Inside Stacey Dooley's birthday with Strictly pal and rare smouldering shot with Kevin

Stacey Dooley looked the picture of happiness as she celebrated her birthday with her Strictly Come Dancing pal and boyfriend Kevin Clifton.

The BBC presenter, 35, shared a number of stylish snaps of her big day on Instagram in which she showed off her stunning home.

Looking beautiful wearing an elegant black dress with matching nails, Stacey shared a pic of her with her hand on dancer Kevin's chest as he looked longingly into the journalist's eyes.

In another shot the star showed off her elegant dining table, which was adorned by candles, flowers and none other than her Strictly pal Graziano di Prima, 27.

Telling fans she had "so much to be grateful for", Stacey's post was met with flurry of support from her showbiz friends.

Ex-EastEnders actress Emma Barton replied: "Beauty", while presenter AJ Odudu also wished her pal Happy Birthday.

In what looked like a fab night, Stacey shared a video of her dancing along with other snaps of her posing with her friends in her gorgeous home.

Stacey and Kevin, 39, moved in together after falling for each other after they won Strictly Come Dancing in 2018.

After she waltzed off with the Strictly Glitterball trophy in 2018, Stacey split from ­her boyfriend of five years, Sam Tucknott.

In the same year Kevin divorced fellow Strictly professional ­dancer Karen Hauer.

Stacey and her beau recently sparked engagement rumours with a sweet photo taken during a trip to Sweden.

In it the presenter looks quizzically at the camera with her finger on her lips as she sports a gold ring on her pinky.

Fans immediately thought something had happened with one asking: "What are you two keeping a secret???" followed by heart emojis.

While fan probed: "Engaged???" with several other followers asking the same question.

Since making her name as journalist on BBC Three, Stacey has enjoyed a highly successful presenting career.

Her most recent gig has been hosting a new series called Inside the Convent as she said she wanted to find out what is was like to slow down and connect to a more meaningful way of being.

Stacey told The Mirror: “I had wanted to film in a convent for a while, so was delighted when the Sisters at St Hilda’s invited us into their home, allowing us to truly witness and experience, first hand, their way of life."

The Luton-born star added that she “thoroughly enjoyed” doing the show, which debuted on BBC1 on March 9.
