Stacey Dooley poses in crop top a month after giving birth to baby Minnie

Stacey Dooley is back in crop tops a month after giving birth to her baby daughter.

The 35-year-old TV presenter welcomed her first child with Strictly Come Dancing star boyfriend Kevin Clifton in January - and revealed they had called her Minnie.

And while baby Minnie was sleeping, fashion-loving Stacey found time to pop to the shops with her BFF for a bit of well-deserved me time.

Posting a video of her trying on outfits from the new Raey collection, Stacey told her 1.1 million Instagram followers: “Me and the bff had a nose at the new Raey collection (v v good btw) and had a dreamy lunch to celebrate LFW.

“As ALWAYS the gang at Raey were just so bloody kind. Such goodies. And the team at Matches just so sweeeet.

She added: “It’s never stuffy or mean fashion-y in there. Ta so so much.”

In the clip Stacey is seen wearing a huge pair of black sunglasses as she tried on a black strapless maxi dress and grey oversized suit.

The video then showed her cuddling baby Minnie on her shoulder as she posed in a pair of low slung maternity jeans and a white crop top.

Fans were quick to comment on the post praising her for looking so good after recently giving birth.

One follower wrote: “Seriously have you just had a baby? Look amazing Stace.”

Another commented: “Such a flat tummy after having a baby” while a third said: “How have you just had your first bloody baby?? Gorge and on point as ever!”

But Stacey was brutally honest about the realities of being a new mum - revealing it would be a while yet until she was back to her post-baby figure.

One of her followers posted: “For anyone worried they’re not back in their jeans after having a baby it’s cool, we’re all different, took me ages. Stacey you look great, hope you’re feeling well and having a lovely rest xx.”

Stacey replied saying: “Absolutely! My own jeans still don’t fit, that’s why I’m trying on these! I think I’ve got a while yet xxx.”

Another follower commented: “Wow! I’m 9 weeks in and still in maternity. You look great!”

Sharing real life isn’t always what you see on the ‘gram, Stacey said back: “Babe, I haven’t washed or brushed my teeth today... sooooo... congrats on ur baby!”

A third follower said: “Not that you, or any woman, should have to, but you look fantastic for someone who has just had a baby.”

Stacey joked back: “The sunnies are hiding the dark bags!”

Revealing they had become parents on January 17, Stacey and Kevin didn’t post a snap of their newborn daughter, but instead posted a photo of an envelope announcing their little one's name.

The white envelope simply read: “Minnie’s parents.”

In the caption, Stacey wrote: “"Our Daughter is here. My little masterpiece! I'm COMPLETELY OBSESSED. Love you Minnie, Love you Kev x."

Kevin also announced the happy news on his own Instagram, writing: "Our daughter is here. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. So proud of u @sjdooley. Love u Minnie, Love u Stace x."
