Kevin Clifton has shared a new development his 18-week-old daughter Minnie has made… and our hearts are melting into a puddle.
In January this year, TV presenter Stacey Dooley, 36, and former Strictly Come Dancing professional Kevin, 40, welcomed their first child together, four years after the couple started dating.
The previous year, they were partnered up on Strictly, and soared their way to victory to win the coveted Glitterball Trophy.
On Monday’s Good Morning Britain, Kevin joined co-hosts Richard Madeley, 67, and Susanna Reid, 52, in the ITV studio.
They began their interview by talking about his home life, with the performer describing his child as ‘amazing’.
‘I’ve just left her this morning. She’s just at that stage where she’s starting to laugh now, doing anything. Even sort of wobbling your head and going, “Hiya!”’

After Kevin confirmed her age, Richard appeared shocked at how old she was already.
‘Oh my goodness! That is advanced,’ he remarked.
‘You can see them downloading, can’t you? You can see them really getting switched on.’
Susanna, who was partnered with Kevin on Strictly in 2013, couldn’t help aww-ing on the pictures of Minnie and her parents that appeared on screen.
Kevin added that Stacey was ‘amazing’, explaining that just last week he’d been on tour performing in Aberdeen.

‘Come back just for the day for Sunday, and spent the day with them, and I’m absolutely exhausted from it. But Stacey just carries on,’ he said.
‘I don’t know how she does it. It must be this motherly thing that kicks in, I dunno. I don’t know how she does it. She’s an amazing mum.’
When Stacey announced that she’d given birth, she also revealed the sweet name that she and Kevin had chosen to name their daughter, describing the newborn as her little ‘masterpiece’.
‘I’m COMPLETELY OBSESSED,’ she wrote, before adding: ‘Love you Minnie, Love you Kev x.’
The journalist returned to work just a month after giving birth, shortly after posting an adorable video of Minnie with Kevin to mark Valentine’s Day.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.
