The 34-year-old TV presenter has been dating Kevin since early 2019, after they were partners on 'Strictly Come Dancing', but she doesn't have any ambition to tie the knot.

She explained: "Kev and I have been together for two years. I don’t think I want to get married. I think I’d be more interested in starting a family than getting married.

"I can’t think of anything worse than being a Tradwife.

"I would be useless, completely and utterly useless. He’d divorce me in a heartbeat.

"Of course, I’m not going to become a Tradwife, I can’t think of anything I would least rather do than obeying a man.

"It makes you more vulnerable."

Stacey loves that she's not reliant on anybody else in her life. However, she appreciates that her outlook might be considered "very selfish" by some people.

Speaking on her W show 'Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over', she said: "I don’t want to find myself totally reliant on a man because that means if I’m not happy and I don’t feel fulfilled and complete, I might have to stick around.

"Whereas the life I’ve chosen, I can do as I please. I appreciate that probably sounds very selfish."

Stacey recently moved into a new property with Kevin - who has been married three times - and she now feels like she's "living the high life".

She said: "I love it. I feel like a proper grown up. I've always had flats. I've always wanted my own front door and I've never had a garden, so now I really do feel like I'm living the high life."

Stacey also appreciates being able to spend quality time with Kevin amid the lockdown.

She said: "I feel so lucky to have him. I'm so mindful that some people have had to do lockdown alone and I can't imagine how lonely that must be."
