Stacey Dooley hinted at baby plans MONTHS ago with cryptic comment
STACEY Dooley hinted at baby plans MONTHS ago with a cryptic comment.
The 35-year-old TV star revealed that she's pregnant with her first child on Friday afternoon.
But during a segment on her W Show Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over last year, it seems like she insinuated that her and partner Kevin Clifton, 39, were already thinking about it.
When asked if they wanted to get engaged, Stacey said: "Kev and I have been together for two years.
"I don’t think I want to get married. I think I’d be more interested in starting a family than getting married."
The mum-to-be appeared on The One Show to talk about the exciting news on Friday evening.

"I can't believe I am going to be in charge of a little human being!"
