Kevin Clifton is strictly "abandoned by the agent on the Stacey Dooley case"

According to reports, his professional agent, Kevin Clifton, was dismissed by his agent because of his relationship with Stacey Dooley.

Kevin shared an agent with his former Strictly Celebrity dance partner, Louise Redknapp, and it was reported that Wayne Russell removed him from his list.

The Instruction Management employee reportedly dropped Kevin because his affair with Stacey Dooley "damaged his reputation," reports The Sun.

The 36-year-old professional dancer will return to the BBC's dance show this year, but it has been alleged that Kevin would only be badociated with a celebrity because he had won the Glitterball Trophy last year with Stacey.

Louise, 44, was apparently furious with Kevin after he "dropped it like a stone" when his relationship with Stacey, 32, was revealed.

A strict insider told the Sun that Instructional Management was struggling to represent Kevin and Louise because of "the scramble between them".

The agents were apparently "stunned" by Kevin's relationship with Stacey, who did not tell them anything.

Stacey had a long-term relationship with Sam Tucknott, 30, at the time he was working for Strictly, but would have given up on Kevin.

The insider added that the agents "believe that the news has seriously damaged his reputation with the public".

It's allegedly that they told Kevin "that they no longer wanted to work with him after their current projects," and that it "also makes things a lot easier as they can focus on the representation of Louise ".
