In March, Stacey celebrated her 36th birthday surrounded by her loved ones. The former Glow Up presenter enjoyed some adorable birthday cuddles with her tiny tot, melting hearts everywhere. "The best is yet to come. Thank you [every] single person that wished me a happy birthday," she noted in her caption, before paying tribute to her daughter by adding: "Kev, thank you for the greatest gift of all".
Work buddies
Documentary maker Stacey took her newborn under her wing earlier this year as she continued working on her eye-opening series called Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over. In a sweet image shared to Instagram, the doting mother beamed from ear to ear as she held a camera in one hand whilst balancing little Minnie on her hip. Musing on their unbreakable bond, Stacey noted in her caption: "Never not togeths".
