Stacey Dooley has gushed about her baby Minnie, saying her daughter is the “love of my life.”
The journalist and broadcaster, 36, welcomed her first baby with her former Strictly Come Dancing partner in January.
And appearing on The One Show, Dooley said the two-month-old was “magic” – adding that she is “completely obsessed” with her.
She said: “Honestly, it’s like I’m the first woman to ever have a child. I’m that dramatic! I’m just completely obsessed. I’m head over heels, she’s magic.”
When asked how she was adapting to motherhood, Dooley continued: “I’m good as gold and she is just a delight.

“I’m biased, aren’t I! But she is just the love of my life and I’m just made up with her.”
The star also revealed that Baby Minnie had come with her to the studio on Monday night – and was waiting behind the scenes for her mother.
Clifton and Dooley revealed they had welcomed their baby girl back in January with an Instagram post.
Sharing a photograph of a piece of paper with the words “Minnie’s parents” on, Dooley said: “Our daughter is here. My little masterpiece! I’m completely obsessed.
“Love you Minnie, Love you Kev.”
Meanwhile, Clifton, who shared the same image, wrote: “Our daughter is here. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. So proud of you Stacey. Love u Minnie, Love you Stace.”
The couple met when they were paired together on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2018, which they went on to win.
During their time on Strictly, the pair received high praise for their 1960s-themed foxtrot to Jeff Beck’s Hi Ho Silver Lining, which saw them top the leaderboard and perform again in the final.
Clifton was previously married to fellow Strictly professional Karen Hauer but the pair announced their split in 2018.
Clifton was a well-loved professional dancer on Strictly from 2013 to 2019.
