Stacey Dooley has given fans a fresh bump update as she shared a new photograph on her Instagram today (December 19). The Strictly Come Dancing star announced that she was expecting her first child with boyfriend and professional dancer Kevin Clifton earlier this year, and her followers have now begun to speculate her due date is looming.
Stacey, 35, and Kevin, 40, were paired together on the 16th series of Strictly back in 2018 and went on to win the glitterball trophy. Months after the series ended the couple confirmed their romance and four years later, in August 2022, the TV presenter revealed that she was pregnant.
Sharing the news of her pregnancy to her one million Instagram followers alongside a polaroid picture, Stacey wrote: "We are having a baby! So bloody delighted. Kev, you're magic, I love you. (Was becoming impossible to hide and if one more person asks me if I've had my t*ts done in LA I'm gonna scream). Here goes."

Kevin responded to his partner with: "Love you". He also posted on his own account - sharing the same picture: "We’re having a baby! And I think my girl @sjdooley looks beautiful pregnant".
Fans and friends were quick to share their joy at the baby news. Graziano di Prima was one of the first to comment: "Whaaaaaaatttt?!!! OMG SO HAPPY FOR YOUUUUU".
Four months after the joyous news was announced, Stacey has now shared a 'glowing' selfie revealing her growing baby bump. The documentary-maker posed in a brown t-shirt and blazer with the bottom of her bump exposed.
Stacey's Instagram followers were quick to compliment the star with others predicting that her due date is nearing.
