Inside Stacey Dooley’s very chic party for daughter Minnie as she turns one with pink balloons, huge cake and bows
STACEY Dooley threw a pretty pink party for adorable daughter Minnie as she turned one.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star - who met partner and baby-daddy Kevin Clifton, 41, during her stint on the BBC series - delighted fans with a round-up of the little girl's special day.
Proud parents Stacey, 36, and Kevin pulled out all the stops for the milestone event, covering tables with champagne glasses adorned with pink bows .
Plenty of fizz was available to fill them - with a pink-iced three-tiered cake adorned with the words Minnie Is One perfect for a snack.
The couple had decorated the space with dozens of pink, silver and white helium balloons with streamers on the bottom.
As they rose to the ceiling, the streamers hung down on the party-goers below in stunning scenes captured for her Instagram page.

They then enjoyed a sweet moment with their daughter, which saw them standing in front of the cake and the professional dancer cuddling her in his arms.
Perhaps a little overwhelmed with the attention the tot - wearing a white jumper and matching ruffle party skirt - snuggled into his chest.
BBC documentary-maker Stacey beamed with delight as she stood alongside them.
She donned a chic leopard-print suit and tied her hair in a sleek low bun.

Stacey said: “I don’t subscribe to the idea that you offer more stability if you’re married, because we know loads of marriages end in divorce.
“But Kev, I don’t want to sound too gushing or soppy, but I couldn’t have done this without Kev. I couldn’t have done this with anyone else.”
