There's always drama on the Strictly Come Dancing dance floor but it's not just the celebrity finalists we'll be watching for this weekend.

Professionals and Strictly stalwarts Kevin and Karen Clifton have been under the spotlight amid rumours that their two year marriage is on the rocks.

There was speculation about a rift which Kevin seemed to confirm when he publicly apologised to his wife live on Strictly as he and partner Susan Calman were voted off.

Then adding more fuel to the rumours, Karen was spotted on more than one occasion with an accountant called Stuart Wood, who it's said she was dating.

But today as he headed to rehearsals for the Strictly Come Dancing final Kevin was still wearing his wedding ring which gives us all hope that these two are still together.

Their dancing colleague Katya Jones and her husband Neil also seemed to rubbish the reports of serious problems in the Clifton marriage. Speaking to the Daily Star Neil said: "I’ve been so shocked by what I’ve seen. Whenever I see Kevin and Karen at the studio they are always together. And they always look loved-up when I’m around."

Katya added: "I saw the story and was like “where did that come from?” It would be a shock for me if it’s all true. I just can’t see where it’s come from."
