Strictly Come Dancing finalist Stacey Dooley has "made her mum's life" by hitting the dancefloor – so much so that the presenter is having to lay down Strictly ground rules.

Stacey, who's hoping to get her hands on the Glitterball Trophy this weekend, told Stylist that she's having to limit the number of times her mum comes to watch her perform.

Why? Because she's hogging all the spots, of course. (As any proud parent would do.)

Stacey's mum will be hoping to watch her daughter be crowned this year's Strictly champion when she visits the ballroom this weekend – although, we reckon Stacey's professional partner Kevin Clifton wants it more.

"I'm becoming brilliant at just standing there and smiling and telling everyone it's all about taking part," Kevin said of his losing streak, "but underneath I'm raging!
