Chatting about motherhood, Stacey 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.
“Kev’s like, Stace go and have a cup of tea.”

Stacey announced she was pregnant in August with a sweet Instagram post where she cradled her growing bump, captioned: “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 tits done in LA I’m gonna scream).”
The baby is thought to be due in February.
Stacey continued: “My pal said to me, cos 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!”
Stacey has continued to work throughout her pregnancy and was chatting to Alex Jones about the launch of her new series for W, Alex Jones: Making Babies.
For the series, The One Show host trained as a fertility assistant at one of the leading clinics in the UK.
It will air on W in January.
Stacey and Kevin first met when they were paired together on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing in 2018.
She split from boyfriend Sam Tucknott in early 2019 and later confirmed that she and Clifton were dating.
Speaking about the public interest in her relationship Stacey has said: “I did [struggle] initially, I did at the start. I didn’t realise there would be such an interest, particularly with who I fancy and who I’m dating. I thought that was dull for everyone else.”
In a later episode of her series, Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, she said: “I don’t think I want to get married. I think I’d be more interested in starting a family than getting married.”

Who is Stacey Abrams?
Stacey Abrams is a voting rights activist and former Georgia gubernatorial candidate from Gulfport, Mississippi.
She grew up in a family of six children and her parents struggled to make ends meet.
When she was 15 years old, her parents moved the family to Atlanta, Georgia, and enrolled her at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology.
She graduated as valedictorian in high school in 1991 and received an invitation to meet the governor of Georgia.

Speaking about the significance the event had on her life, Abrams told CBS in 2019: “My parents and I arrived on the MARTA bus, because we didn’t have a car.
“We go up the driveway of the governor’s mansion. We get to the guard gate, and the guard stops us and tells us we don’t belong there, that it’s a private event. My dad says, ‘No, this is my daughter, Stacey. We have an invitation.’
“But the guard doesn’t ask for my invitation that my mom has. And I remember watching him watch the bus pull off.
“And if my mother had not had my arm in a death grip, I would have been back on that bus.”
US Presidential election 2020
The importance of that moment taught her about the place she holds in the world.
Abrams said: “I think two things happened that day. One, they were not going to let me be denied this honor that I’d achieved.
“But two, I think they wanted me to see my responsibility is to not let someone else tell me who I am and where I belong.”
Abrams went on to graduate from Yale Law School and in 2007 she won the seat as a Democrat in the Georgia Assembly.
While in the role, she became the first female minority leader of the Democratic party.
She held the position until 2017 and a year later, she ran for governor against Brian Kemp and lost by only two percentage points.
Aside from her political pursuits, Abrams has also authored a number of books including Our Time Is Now, Lead From The Outside, and several romantic suspense novels under the pen name Selena Montgomery.
Is Stacy Abrams running for governor?
Abrams announced her bid for governor in December 2021, and will once again be going head-to-head against Kemp.
She lost by 1.4 points in the 2018 election, but she is optimistic about being elected after Georgia voted blue in the 2020 presidential election.
The new bid for governor follows Abrams’ refusal to concede when Kemp won the 2018 election for governor.
The Brennan Center for Justice reported at the time that Kemp allegedly purged 1.5million voters from the election roles while he was Secretary of State.
Kemp claimed he was eliminating the ineligible voters for the integrity of the election, but Abrams claimed that by doing that, he stole the election.
After her loss, Abrams spoke in what would have been a concession speech, saying: “So, let’s be clear – this is not a speech of concession, because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper.
“As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that. But, my assessment is the law currently allows no further viable remedy.”
Abrams pushed back and started Fair Fight – a voter registration group.
The group is believed to have been a key component in President Joe Biden winning Georgia in the 2020 election.
Abrams said her reasoning in part for running again for governor is to bring together a divided Georgia.
Alongside her announcement video, Abrams wrote on Twitter: “I’m running for Governor because opportunity in our state shouldn’t be determined by zip code, background, or access to power.”
Kemp has pushed back against Abrams, saying the election in November “is a battle for the soul of our state.”
“I’m in the fight against Stacey Abrams, the failed Biden agenda, and their woke allies to keep Georgia the best place to live, work, and raise a family,” Kemp added.
But in her video, Abrams says: “That’s the job of governor – to fight for one Georgia, our Georgia. And now, it is time to get the job done.”
What is Fair Fight?
Abrams launched Fair Fight in an effort to promote fair elections in Georgia and around the country.
Fair Fight works to encourage voter participation in elections and to educate voters about their voting rights.
After she lost the 2018 governor election, Abrams started the organization which filed a lawsuit aimed at reforming Georgia’s electoral process.
Fair Fight’s website says: “Voter suppression of voters of color and young voters is a scourge our country faces in states across the nation.”
Abrams said the majority of people in the US don’t have to think about how they’ll vote or when they can vote, saying it comes down to minority groups who are directly hindered by the voting process.
“When you have never spent more than seven minutes in line, it is nearly impossible to imagine that there are poor Black people who stand in line for eight hours, miss an entire day’s wages, risk losing their jobs simply to cast a ballot in an election that may or may not have any benefit in their lives,” Abrams told CBS.
Abrams’ goal to expand voting rights and omit voter suppression is one step further toward her end goal. Running for president.
Abrams told CBS she “absolutely” holds running for president as an ambition saying it is also her “responsibility” to tell people “yes.”
“And even more importantly, when someone asks me if that’s my ambition, I have a responsibility to say yes, for every young woman, every person of color, every young person of color, who sees me and decides what they’re capable of based on what I think I am capable of,” Abrams said.
She added: “Again, it’s about you cannot have those things you refuse to dream of.”

What has Stacey Dash said about her addiction?

“I became angry at I’d say around the age of 10 or 11, which is when my mother finally left my father. Even though my home was unstable and my father was a heroin addict, I knew he loved me. He just couldn’t beat it. He couldn’t overcome the addiction.”
When asked how much money she had spent on drugs, Stacey estimated about $5,000 to $10,000 each month.
“That’s what stopped me. I almost died,” she recalled.
“My kidneys were so infected that my blood was septic, and my organs were shutting down.”
“So, I got rushed to the hospital and I had to have a full blood transfusion and I was in there for three weeks.”
“And by the grace and mercy of god, I lived.”
Dash once again brought her addiction into the spotlight on September 1, 2022, when she learned about the death of rapper DMX, who died last year on April 9, 2021.
Dash posted a video to her TikTok account in which she cries, admitting that she’d only just learned about the death.

“I didn’t know…. DMX died, I didn’t know—from a cocaine overdose.”

BBC announce Gavin and Stacey star Nessa has signed for Strictly – but fans are confused

The post included a picture of the no-nonsense character, who is played by Ruth Jones in Gavin & Stacey, against the Strictly backdrop.
Some quickly clocked the post as a joke, but others took it at face value.
One follower wrote: “OMG, can’t wait” while another raved: “I mean that’s BLOODY AMAZING.”

The account later admitted the tweet was a joke – not least because Nessa is a fictional character.
Plus, there are only 15 contestants on Strictly and they have already been announced – with The Sun revealing the full line-up this morning.
One fan replied: “Cruel. Very cruel. .”
Ruth Jones – who co-created and wrote Gavin & Stacey with James Corden, tweeted emojis of a laughing face, dancing woman and a disco ball.
