Lovebirds Kevin Clifton and Stacey Dooley have been on cloud nine since welcoming baby Minnie. And much to the delight of fans, the Strictly professional shared a heart-melting update on Monday.
Appearing on ITV's Good Morning Britain, Kevin, 40, was quick to heap praise on his "amazing" partner and new baby. On the subject of baby Minnie, the star gushed: "She's amazing. I just left her this morning."
Elsewhere in the interview, Kevin shared a glimpse inside Minnie's development. Touching on her major milestones, the doting dad revealed: "She's just at that stage where she's starting to laugh now, doing anything, even just sort of wobbling your head and going 'hiya' and she starts to giggle."
Loved-up couple Kevin and Stacey welcomed their bundle of joy back in January. Despite their respective work commitments, the duo have been relishing spending time with their firstborn.
Kevin, who is currently starring in Strictly Ballroom, commended his partner, saying: "She's amazing. I've been on tour in Aberdeen last week and came back just for the day for Sunday and I spent the day with them and I'm absolutely exhausted from it.
