Stacey Dooley is opening up on one important issue she has with children and social media after reposting a video to her social media to share her views\"StaceyStacey is speaking out on one important issue for her<\/p>\n

Stacey Dooley<\/a> is making a big admission as she vows to \u2018die on this hill\u2019 over a popular issue with children. The documentary maker, 38, is a proud mum to daughter Minnie, whom she shares with the Strictly Come Dancing <\/a>professional.<\/p>\n

They welcomed Minnie in January 2023, having met each other on the BBC <\/a>dance competition back in 2018. Stacey shares occasional updates on their home life together, but decided to share more in a candid admission on her latest TV series.<\/a><\/p>\n

On her Instagram<\/a> story, reposting a video about kids and social media, titled \u201cCan a government actually ban social media for kids? Australia<\/a> vs big tech\u201d, Stacey reposted the video and said she will “die on this hill.”<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI will die on this hill bbz! Australia, you are totally right, and I commend you for prioritising your children\u2019s health,\u201d as she signed off with a love heart.<\/p>\n

This comes after Stacey<\/a> broke down in tears as she bravely opened up about suffering an ectopic pregnancy<\/a> with husband Kevin Clifton. In her hit documentary, Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, the presenter stayed over with Britain’s first legally recognised gay father, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow. He is an outspoken supporter of commercial surrogacy, which is banned in the UK.<\/p>\n

As Stacey got to know Barrie in his own home, she explained that she didn’t share the same sentiments as him, as he said he wants his children to be beautiful.<\/p>\n

Speaking alone to the camera, Stacey decided to share her hidden struggle to welcome another child with Kevin. “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 fell 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<\/a>, an ectopic pregnancy<\/a> is when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. They say it is not possible to save the pregnancy, with 1 in 90 pregnancies being ectopic in the UK.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Stacey candidly opened up about the challenges she’s faced since becoming a mother in 2023. <\/a>During an appearance on the Parenting Hell podcast with Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe, she admitted that her sex life with Kevin took a backseat as their daughter sleeps in their bed.<\/p>\n

However, Stacey said she’s not bothered by it, as she\u2019s completely content cuddling up to their two-year-old. Stacey admitted: “We need to start remembering how to have sex.”<\/p>\n

She went on: “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
