Stacey Dooley has revealed that she took her eight-month-old daughter Minnie to a legal brothel in Nevada while filming a documentary about sex workers. The 38-year-old presenter required special permission from the local sheriff to bring her baby into The Mustang Ranch, Nevada's oldest legal brothel.
Speaking at the Hay Literary Festival in Wales, Dooley joked that the situation 'sounded like a comedy sketch'. She explained that she had signed the contract before giving birth and initially thought it would be fine to leave her baby at home, but when the time came, she was not comfortable being separated from her daughter.
Dooley rented a trailer for Minnie and her father, Kevin Clifton, to stay in while she filmed. She would look out of the window to see them and return to the trailer to breastfeed. The prostitutes at the brothel reportedly greeted Minnie with 'Morning Miss Minnie!' Dooley quipped: 'She'll be open-minded if nothing else!'
Earlier this year, Dooley also spoke candidly about the challenges of motherhood, admitting that her sex life with Kevin has taken a backseat as their daughter sleeps in their bed. She said: 'We need to start remembering how to have sex.' However, she added that she is not bothered by the situation and cherishes cuddling with her two-year-old.
