She was pictured with her little arm wrapped around doting dad Kevin - a move which prompted an abundance of heartfelt messages in the comments section. Alongside his sweet update, Kevin included the caption: "Taking some rest with daddy" followed by a red heart emoji and a little mouse.

It's been a whirlwind couple of months for Kevin and Stacey who recently celebrated their baby daughter's milestone first birthday. The special occasion was a joyous family affair complete with endless birthday treats.

The cake was surrounded by a plethora of delicious-looking dishes including two raspberry pavlovas, focaccia bread, spaghetti, tomato and mozzarella salad, and cheese-topped aubergine.
Elsewhere, Stacey uploaded an image of their beautiful family home which they aptly transformed ahead of the special occasion. Continuing the pink theme, Stacey and Kevin opted to adorn their living room with baby pink, white and chrome balloons.
Beyond this, Stacey also decorated a string of glasses with rose-hued velvet ribbons for an extra dose of pink glamour.
"Spent the entire weekend celebrating our baby g [pink love heart emoji]. My best best little pal is ONE," Stacey wrote in her caption.
"To all our dearest pals and fam who made such an effort…what can I say? We are v v lucky. So touched. Kev, first year? COMPLETED IT MAAAAATE".
Stacey and Kevin welcomed their bundle of joy into the world back in January last year. Shortly after Stacey gave birth, Kevin took to his Instagram account and posted an adorable photo which revealed the baby's gender and name in one. The snap was of an envelope which read: "Minnie's parents." The professional dancer then followed up with an Instagram Story which said simply: "Our daughter Minnie is here."

During an appearance on The One Show, Stacey told presenters Emma Willis and Jermaine Jenas: "Honestly, it's like I'm the first woman to ever have a child. I'm that dramatic! I'm just completely obsessed. I'm head over heels, she's magic."
She added: "I'm good as gold and she is just a delight. I'm biased, aren't I? But she is just the love of my life and I'm just made up with her."
