Stacey Dooley takes daughter to a brothel and shares prostitutes' response
Stacey Dooley revealed she once took her baby daughter to a brothel while filming a documentary about sex workers in America. The 38-year-old presenter had to get 'special permission' from the police to take her then eight-month-old baby, Minnie, to Nevada's oldest legal brothel called The Mustang Ranch.
She joked it 'sounded like a comedy sketch' as she detailed why she decided to bring her baby with her. During a panel with Emma Barnett at the Hay Literary Festival in Wales, Stacey said: "There's nowhere that child hasn't been. When she was eight months we had this gig in the diary to go to the States to make a documentary about this legal brothel in Nevada.
"I'd sort of signed the contract and was like: oh, she'll be eight months, that'll be fine. Anyway, the trip comes, and I'm nowhere near comfortable leaving her so I take my eight-month-old child to this brothel in Nevada."
She went on to say: "I have to ask the sheriff for special permission, because she's under 18. It sounds like a comedy sketch, but it's legit!"
Stacey went on to explain how she rented a trailer for Minnie to stay in her dad, Kevin Clifton, and that she would look out the window to see her filming.
When she would return to the trailer to breastfeed, the prostitutes at the brothel would adorably greet Minnie with: "Morning Miss Minnie!" The presenter then joked: "I'm like: she'll be open-minded if nothing else!"
Earlier this year, Stacey candidly opened up about the challenges she's faced since becoming a mother in 2023.
During an appearance on the Parenting Hell podcast with Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe, she admitted that her sex life with Kevin took a backseat as their daughter sleeps in their bed.
However, Stacey said she's not bothered by it, as she's completely content cuddling up to their two-year-old. Stacey admitted: "We need to start remembering how to have sex."
She went on: "Minnie is in our bed. I am sort of not really ar**d. I know there's such emphasis on getting kids in their own bed, but I think it's because Kev is away so much anyway.
"What am I doing otherwise? Maybe when Kev is back on the scene, we will start remembering how you have sex.
"Then maybe I would think, Minnie, you're going to have to go and hang out in your own bedroom now." For now, Stacey is cherishing every moment with her little girl and even doesn't mind going to bed at 8pm to avoid disrupting Minnie's routine.

Tamzin Outhwaite addresses painful co-parenting journey after Tom Ellis cheating claims
Tamzin Outhwaite reveals the emotional toll of co-parenting after Tom Ellis' alleged infidelities, saying he's now "in and out" of their children's lives Tamzin Outhwaite has laid bare the fallout from her failed marriage to Lucifer star Tom Ellis, revealing that he's now 'in and out' of their children's lives - and that she's still discovering the extent of his betrayal, even a decade later. Speaking candidly on the Parenting Hell podcast, the EastEnders actress, 54, opened up about the painful split. She went on to detail her life now, including the difficulty of co-parenting with him, and the pride she feels in how far she and her family have come. Tamzin and Tom tied the knot in 2006, introduced by actor James McAvoy. But their nine-year marriage ended in 2014 after Ellis reportedly confessed to an affair with Lost actress Emilie de Ravin. In 2023, she stunned fans with a now-deleted tweet marking the 10-year anniversary of the day Ellis walked out. "I still meet new people on jobs who reveal more infidelities and lies that he committed," she wrote. "But thankfully my heart and soul are clear and clean and I could not be happier right now." She later added: "I was marking the 10-year anniversary with pride... a feeling of triumph and genuine gratitude." For anyone struggling, the most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself." Tamzin shares two children with Ellis - Flo, 17, and Marnie, 12. When podcast host Josh Widdicombe mentioned the split happened "about 10 years ago," she replied: "Yeah, it was literally when the kids were tiny. Marnie was not even one." And on Ellis' role in their lives now, she commented, 'He lives in LA. So he's pretty in and out of their lives, but they have a lot of support and people that have been around." Opening up further about her family life, Tamzin revealed how her eldest child, Flo, came out as transgender around age 10 or 11."I did have two daughters and now I have a son and a daughter," she said. "That's quite easy for me to say now, but it wasn't maybe six or seven years ago." She admitted the early days were difficult: "There were some dark times... It was a very distressing time." "Initially, I would say, don't be ridiculous. I didn't say it out loud, but my mind went, 'That's ludicrous.'' The family has sought therapy and support, with Tamzin admitting, "We worked together as a family and with outside help," she said. "If you push back on a kid, they'll want to do the opposite. I didn't say, 'You can't be that,' but it was tough." Now, she is incredibly happy with her inspiring children. The ex-soap star shared, "He's an incredibly funny, intelligent boy… an incredible actor, desperate to be a comedy writer." Outhwaite said."To see him thriving is just nothing but relief and joy for me." Since the split, Ellis has remarried—tying the knot with screenwriter Meaghan Oppenheimer in 2019. Tamzin was in a long-term relationship with filmmaker Tom Child, which ended recently, though she still calls him her "best mate" and says he's often around. When discussing public conversations around trans rights, Tamzin said, "It really is less than one per cent of the population… but I'm just so happy for him." "The whole LGBT community get a bit of a hard rap at the moment – it's quite tough," adding, "Every situation is different, every child is different… You're not alone."

If we are doing anything wrong please be kind. This is a totally new journey for us & we are doing our best to give teddy the best life he can possibly have so just let us know if you have any tips."

Teddy became suddenly unwell on Thursday. It turns out he has a predisposed condition we had no idea about as he was a rescue." Stacey continued: "He has been operated on by incredible vets and the next 3-4 days are crucial for him to get through, even then, he might not ever fully recover. We are praying and hoping so hard that he pulls through & that we can care for him in the best way we possibly can to give him the best life he can have." She concluded the original post by sharing her family's devastation over the situation. She wrote: "We are all truly devastated. He is the sweetest, most protective, loving dog. He's our family. And far too young to be going through this." In a message to Teddy, she said: "We love you Ted. So so much. Pickle cottage is far too quiet without you. I miss my toilet buddy. Peanut is so sad without his best friend."

FAMILY LIFE Stacey, who has five children - Zachary, Leighton, Rex, Rose and Belle - shares her youngest three with her husband Joe Swash. The couple live at their Essex home, affectionately called Pickle Cottage, along with their beloved pets including dogs Teddy and Peanut, and their cat Princess. Inside Stacey Solomon's Pickle Cottage STACEY Solomon splashed out a massive £1.2million on Pickle Cottage - and Joe Swash didn't put in a penny. She solely stumped up the cash for their Tudor-style Essex property, which is set in 2.5 acres and boasts an outdoor swimming pool. The former X Factor star and Joe live there with Zachary, Leighton, Rex, Rose, and Belle. It's not known why Stacey went alone, as ex-EastEnders actor Joe is reportedly worth over £1million, but has also been made bankrupt twice in 2009 and 2013. Shrewd Stacey has shown she's a dab hand at running a wide range of successful businesses including TV, books, clothing and homeware ranges. Her main firm Key Map Entertainments is worth just shy of £3million - and she's also branched out into cosmetics. The former X Factor contestant registered the company Belle & Rose Ltd, named after her youngest two daughters. They currently have their own fly-on-the-wall BBC reality series, titled Stacey and Joe. Viewers have already seen the ex EastEnders actor break down in a candid chat with his wife while discussing the challenges he's faced with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Stacey previously confessed viewers would see 'domestics' between her and Joe. And this proved to be true, as the pair were seen clashing on screen over parenting issues. 6 Earlier this year, the family feared Teddy would not survive his ordeal Credit: Instagram 6 Stacey husband Joe Swash and their family live at the stunning Pickle Cottage Credit: Instagram
