Stacey Dooley announced to her followers that she was expecting a baby with Kevin Clifton by posting a baby bump photo on social media, but how did she reveal the news to the former Strictly Come Dancing professional?

The couple, who met on the dancing competition in 2018, weren't actually together when she did the pregnancy test, the Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over presenter revealed. Taking to Instagram on New Year's Eve, Stacey opened up about the surprisingly public way she and Kevin both found out they were going to be parents.

"Happppppy new year kidssssss! Wishing you all only great moments ahead. 2022, the year I found out we were [having] a baby," she began, before revealing she found out she was expecting in a public toilet and called Kevin while he was at work to tell him the exciting news. 

"I did a pregnancy test in Selfridges toilet and FaceTimed Kevin in the back of a black cab. This is the moment. (He was filming for a gig and had a radio mic on so it was all v chaotic.) 2023, we [coming]!" Stacey added next to a screenshot of Kevin taking a break from filming to chat to her.

Stacey and Kevin – who was previously married to Karen Hauer – have previously joked they're in no rush to tie the knot, but opened up about their desire to start a family.

During an episode of Stacey Sleeps Over, Stacey confessed: "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."
