are women who prefer to take traditional roles in a marriage.

“Kev and I have been together for two years,” said the 34-year-old. “I don’t think I want to get married."

"I think I’d be more interested in starting a family than getting married," she went on.

Dooley said she didn’t fancy being a tradwife, adding: “I would be useless, completely and utterly useless.

“He’d divorce me in a heartbeat.”

Dooley and dancer Clifton met when they were paired up on the BBC ballroom show in 2018 and they went on to lift the coveted Glitterball trophy together.
