Strictly Come Dancing winner Stacey Dooley has posted to Instagram in celebration of her last days of work before she leaves to start her maternity leave.

Dooley posted a full-length mirror selfie, showing off her baby bump. The TV presenter is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, former Strictly dancer Kevin Clifton.

In her caption, Dooley wrote: "My penultimate day of work before the baby comes. I haven't got a steriliser yet, but I have got this completely impractical bag for expectant mothers so DON'T WORRY, (I'm gonna be great at this clearly)."

Several celebrity friends left comments on Dooley's post, including Ashley Roberts, Laura Jackson and Strictly host Claudia Winkleman.

Dooley met Clifton when she won Strictly back in 2018. He was her professional dance partner and they soon struck up a relationship off of the dance floor. They announced earlier this year that they were expecting a baby.

Dooley posted to Instagram in August to announce the news. "Gaaaaaaang….. We are having a baby," she excitedly captioned the snap. "So bloody delighted. Kev, you're magic, I love youuuu."

Later, Clifton himself reacted to the news during an appearance on The One Show, telling host Ronan Keating: "I am very excited. I am gonna have to grow up now!"

Although Dooley and Clifton aren't currently engaged, there have been rumours circulating for some time. Dooley addressed these rumours herself earlier this year, while she has also commented before on whether she and Clifton will get married in the future.

"I can't think of anything worse than being a Tradwife. I would be useless, completely and utterly useless. He'd divorce me in a heartbeat," Dooley said.

Strictly Come Dancing's Christmas Special will air on December 25 at 5.10pm. Strictly Come Dancing and Strictly: It Takes Two also stream on BBC iPlayer.
