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.
