Stacey Dooley has shared a plea to fans days after announcing the arrival of her first child. The documentary maker was flooded with congratulatory messages after she revealed she had given birth to a baby girl.
She and her boyfriend, former Strictly Come Dancing star Kevin Clifton, announced in August they were expecting a child together, three years after the pair were partnered together on the hit BBC One show.
Stacey went on to win the 16th series of the dance contest and also fell in love with her pro partner - with the pair confirming their romance months after the show ended - and now they're an adorable family of three.

She then added: "I'm COMPLETELY OBSESSED. Love you Minnie, Love you Kev." Kevin also echoed his partner's post, writing alongside the same image: "Our daughter is here," alongside a string of read heart emojis. "The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
