Stacey Dooley has just given birth to her first child, but it seems the star is already eying up getting back on the road as she confirmed some exciting news.

The star had been due to tour the nation, but she ended up having to postpone the show due to the coronavirus pandemic. But on Friday she confirmed that the show would be getting back on the road, thanking fans for their patience and sharing a poster of the event. In the poster, Stacey looked radiant in a black all-in-one ensemble that she added a slinky necklace to.

Stacey, and partner Kevin Clifton, shared their baby news on Tuesday, with Kevin sharing a photograph of an envelope which read: "Minnie's parents."

On Instagram Stories, Kevin wrote: "Our daughter Minnie is here," and on his main grid post fans were quick to send wishes of congratulations.
