The couple have posted a united photo together amid rumours of the 'Strictly curse'
Stacey Dooley is absolutely SMASHING it on this year's Strictly Come Dancing, and it looks like she just might make it through to next week's final.
Throughout the series, she's made a close bond with professional dance partner Kevin Clifton, who split from fellow Strictly star Karen Clifton earlier in the year.
Stacey and Kevin were delighted when they were first paired with each other and the strong chemistry they have when dancing is undeniable, which is perhaps why Stacey's boyfriend - Sam Tucknott - is reportedly 'paranoid' about the relationship they've built over the weeks.
According to The Sun, a source has revealed: "Sam has also been quite vocal about her dancing with a single man and was really paranoid that they were going to split because of the show.
“She says he has become insanely jealous even though she insisted there was nothing for him to worry about."
Sam is believed to have dated Stacey for several years. Although they keep their relationship quite private, Sam has been spotted in the Strictly audience to support his girlfriend.
But the source added: "He caused some scenes at the studio. He was not suitably dressed to go in the audience, one week he turned up in an expensive tracksuit, and it was only because Stacey put her foot down that he was allowed into the studio audience where they usually have to be suited and booted."

THE STRICTLY CURSE...
This year's most SCANDALOUS Strictly story so far has to be That Kiss between Katya Jones and Seann Walsh. The pair continued to dance in the competition but were voted out a few weeks later. Seann won't be taking part in the Strictly tour next year, which some have suggested means he's well and truly axed from the show. A source told the Mail Online that the Strictly tour is a "really wholesome" and "family-fun" event, adding: "It's all about good, clean fun and we don't think a man who snogs married women in the street fits that image."
