Stacey Dooley, 31, has been in a relationship with boyfriend Sam Tucknott, 30, for three years. And the Strictly Come Dancing winner has admitted she gets “annoyed” when her beau doesn’t worry about her travelling to dangerous countries, where she films for her BBC Three documentaries. On tonight’s The Russell Howard Hour, Stacey speaks about her personal life and revealed her boyfriend, Sam, stays at home when she travels. Spilling all about her job, she revealed: "My boyfriend never goes with me, he would be useless.

Are you not scared you’re going to lose the love of your life?’” However, Stacey admitted her boyfriend’s not too bothered as she joked as soon as she arrives back home, she complains about the mess. She said: “He’s like, ‘You’ll be fine, you’ll be back in two weeks moaning about the state of the flat’. "And he’s right, that’s exactly what I do! I say to myself before I put the key in the door, ‘Don’t kick off about the state of the flat because it doesn’t matter’. The investigative journalist went on: “I go in, the first thing I say is, ‘Have you been busy at work? Is that why the dishes are in the sink?’, I’m all passive aggressive!

As well as starring in Strictly Come Dancing for several months, the champion also spent many weeks on the show’s live tour. An insider told The Sun: “She has already blamed the six months she spent on Strictly for putting a massive strain on her love life but now, being away from home has made things even more difficult." The source added Stacey's boyfriend has been "supportive" of her but has missed spending "so much time" with his beau.

He’s not sure how much more distance their relationship can stand.” Meanwhile, Stacey recently opened up on how her boyfriend was during her time competing on the BBC One show. The beauty insisted her personal trainer beau was very supportive of her dancing with Kevin Clifton, 36, on the series. “The truth is Kevin and I are brilliant friends and he’ll be my pal for life,” she told The Times Magazine. “And Sam was probably the most supportive he has ever been. When I first got the gig he was just so made up,” Stacey continued. “He was dancing around our living room. And every week he’d say, ‘Listen to Kevin. Kevin knows best,’” she added. “He was a dream.”All rights reserved for this news site express.co.uk and under his responsibility
