"We wanna see the baby bump," noted a third, and a fourth added: "This looks heavenly guys!"

Stacey and Kevin will be celebrating their final Christmas together as a couple as they prepare to welcome their first child. The loved-up duo first crossed paths on the set of Strictly Come Dancing back in 2018 after they were partnered up on the competition.

The couple confirmed their romance in 2019, just a few months after lifting the glitterball trophy. While it's clear that Stacey and Kevin are completely smitten, fans shouldn't expect to hear wedding bells in the near future.

The couple shared news of their pregnancy on Instagram

During an episode of Stacey Sleeps Over, the journalist candidly revealed: "I don't think I want to get married. I think I'd be more interested in starting a family than getting married."

She added: "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."
