Kevin Clifton has revealed a remarkable development in his 18-week-old daughter Minnie… and our hearts are turning to mush.
Stacey Dooley, 36, and former Strictly Come Dancing veteran Kevin, 40, had their first child together in January this year, four years after they began dating.
They won the prized Glitterball Trophy on Strictly the year before.
Kevin appeared in the ITV studio with co-hosts Richard Madeley, 67, and Susanna Reid, 52, on Monday’s Good Morning Britain.
They began their discussion by discussing his family life, with the musician calling his youngster “amazing.”
‘I’ve just left her this morning. She’s just at that stage where she’s starting to laugh now, doing anything. Even sort of wobbling your head and going, “Hiya!”’
Richard looked surprised at how old she was after Kevin confirmed her age.
‘Oh my goodness! That is advanced,’ he remarked.
‘You can see them downloading, can’t you? You can see them really getting switched on.’
Susanna, who was partnered with Kevin on Strictly in 2013, couldn’t help but smile when she saw the photographs of Minnie and her parents on TV.
Kevin went on to say that Stacey was ‘wonderful,’ revealing that he’d just returned from a tour in Aberdeen.
‘Come back just for the day for Sunday, and spent the day with them, and I’m absolutely exhausted from it. But Stacey just carries on,’ he said.
‘I don’t know how she does it. It must be this motherly thing that kicks in, I dunno. I don’t know how she does it. She’s an amazing mum.’
When Stacey announced her pregnancy, she also shared the wonderful name she and Kevin had picked for their baby, calling the child as her “masterpiece.”
‘I’m COMPLETELY OBSESSED,’ she wrote, before adding: ‘Love you Minnie, Love you Kev x.’
The journalist returned to work barely a month after giving birth, shortly after uploading a lovely Valentine’s Day video of Minnie and Kevin.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.
