Stacey Dooley shares first photo of baby Minnie as she heaps praise on Kevin Clifton

Stacey Dooley has shared the first photo of her baby Minnie as she told her partner Kevin Clifton how much she loved him.

The proud parents, who met on Strictly Come Dancing, welcomed Minnie into the world in January.

Stacey, 35, is yet to reveal a picture of the tot's face, but did share a snap of Kevin, 40, cradling the bundle of joy - who has a shock of red hair.

Sporting a cosy cardigan with her name embroidered in pink, Minnie looked the apple of her dad's eye as the dancer looked at his daughter lovingly.

Stacey captioned the snap: "My Valentines. The loves of my life. I dunno what I did to get SO lucky. To the best dad and man in the world ….. happy vally’s darlin. Ps….. you’re on nights when u get home from tour."

Kevin is currently on tour with Strictly and will no doubt be looking forward to seeing his family when he returns.

The dancer was married three times before he met Stacey, who couldn't help but rib her beau about his past when she appeared on Michael McIntyre's Big Show.

The documentary maker confessed her friends have dubbed her Anne of Cleves in reference to Henry VIII's fourth wife.

She told Michael the name after handing her phone over for the Send to All game, which sees the comic text everyone in his guest's contacts.

As he opened the phone, a photo of Stacey and Strictly pro Kevin popped up, with Michael saying: "Oh it's you with your husband."

Stacey interjected: "Boyfriend! Yeah, he's been married a few times."

Wearing a black strapless gown, she said, laughing, said: "You know what's funny, and I shouldn't say this but oh well. He's been married three times before, so my mates call me Anne of Cleves."

Michael replied: "Fourth time lucky", with Stacey telling him: "That's not the phrase."

Stacey and Kevin took their relationship to the next level when they welcomed Minnie in January.
