Stacey Dooley fans spot major clue Strictly star has given birth

There's speculation that Stacey Dooley has given birth to her first child with her partner Kevin Clifton, with some fans suspecting that the couple's baby arrived recently.

The presenter, 35, and the professional dancer, 40 - who were the winners of Strictly Come Dancing together in 2018 - announced the pregnancy back in August last year.

She has since shared updates with fans on social media and teased in a post uploaded last month that she was getting closer to her due date, which hasn't been revealed.

Stacey doesn't seem to have posted on her Instagram page for almost a week though - similar to Kevin - and her lack of activity on the platform has prompted speculation.

The last post on her page - shared six days ago - featured a photo of a home fragrance and some candles on a shelf. Stacey used a snail emoji as the accompanying caption.

Stacey was spotted out with her partner over the weekend. The presenter, apparently still pregnant, and Kevin were out in London on Sunday, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Previous updates from her included teasing that she was going on maternity leave last month. She told her followers: "Penultimate day of work before the baby comes".

And she had revealed earlier that month that she had selected an outfit to wear to hospital for the baby's arrival. It included a trenchcoat, a grey top and grey bottoms.
