The professional dancers shared the good news on Twitter on Monday as they prepared to jet off for their honeymoon, with Kevin, 32, posting: 'Thanks everyone for all the messages. Best day ever for me and @karen_hauer Karen Clifton.'

Kevin - whose divorce was finalised in 2013 - originally auditioned for the show at the same time as Karen in 2012, but only joined the group of dancers for the next series.
He proposed to Karen in April 2013 during the stage show of Burn The Floor and the pair previously joked that they'd like a live Strictly wedding.
Stars at Karen’s Great Gatsby-themed hen party in June included GMB presenter Susanna Reid, who partnered Kevin on the show back in 2013, and fellow Strictly dancer Janette Manrara.
