Stacey Dooley is one of Britain’s most loved documentary presenters. Fashion conscious Stacey’s life took an unexpected turn when she travelled to India in 2007 for the BBC3 series Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts to live and work alongside the people in the Indian fashion industry making clothes for the UK High Street.
Upon her return to the UK, Stacey Dooley began campaigning against child labour, organising events to raise money for charities and even appearing on BBC2’s Newsnight to raise awareness, and has since embarked on a series of investigations to become one of BBC3’s most celebrated presenters
Bringing the focus closer to home, Stacey’s documentary, My Hometown Fanatics: Stacey Dooley Investigates, explored the media hype surrounding Luton in comparison to the political reality of her hometown, and broadcast on BBC3 in February 2012. Stacey has also presented four series of Show Me What You’re Made Of for CBBC, in which young British children adopt the lifestyles of child factory workers abroad.
Already in 2015 Stacey Dooley has been back on our screens with her new BBC3 documentary looking at domestic abuse in the UK in Beaten By My Boyfriend and prime time, three-part series for BBC3 lifting the lid on the global war on drugs culminating in Cannabis Smugglers. Stacey Dooley also returned as a guest panellist on Channel 5’s long-running daytime discussion programme The Wright Stuff.
