This comes only weeks after Stacey and ex Sam Tucknott's split went public

Strictly star Stacey Dooley has been pictured sporting what some believe to be an engagement ring whilst out and about with her former dance partner and current beau, Kevin Clifton.

Only hours later it's emerged that the pair, who won the 2018 series of Strictly Come Dancing, are moving in together as Stacey recently moved out of the flat she shared with her long-term boyfriend, Sam Tucknott.

32-year-old broadcaster and documentary filmmaker Stacey was recently caught in a scandal after ex Sam spoke out calling professional dancer Kevin, 36, a "rat", "snake" and a "full on pr**k" and blaming the Strictly star for breaking up his and Stacey's three-year relationship.

Now a source close to the star has revealed to The Sun: “Stacey needed somewhere else to live. Kevin has been really relaxed about letting her stay and so far it’s working really well.

“Stacey is not sure whether she’ll stay for good but for now it’s a good place for her to set up base.”

And that's not all - fans are convinced they've spotted an engagement ring on Stacey finger after she stepped out for lunch with Kevin on Monday.

The red-haired beauty looked effortless in a black hoody with her hair swept back in a low ponytail, and Kevin head-to-toe in navy.

A simple, thin, gold band was on Stacey's ring finger, which sent the rumour mill into a frenzy, and neither of the two have addressed the rumours as of yet.

The ring was spotted only a day after the pair stepped out for the first time in public together as a couple on Sunday.

It's likely they were enjoying the day together after Stacey returned from Canada and Portugal and Kevin finished his Burn the Floor dance show.
