‘Determined’ Stacey Dooley’s secret sickness battle while filming Masked Dancer pregnant

‘Determined’ Stacey Dooley’s secret sickness battle while filming Masked Dancer pregnant

09/28/2022

When she announced that she and Kevin Clifton were having a baby, Stacey Dooley said she was “so bloody delighted”.

But a source close to the star has revealed that the presenter hasn’t had the easiest time, telling us: “Stacey has suffered from morning sickness really badly during her pregnancy and has been quite ill. But she is such a determined person and wants to work right through her pregnancy, which we saw when she took part in The Masked Dancer despite being ill.”

Stacey, who met Kevin, 39, when they were partners on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2018, has opened up about her sickness and pregnancy cravings on Instagram and referred to herself as a “dancing, preggo prawn” when she posted a picture of herself eating a packet of prawn cocktail crisps backstage at The Masked Dancer.

She then apologised to production staff on the show, saying, “So sorry to my gorgeous runner, I just know my dressing room must’ve stunk of 1st trimester sickness”.

But despite feeling so dreadful, Stacey has said she feels “really lucky” to have got pregnant at 35, explaining that she never took it for granted that it would happen.

And according to our source, her relationship with dancer Kevin couldn’t be better. “She and Kevin are so in love, their relationship is stronger than ever and they are so excited to have this baby,” they told us.

“She’s not a worrier, but she’s just trying to get through this sickness. Kevin thinks that exercise is the best thing so supports her continuing to work. Even if he wasn’t [encouraging her], she’s very strong minded and is her own boss. She loves her job and isn’t going to use her pregnancy as an excuse to put her feet up.”

Stacey announced her happy news in August, as she shared a picture of her growing baby bump on Instagram.

The star could be seen cradling her blossoming bump in the polaroid snap, in which she has her black top pulled up and she is smiling widely.


She wrote: "Gaaaaaaang….. We are having a baby!

"So bloody delighted. Kev, you're magic, I love youuuu. (Was becoming impossible to hide and if one more person asks me if I've had my t*ts done in LA I'm gonna scream)"

Dad-to-be Kevin was one of the first to react in the comments section as he wrote: "Love you."

He also shared his own baby announcement on his Instagram.

Posting another picture of TV star Stacey cradling her bump, pro dancer Kevin said: "We’re having a baby! And I think my girl @sjdooley looks beautiful pregnant."
