Stacey Dooley’s boyfriend Kevin Clifton jokes she looks like Adam Sandler

She is known for her laid back sense of style.  

But Stacey Dooley was teased by boyfriend Kevin Clifton on Wednesday as they headed out on a walk. 

The Strictly star, 33, shared a snap of her in a long oversized leather jacket and said Kevin, 37, kept on calling her Adam Sandler, after she took style inspiration from his iconic character Howard Ratner, in Uncut Gems.

Stacey teamed the statement jacket with green joggers, black Nike trainers and a baseball cap. 

Donning a pair of cat eye shades, the television presenter smiled for the camera with a cup of coffee in hand.  

Stacey wrote: ‘Kev keeps calling me @adamsandler…and I don’t hate it’.

Fans were quick to comment on the post, telling her: ‘His look in uncut gems is a great look’, while another typed: ‘Style icon’.

Sandler best known for his comedies, but the funnyman takes quite a dark turn in the Netflix film Uncut Gems. 

The story centers on Sandler’s character, a jewelry store owner who tries to get his gambling addiction under control while juggling two separate relationships and trying to get out of mounting debt. 

Earlier this month, Stacey shared a rare loved-up snap with Kevin as they self-isolate together.

Stacey looked effortlessly chic in a black satin midi dress which she teamed with a chunky gold necklace, while Kevin unveiled a new beard, which he has no doubt been growing during lockdown. 

It comes after Kevin claimed he was so desperate to be paired with eventual champion Stacey, he called in a favour with one of the choreographers.  

The dancer made the surprise admission on his new podcast, revealing that he wanted to dance with the broadcaster after becoming a fan of her documentaries.

Stacey and Kevin went onto be crowned Strictly champions in 2018 and have now been dating since April 2019.

Speaking on the latest episode of The Kevin Clifton Show podcast, Kevin admitted he called in a favour with Strictly choreographer Jason Gilkison, who he worked with on the Burn The Floor tour.

He said: ‘I was a fan of your documentaries and for the last couple of years I’d tweeted you a few times, going ‘I really liked your documentary’, and you were like, ”Oh cheers Kev!”

‘So yeah, I was like ”Stacey Dooley’s wicked. She’ll be really interesting… great just to talk to about her experiences.”

‘Once I heard you were doing it, I said to Jason, ”Remember that time when I had broken shins and it was the difference between Burn The Floor going bust or going to Broadway?”

‘You (Jason) were like ”I need you to give a big performance tonight” and I was, ”Yes I’ll do it. I’ll take lots of ibuprofen and go on stage”.

Jason then went onto work on Strictly, and when he and Kevin were reunited the dancer asked him to try and ‘push’ for Stacey to be partnered with him.

Kevin added: ‘Jason was like ”What do you want?” and I said, ”Well I’ve heard Stacey Dooley may be doing Strictly. If there’s any chance you could push for her to be my partner…”’ 

‘It’s something I don’t normally do.’ 

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Strictly Come Dancing for comment.
