Strictly Come Dancing couple Kevin and Karen Clifton open up about their marriage on All Star Mr and Mrs
The professional dancers beat the Strictly curse to get married last year
KEVIN and Karen Clifton have given a hilarious insight into their marriage after being grilled by Philip Schofield on All Star Mr and Mrs.
The Strictly Come Dancing professionals tied the knot in July last year after meeting doing work on a Broadway show - where Kevin was working as a choreographer and Karen was a dancer.
On Wednesday night, the pair put their relationship to the test on the ITV game show All Star Mr and Mrs, revealing the ins-and-outs of their one year marriage.
On meeting Kevin, Karen said: "I remember thinking he was so different and edgy."
However, they avoided dating each other and instead found themselves getting closer as their personal and professional lives began to overlap before Kevin finally admitted his feelings.
Describing his wife as a "nut case", he said: "We have such a good laugh together all the time.
"My life wouldn't be what it is today if it wasn't for Karen. She's perfect. She's always been my best friend."

The romantic Kevin proposed to his now wife on stage following a performance of Burn The Floor on her birthday.
Despite his efforts to do something special, he admits that she always forgets his birthday.
He quipped: "I haven't had a proper birthday since I've been with Karen!"
The duo are now going head-to-head once more as they return to the Strictly ballroom with the new series of the BBC show starting on Saturday.
Last year, Kevin made it to the final with Eastenders actress Kellie Bright, but was beaten at the final hurdle by The Wanted's Jay McGuinness and Aliona Vilani.
Meanwhile, Strictly couple Georgia May Foote and Giovanni Pernice have called time on their relationship after meeting last year.
Actress Georgia, who is currently in a touring production of Breakfast at Tiffany's, announced the split on Instagram and said: “Although it was not an easy decision to make sometimes you realise that it is better to be friends and this is one of those times.
“We both have very busy work schedules for the rest of the year so we are both going to focus on our upcoming work projects and we wish each other well in the future.”
