Yesterday Sam - who had been with Stacey for three years and planned to propose - told The Sun that he discovered her secret romance with the 36-year-old dancer when a text reading "I love you" flashed up on her phone.
Explaining that they were clearing out the flat they share in Brighton on April 1, he said: “I was getting my stuff to leave. Stacey was in the loo.
“Her phone went and it was Kevin Clifton — ‘I love you’ with a red love heart.

“I grabbed the phone and confronted her. She said she’d tell me everything I needed to know.
“The blame is with Kevin. He’s an absolute rat."
He added that later on she texted him to apologise - and deny that she had cheated on him.
In a message seen by the paper, she explains: “[But] you saw I didn’t start entertaining and texting him (Kevin) until I split up with you.
"I was not with you when we started it all.
“I did fall for him but when we were done. I will tell you anything you want to know.”
