Stacey Dooley has revealed that her daughter Minnie has taken her surname in a special Instagram post to mark International Women's Day.

Dooley and partner Kevin Clifton welcomed little Minnie into the world last month, with the documentary star taking to Instagram to announce their arrival.

Sharing a photo of an envelope, which read 'Minnie's Parents', Dooley wrote: "Our Daughter is here. My little masterpiece! I'm COMPLETELY OBSESSED.

"Love you Minnie, Love you Kev x."

While Minnie's surname wasn't announced with that first Instagram post, the TV presenter has decided now is the time to announce her daughter's full name.

It's fairly common for babies to take their dad's surname, but for whatever reason, Minnie is not a Clifton.

Dooley announced the news today (9 March), with a lovely gift she gave to her daughter in the form of a handwritten letter.

While the presenter kept what was written on the letter firmly under wraps, she did reveal the special design that she painted on the front, a nice yellow flower.

Underneath this was her daughters full name, Minnie Dooley.

In the photo she posted to her Instagram stories, Dooley wrote: "Mummy's gift to Minnie this IWD. Our leading lady…"

Since Minnie's arrival, Dooley and Clifton have shared very few pictures of Minnie, with Dooley recently sharing an inspirational quote: "It's okay if it takes a little longer than you thought."

Clifton has also been vocal about how he is finding parenthood, with him recently revealing that he feels guilty when he spends time away from Minnie due to work.

Speaking on BBC's Morning Live, the professional dancer said: "I'm obsessed, I'm absolutely obsessed. We've just completely fallen in love with her.

"I do feel a little bit guilty sometimes when I'm on the road. Like I miss them as they're obviously at home, but I do get a night's sleep."

Dooley announced that she was expecting a baby with Clifton in August last year. In a post to Instagram, she shared a polaroid picture of her holding her bump.

She said: "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**s done in LA I'm gonna scream)."

And in a post over New Year, the 35-year-old revealed that she found out she was expecting while she was in Selfridges.
