Stacey Dooley wishes she 'brought some earplugs' after being kept awake at a brothel
The 37-year-old TV star, who has fronted a number of hard-hitting documentaries for her ‘Stacey Dooley Investigates’ series on BBC Three, is gearing up for the second season of ‘Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over USA’, where she will spend the first episode of the UKTV show at the country’s only legal brothel - the Mustang Ranch - in Nevada.
However, the presenter admitted she couldn’t get to sleep after hearing the women at work.
She told The Sun newspaper: “The sole purpose of this room is to service the client. I’ve got girls either side of me, that’s the only thing. I should’ve brought some earplugs!”
After meeting some of the workers, including Missy, Stacey revealed she could “hear everything” through the walls, and emphasised the women “must be absolutely exhausted” after hearing them work all night long.
She explained: “You could hear everything! Missy was right next door, and she was such a sweetheart.
“She had one night where she had one after the other, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, this girl mist be absolutely exhausted.’”
Aside from her documentaries, Stacey is well-known for appearing on and winning the 2018 series of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, where she struck up a relationship with her partner Kevin Clifton.
The couple have since gone on to welcome daughter Minnie in January 2023.
Despite having tackled some particularly harrowing subjects across her TV career, Stacey insisted that becoming a mother was the hardest thing she has ever had to do.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: “To say I have found the last couple of months easy would be totally disingenuous.
“I used to think people were exaggerating and being melodramatic when they were saying how hard it is. But, honest to God, it’s the hardest gig you’ll ever do.”
