The couple, who embarked on a romance in April, spent some of Christmas with Kevin’s sister Joanne.

In an Instagram snap dancer Joanne, 36, on Thursday the presenter flashed a peace sign as she relaxed on the floor while her beau grinned from a nearby sofa.

Stacey looked relaxed as she sat beside Joanne wearing cream trousers with a pale green t-shirt tucked in.

The former Strictly winner wore her sleek tresses down and accessorised with a watch and gold necklace.

Joanne also cut a casual figure as the trio celebrated Christmas in a large living room with a huge tree in the window, and donned a black t-shirt and jeans.

The dancer, who won Strictly herself in 2016 with Ore Oduba, wore her blonde locks down and perfectly styled straight.

Kevin could not contain his delight as he kicked back on his sofa in a long sleeved t-shirt and black jeans.

Joanne captioned her snap ‘we had a gudden’ [sic] and Stacey quickly commented with a love heart.

Although having met on Strictly more than a year ago, the couple rarely share loved-up pictures together on social media.

In October, the documentary maker gave her fans a glimpse into a glitzy party she threw for Kevin in celebration of his 37th birthday. 

She pulled out all the stops for his milestone and appeared enamoured as she cosied up to the dancer in front of gold balloons which read ‘King Kev’.

The two Christmas images comes after Kevin was crowned the winner of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special where eh danced with Debbie McGee.

The festive champions wowed the judges and the studio audience with their quickstep to Jingle Bells by Michael Bublé, scoring a perfect 40.

Stacey and Kevin first embarked on a romance in April, and are said to have moved in with each other a month later.
