Stacey Dooley takes baby daughter Minnie to a brothel as she reveals prostitutes' response

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

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.
