TV star Stacey Dooley has revealed how welcoming her daughter into the world completely transformed her outlook on life and career priorities.
In an emotional new interview, the award-winning documentary maker opened up about the profound changes motherhood has brought, admitting she now sees the world through a different lens.
A New Perspective
The 37-year-old presenter, who shares one-year-old Minnie with partner Kevin Clifton, confessed she's become far more emotional since becoming a parent.
"I cry at everything now," Dooley laughed. "Adverts, films, news stories - things that never would have affected me before now hit me completely differently."
Career Shifts
The former Strictly winner explained how becoming a mother has influenced her professional choices too, saying she's now more selective about projects.
"Work has to be worth being away from Minnie," she stated firmly. "That's my benchmark for everything now."
Dooley revealed she's particularly drawn to stories about children and parenting since her own journey into motherhood began.
Balancing Act
The broadcaster spoke honestly about the challenges of juggling a high-profile career with parenting responsibilities.
"It's not easy," she admitted. "But seeing the world through Minnie's eyes makes everything more meaningful."
Dooley's candid revelations come as she prepares to front a new documentary series exploring parenting challenges across different cultures.
