Kevin Clifton supports Louise Redknapp at London gig

Their respective partners were reportedly concerned about the close bond they forged on Strictly Come Dancing in 2016.

So of course Kevin Clifton, 35, kept a low-profile when he supported his former partner Louise Redknapp, 43, for her London gig at the Under The Bridge in Fulham on Friday.

In pictures obtained by The Sun, the dancer mingled with the singer’s family while she was performed following reports she hired him to choreograph her career comeback.
