Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton spark ENGAGEMENT rumours as she flashes gold ring on her finger

They reportedly set up home together, just weeks after confirming their romance.

But it appears as though Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton may have taken their romance to the next level as they sparked engagement rumours during an outing in London’s Notting Hill on Sunday.

Journalist Stacey, 32, was pictured wearing a gold ring on her wedding figure as she enjoyed a romantic day out with her Strictly Come Dancing star beau, 36.

The pair were joined by pals as they strolled down Portabello Road, and love was certainly in the air as they could barely keep their hands off each other. 

Putting on a very loved-up display, the dancing duo were spotted cuddling and holding hands as they walked down the street after enjoying dinner at Pizza East.

At one point, Stacey even leaned her head against Kevin’s shoulder as she affectionately stroked him on the chest.

As the group stopped off for some doughnuts, Stacey was seen to be wearing a gold band on her finger, which was almost hidden by her baggy jumper.

She appeared to wear very little make-up for the occasion, while her flame tresses hung loosely on her shoulders. 

Meanwhile, professional dancer Kevin also donned a casual ensemble, wearing a pale grey T-shirt, a navy blue jacket and jogging bottoms as well as white trainers. 

MailOnline have contacted representatives of Stacey and Kevin for comment.  

The engagement rumours come after claims that Stacey has moved in with Kevin after leaving the Brighton home she shared with ex Sam Tucknott 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.’

The insider added: ‘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.

When the pair split in March, it was reported that he confronted Kevin about his relationship with Stacey in a furious FaceTime call.

He claims 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 – when Stacey and Kevin were performing in the BBC competition series – and he noticed flirty text messages from the dancer.

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.
