Ahead of taking to the Brit Awards stage, we take a closer look at Clara Amfo's love life.

The former Strictly star – who was partnered up with professional partner Aljaz Skorjanec in the 2020 series of the ballroom show – has kept her love life away from the public domain, so what do we know about the star's romantic history? 

Read on to find out more about what she's said about relationships and dating…

What has Clara said about who she's dating?

It seems like the 39-year-old doesn't have a special someone in her life at the moment, but it sounds as though she's open to love – if she meets the right person.

"I'm really open about dating because I know so many women in a similar position to me where they're really coming to know what they're worth," she said. 

Who has the star called the "love of her life"? 

In an interview with The Sun in 2019, Clara was asked about the love of her life, and sweetly said her mum Gracie – bless! 

She went on to joke: "She’s a big deal on Instagram with over 10,000 followers. People care about her more than me."

What has Clara said about her "boyfriend" and having children?

When she took over as the host of the mid-morning show, the star told the tabloid that her career was her "boyfriend". 

Asked if she wanted to have children, Clara said: "I don’t know. I don’t have a guy and that’s OK. My career is my boyfriend, I’m happy having fun and being 'Cool Auntie Clara' to my nieces and nephews."

Clara previously described her career as her 'boyfriend' 

She went on: "It’s interesting how people don’t ask male presenters how they cope with childcare."
