Stacey Dooley<\/a> broke down in tears as she courageously revealed her heartbreaking ectopic pregnancy ordeal with husband Kevin Clifton.<\/a>The documentary maker, 38, is mum to daughter Minnie<\/a>, whom she shares with the Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> professional. The couple welcomed Minnie in January 2023, having first met on the BBC<\/a> dance show back in 2018.<\/p>\n

Stacey occasionally shares glimpses of their family life together, but chose to open up more deeply in a raw confession during her latest television series.<\/p>\n

Her popular show Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over has returned to U, with the presenter staying overnight with Britain’s first legally recognised gay father, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, reports the Mirror.<\/p>\n

He is a vocal advocate for commercial surrogacy, which remains prohibited in the UK.<\/p>\n

As Stacey became acquainted with Barrie in his residence, she disclosed that she doesn’t share his views when he expressed his desire for his children to be beautiful.<\/p>\n

Speaking directly to the camera in private, Stacey chose to reveal her hidden battle to expand her family with Kevin.<\/p>\n

“I have experienced what it is like to struggle to have a child,” she said.<\/p>\n

“We obviously wanted to expand our family and last year I feel pregnant and it didn’t go brilliantly. It was ectopic… I am so sorry because this is so predictable. I am sat here crying on a bed. It was ectopic and it was really f***ing difficult.<\/p>\n

“There was an internal rupture and there had to be emergency surgery. Of course, when you go through something like that you are forced to think of alternatives. S*** happens and if you want a bigger family, you have to think how you’re going to do that.”<\/p>\n

According to the NHS, an ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb, typically in one of the fallopian tubes. They state it is not possible to save the pregnancy, with 1 in 90 pregnancies being ectopic in the UK.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Stacey frankly discussed the difficulties she’s encountered since becoming a mother in 2023. During her stint on the Parenting Hell podcast with Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe, she confessed that her intimate life with Kevin had taken a back seat as their daughter shares their bed.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Stacey revealed she’s not troubled by it, as she’s perfectly happy snuggling up to their two year old. Stacey confessed: “We need to start remembering how to have sex.”<\/p>\n

She continued: “Minnie is in our bed. I am sort of not really ar**d. I know there’s such emphasis on getting kids in their own bed, but I think it’s because Kev is away so much anyway.<\/p>\n

“What am I doing otherwise? Maybe when Kev is back on the scene, we will start remembering how you have sex. Then maybe I would think, Minnie, you’re going to have to go and hang out in your own bedroom now.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stacey Dooley broke down in tears as she courageously revealed her heartbreaking ectopic pregnancy ordeal with husband Kevin…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":152758,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[70132,10678,96,59,69646,70134,41609,70133,70129,70130,70131,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-152757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-bbc-strictly","tag-clifton","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-kevin-clifton","tag-kevin-clifton-stacey-dooley","tag-stacey-dooley","tag-stacey-dooley-kevin-clifton","tag-strictly","tag-strictly-2025","tag-strictly-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
