Strictly Come Dancing professional Karen Clifton appeared to confirm she has moved on from estranged husband Kevin Clifton.

The couple called time on their relationship last year, insisting they are “still best friends” in the wake of their break-up.

The 36-year-old Latin dance specialist couldn’t help but share a snap of herself taking some time out from the Strictly Come Dancing Live! tour alongside opera singer David Webb, with the pair seen in matching pale blue face masks.

Karen captioned the post: "Introducing the new kids on the wrestling block, Nacho Libre and Nacho Cheese.”

Karen previously hinted her romance with Webb was flourishing after revealing she had “love in my life.”

She told Hello!: “Having love in my life is a beautiful thing. There is definitely no ruling that out."

Karen’s new flame comes after she battled through relationship woes, eventually calling time on the three-year marriage to Kevin, last year.

Opening up on moving on and spending Christmas apart, she said: “Last year I was here in New York on my own, as Kevin spent Christmas with his family. Things weren't going that great so it was a bit of giving ourselves space, which we both needed.

“It was the first time I’d come home for Christmas on my own, and I was in a different mind-set. Coming home again is very special, spending time with my family who helped me. I've had a pretty intense year and now I feel like a completely different person.”

The couple married back in 2015 after Kevin proposed during a performance of Burn the Floor.
