Pregnant Stacey Dooley shows off growing baby bump as she counts down to maternity leave

Stacey Dooley showed off her blossoming baby bump as she prepares to head on maternity leave before welcoming her first child.

Stacey is expecting her first child with boyfriend Kevin Clifton and told fans that today was her penultimate day of work before she begins her maternity leave.

The 35 year old TV presenter posed for a mirror selfie in her very stylish home, showing off her baby bump in a beige co-ord.

Looking as stylish as ever despite approaching the final stages of her pregnancy, Stacey teamed her outfit with trainers and gold jewellery, while her red hair was swept back in a relaxed bun.

She wore a green cross body bag across her chest, something which she called "impractical" in her Instagram caption.

Stacey wrote alongside her snap: "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)."

The Strictly Come Dancing winner has been delighting fans with pictures of her growing bump throughout her pregnancy, with her most recent snap leading her followers to speculate her due date.

One fan wrote: "Fab pic. When is due day? Rest rest rest while you can!!!" while another added: "Not long now I guess?! Xx".

A third commented: "Not long! So excited for you. Maybe you'll have a 28th baby, like my one that you met!"

And a fourth joked: "Enjoy your hooped earings whilst you can. All the best for your next chapter."

Stacey and boyfriend Kevin announced their baby news back in August, posting the exciting announcement to Instagram.

Stacey 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)".

The mum-to-be recently gave an update on her pregnancy journey and opened up about some of the anxieties she's had.

She revealed she's sometimes been in tears, as she said: “I was on the sofa the other day and I welled up because I thought, what if it has no mates? I mean, it's not born.

“What if it has no pals? What if it has, you know. What if it gets teased? I'm worrying about all of these things.”

Speaking on looking forward to meeting her child, Stacey said: “My pal said to me, cause I can't pretend that I've always been kind of massively maternal – I feel so made up and I feel so fortunate.

“But my pal said to me, 'Stacey, when you get your baby, it's like your heart has literally left your body and you are holding it and then over the years, it's just walking around and you're in a constant state of anxiety and pride.'

“And I thought, 'Why am I doing this to myself?' But I’m assured it’s worth it. It sounds like a special sort of torture!”
