KEVIN CLIFTON, who is a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing 2018, has joked he is taking dating tips from Joe Sugg, following his split from Karen Clifton earlier this year.
Strictly: Joe and Kevin discuss the best places for a first date
Strictly Come Dancing star Joe Sugg, 27, discussed the best venues for a first date when Kevin, 36, joked he was noting the tips down. Speaking on BBC’s Strictly Confidential podcast, Joe said: “I don’t think a cinema is a good place for a first date. “You can’t talk to them, you’ve got to get to know them.” The interviewer added: “Horror films are the best, if they get scared you can put your arm around them.”
I’m taking notes here.
Kevin, who dances with Stacey Dooley on the show, responded: “What if I get scared?”
The interviewer then asked Joe where he thinks a first date should be.
Joe replied: “Weather dependent, a picnic in the park or on one of those little rowing boats you can get, but that might be a bit too full on.”
Kevin then joked: “I’m taking notes here.”
“Yes write that down!” Joe replied.
Kevin was then asked where he thinks a first date should take place.
He replied: “Well, if it was down to me I’m going to take them dancing aren’t I? I haven’t got a degree in anything else as we’ve established.
“I’d take them dancing and say ‘As it so happens, I can do a bit of this’.”
But Joe suggested the professional dancer should keep his talents under wraps on a first date and then surprise them with his moves.
Kevin is believed to be single following his split from his wife and fellow Strictly pro Karen Clifton, 36, earlier this year.
During an interview on Chris Evans’ radio show, Kevin said: "Privately we are not together anymore but professionally we are stronger than ever before.
“Dance is how we came together and is what glues us together.

“We're still the best of friends – we still have a lot of love and respect for each other.
“What we've found it that since we've been honest with each other it's unlocked our creativity."
Karen added: "We have such strong chemistry and it's about entreating and inspiring.
“At the end of the day, it's about giving back to fans. We're feeling very positive."
Strictly Come Dancing continues tonight at 6:35pm on BBC One.
