Strictly Come Dancing couple Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton have moved into their first home together as they took their romance to the next level.
The broadcast journalist, 32, proudly showed off their lovenest in a stream of flowing Instagrams on Monday which captured the main features of the property: a gigantic mattress, endless floral arrangements and chic artwork.
As she packed up her things from the Brighton flat she shared with her ex Sam Tucknott, Stacey made Kevin’s flat her own by filling his home with an abundance of fresh flower displays.

Blooming roses were arranged in a vase beside the massive mattress in the middle of the otherwise empty master bedroom.
The documentary filmmaker joked the room was empty because the couple had watched notoriously tidy expert Marie Kondo once.
She typed in the caption of the picture: ‘Watches Marie Kondo once… I mean, aside from this room. Clearly finished…’
Stacey brought her green thumb into the modern kitchen space where she displayed peonies in pink and white mixed in with wild foliage in a transparent vase on the spacious island top counter.

Also on the kitchen side, Stacey and Kevin placed a mimosa scented candle as well as a Mac book and a pot of silver cutlery.
In another snap, two modern paintings of faces were rested against one of the white walls alongside yet another floral arrangement.
Stacey laid out her plans to transform Kevin’s home over the next month and she vowed to share her changes with her loyal admirers on social media.

She said in the caption: ‘I’m gonna sort the flat out this month. I’m gonna show you before and after, because I’m sure this is as interesting for you as it is for me.’
Stacey made her mark on Kevin’s home, and his heart, after rumours the lovebirds had got engaged were swirling on the showbiz circuit.
The presenter was delighted to move in with her new love after she left the Brighton home she shared with her ex Sam following their split in March.
A source told 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.’

Kevin and Stacey’s relationship has been marred with controversy as she was in a five-year romance with personal trainer Sam, 30, when she joined the show.
It was reported Sam confronted Kevin about his relationship with Stacey in a furious FaceTime call following the demise of their relationship in March.
Sam claimed he called Kevin a ‘snake’ and a ‘rat’ when he discovered flirty text messages sent to his ex after they separated.
Sam told the Mail On Sunday in April: ‘He went white. I just stuck it on him, “You’re an absolute rat. How you conducted yourself. Just a slippery, slimy snake.” He didn’t say a word. He looked petrified. He looked so shocked.

‘I am so respectful of [Stacey], but I am gutted and I am disappointed and I feel so let down that she did not have the respect for me to tell me and just come clean.’
The fitness enthusiast said all was well in their relationship until mid-November; the same time Stacey and Kevin were performing in the BBC competition series and he noticed flirty text exchanges.
But by the end of March, the couple had made arrangements to separate and for the TV presenter to move out of their Brighton home.
