“Tonight it’s the last episode of Grand Week by the Sea! I’m in Blackpool, reunited with my Strictly dance boyfriend @keviclifton and I also reveal my drag alter ego,” she wrote.

“We filmed 5 episodes of this series in two weeks, and it only happened because of the hard work of the wonderful team I have the pleasure of filming with. They are the best of the best and it’s a joy to spend time with them.”

Kevin explained on GMB that they joked if they had any success on the show, they would get matching tattoos to celebrate.

He said: “When I was dancing with Susan Calman in 2017, she joked that if we made it as far as Blackpool, because we were always the favourites to go out right from week one, if we made it to Blackpool she’d get ‘I love Grimsby’ tattooed on her foot.

“So I jokingly said that I’d get ‘I love Glasgow’, because that’s where she’s from.

“And then it happened, and then she got her tattoo so then I was locked in. I had to do it.”

It seems the pair still have the tattoos now!

As well as appearing with Susan in a Grand Week by the Sea, the pair are also keen to collaborate on more projects.

Kevin said: “Me and Susan are looking to be writing a TV drama actually, based on the ballroom competition world.

“We have this idea for a script that we want to make into a TV drama. She’s wicked. I just get on with her so well.”
