Stacey Dooley branded herself "lucky" as she rang in her 38th birthday with her partner, Kevin Clifton, and their two-year-old daughter, Minnie.
"THIRTY ATE," Stacey captioned a post on Instagram. "BLESSED with another year! Lucky, lucky lucky me."

Minnie, who looked adorable in a gingham print dress and white woolen tights, sported a full head of auburn curls as she appeared to twirl around the room in her mum's arms.
Minnie is Stacey's mini-me

"Look at that beautiful hair!" noted one fan on social media, as another wrote: "Loving her beautiful hair colour."

Stacey admits her priorities have changed since having Minnie

Professional dancer, Kevin, who found love with Stacey soon after they lifted the Glitterball on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, was given just two weeks of paternity leave before he had to rush back to the stage - meaning Stacey was left to raise Minnie solo for the majority of the time.

As Minnie grows older, Stacey couldn't be prouder of her daughter and her "confident" personality.
As the mother-of-one juggles motherhood with making documentaries, she admitted: "The priority now is trying to be a really [expletive] good mum," and that "work is important, but it’s work".
