Stacey Dooley has revealed she took her baby daughter to a brothel in Nevada, while she was filming a documentary about prostitution in the United States.
In the latest series of Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over USA, the presenter, 38, visited the oldest legal brothel in Nevada, the Mustang Ranch, to explore the lives of sex workers in the States.
But she has now revealed that her daughter, Minnie, came along for the visit, when she was just eight-months-old, joking ‘it sounds like a comedy sketch’.
Stacey recalled the story at the Hay Literary Festival in Wales, during a panel with journalist Emma Barnett, where she discussed how she juggled balancing motherhood and work.
The broadcaster explained that she brings her little girl, who she shares with boyfriend Kevin Clifton, along with her for filming – including to the more unusual locations.

According to The Telegraph, she admitted: ‘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.
‘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 explained that she had to rent a trailer for Minnie to stay in with dad Kevin and that the little girl would watch out the window while she was filming.
She hilariously recalled that when she returned to the trailer to breastfeed, the prostitutes at the brothel would greet her daughter with: ‘Morning Miss Minnie!’
The presenter quipped: ‘I’m like: she’ll be open minded if nothing else!’
In March, Stacey released a book called Dear Minnie, in which she wrote a heartfelt letter to her now two-year-old.
In the letter, she detailed the moment she realised she was expecting back in 2022, after taking a pregnancy test in the Selfridges toilet.
But she has now revealed that her daughter, Minnie, came along for the visit, when she was just eight-months-old, joking ‘it sounds like a comedy sketch’ (seen with Minnie and Kevin)

Last month, Stacey admitted that her and Kevin’s sex life has taken a backseat since their daughter started sleeping in their bed.
But she insisted she wasn’t bothered by the arrangement and poked fun about her lack of alone time with Kevin by quipping: ”We need to start remembering how to have sex.’
Kevin is currently touring the country as Billy Flynn in Chicago The Musical, with the tour running until August.
But Stacey has no plans to change her bedtime routine before his return, as she loves having Minnie by her side overnight.
She explained: ‘Minnie is in our bed. I am sort of not really a***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
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.
She shared on the Parenting Hell podcast with comedians Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe: ‘Of an evening we’ll have something to eat, then I’ll put her in the bath.
‘We have a bit of a chat, put her PJ’s on and we just end up getting in my bed together.
‘We watch one episode of Paddington then go to sleep. I am going to bed early, at 8pm. I love it, honestly!’
Minnie started getting used to sleeping with one of her grandmothers last year when they babysat while Stacey made her stage debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story in the West End.
Stacey added: ‘Now she is so used to being taken to bed – in a double bed – and having someone to sleep with. It was my mum or Kev’s mum and they were going to bed at 8 o’clock, too.’
