Kevin Clifton is clearly still on cloud nine after welcoming his first child with his girlfriend Stacey Dooley.

The happy couple announced their daughter's birth last week by sharing a photo of a white envelope with the words "Minnie's parents" written across it, and a week later, the professional dancer is still punching the air.

Taking to Twitter on Sunday, six days after their initial announcement, Kevin shared one simple message with his fans which read "Minnie" followed by a red heart.

Kevin and Stacey met on Strictly Come Dancing and have been together ever since

The presenter and documentary maker re-posted an image of award-winning actress Jennifer Coolidge in a range of her iconic roles, several of which showed her looking upset, confused or stressed.
