Stacey Dooley has confessed that her friends have dubbed her Anne of Cleves due to her relationship with Kevin Clifton and his three past marriages.
The documentary maker, 35, who welcomed her first child in January, appeared on Michael McIntyre's Big Show last night, where she revealed her pals' nickname for her- a reference to Henry VIII's fourth wife.
She told Michael the name after handing her phone over to him for the Send to All game, which sees Michael send a text to everyone in her contacts.
As the comedian opened the phone, a photo of Stacey and Strictly pro Kevin, 40, came up, with Michael saying: "Oh it's you with your husband."
Stacey interjected: "Boyfriend! Yeah, he's been married a few times."

Stacey Dooley appeared on Michael McIntyre's Big Show (BBC)Wearing a black strapless gown, Stacey, laughing, said: "You know what's funny, and I shouldn't say this but oh well. He's been married three times before, so my mates call me Anne of Cleves."
Michael replied: "Fourth time lucky", with Stacey telling him: "That's not the phrase."
The host responded: "No, third time lucky- he should go back with her."
Laughing along, Stacey didn't seem to mind Michael's comment, saying: "She's quite nice, yeah."
Kevin's third wife is Strictly pro Karen Hauer, who partnered with comedian Jayde Adams in the most recent series.
Stacey Dooley and Kevin met on Strictly Come Dancing and now have a baby together (BBC)Kevin's first marriage was to amateur Latin world champion Anna Melnikova when he was just 20-years-old. The pair were dance partners from 2002 to 2006 and tied the knot in 2003.
However, Kevin claimed they split after he "fell out of love" with dancing when they were advised to stump up £10,000 to 'guarantee' a world champion title win.
"I just felt somewhere it had all gone wrong. My parents believed we could win without it, but I wanted to walk away from the whole thing," he once said.
Kevin was married to Strictly pro Karen Hauer (ITV)In 2007, Kevin married trained ballet dancer Clare Craze, after they met at a London Salsa bar.
They both starred in dance show Burn The Floor in 2009, where he met Karen , who would go on to become the next Mrs Clifton, and joined Strictly in 2012.

Kevin and Clare split in 2010 and he said in an interview that he got with Karen in 2011.
I was never particularly happy in my previous marriage," he said at the time.
"I wasn't myself - a lot of friends and family were telling me that. It was just a bit of a weird time.
"When I met Karen, I could get on with her on a completely different level."
Kevin then married Karen in 2015 after getting down on one knee to propose on stage during a performance on Burn the Floor. They divorced in 2018.
Stacey and Kevin met when they were paired up on the dancing show back in 2018, which they went on to win, and their romance went public in 2019.
