Yahoo News Stacey Dooley's new Strictly partner just gave her the cutest present
While we loved Stacey Dooley paired with Kevin Clifton, we're still equally as excited to see her dance with Aljaz Skorjanec for the upcoming Strictly Come Dancing tour.
Despite not dancing together on the live shows last year, the twosome appear to be getting along incredibly well, with Aljaz even giving Stacey an adorable present ahead of their intense rehearsals.
Posting on her Instagram page this week, Stacey shared a clip of her new partner holding a pair of heeled black dance shoes – a gift from him to his new celebrity dance partner.
She can be jokingly heard saying in the background: "Look what my angel, queen Aljaz just bought me," while the Slovenian dancer lovingly describes the shoes as the journalist laughs.
Showing how well they get on, another Instagram Story showed Stacey joking about the height difference between the pair (she is 5'1" and he is 6').
"We are having a lovely time. 5, 6, 7, 8, where is Aljaz?" she joked. "Got to find Aljaz," she exclaimed, with Aljaz replying: "I'm just here."
The couple were paired together after Stacey's partner Kevin Clifton was unable to do the Strictly tour due to theatre commitments.
Speaking about her new co-star, Stacey told Hello! how happy she was with Kevin's replacement, admitting: "We've never danced before but we had a great time and Aljaz is a dream.
This way to the DAMN TOUR HUNNNNNNNI 💪🏽💪🏽 @aljazskorjanec ✨

"He is very similar to Kevin in terms of his temperament – he's chilled and just wants to enjoy it with no pressure. I can't wait to get going."
Also addressing the new partnership, Kevin previously revealed that he and Aljaz were similar in many ways, saying: "I think Aljaz is probably quite similar to me in terms of what I'm like to work with. Neither of us are strict, we both prefer to have fun and encourage as opposed to being disciplinarian."
We can't wait to see how the new partnership pans out!
