Former Strictly Come Dancing star Kevin Clifton has revealed baby Minnie's sweet new obsession.

The dancer and his partner Stacey Dooley welcomed their daughter earlier this year, with Kevin saying at the time that the newborn was "the most beautiful thing [he's] ever seen".

The star has now taken to Instagram to post a picture of Minnie glued to the TV screen, revealing she has taken a liking to In the Night Garden… and character Igglepiggle.

"Any recommendations for shows Minnie might like? She’s obsessed with Iggle Piggle @nightgardenhq," Kevin told fans, with followers sharing suggestions such as Bluey and Peppa Pig.

Back in July, Kevin and Stacey admitted a disagreement about Minnie's potential dance future, with the dancer admitting he didn't want her to follow in his footsteps.

"I don't want Minnie to dance," he said on documentary Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over: Family and Me. "It's too competitive a world. I would rather she do something else, anything else."

However, Stacey said: "I think she's going to have rhythm because, of course, Kev can dance. I would love her to dance."

TV presenter and journalist Stacey met Kevin in the 2018 series of Strictly, which they went on to win together.

Strictly Come Dancing returns for its launch special on September 16 on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
