Strictly Come Dancing's Stacey Dooley announces pregnancy with dancing partner Kevin Clifton

Stacey Dooley has officially announced that she is pregnant with her first child.

The 35-year-old is one of the UK's most loved documentary presenters with one of her series, Stacey Dooley Investigates, being heavily praised for covering a variety of topics from sex trafficking and under age sex slavery, to domestic violence.

In 2018, Stacey was awarded an MBE for her outstanding contribution to broadcasting.

Uploading the news to social media today (August 26) to her one million followers, the journalist said that she was expecting her bundle of joy with BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, 39.

In the caption she wrote: "Gaaaaaaang. We are having a baby! So bloody delighted. Kev, you're magic, I love youuuu. (Was becoming impossible to hide and if one more person asks me if I've had my t*** done in LA I'm gonna scream). Here goessssssss."

Smitten dad-to-be Kevin shared the same photo with his social media fans and tweeted: "We're having a baby. Look how beautiful Stacey looks."

The pair met on Stacey Sleeps Over back in 2018 where they later danced their way to the final and lifted the glitterball trophy.

Although the couple live together, they are not married nor engaged with Stacey admitting she is in no rush to marry and would rather focus on starting family. In an episode of Stacey Dooley Investigates, the broadcaster said: "Kev and I have been together for two years. I don't think I want to get married. I think I'd be more interested in starting a family than getting married."

"I can't think of anything worse than being a Tradwife. I would be useless, completely and utterly useless. He'd divorce me in a heartbeat."
