Stacey Dooley’s fans flooded her Instagram with messages after she made a career announcement
Stacey Dooley has shared some major career news with her fans.
The former Strictly Come Dancing champion has confirmed three new documentaries are coming to BBC Three and iPlayer, reports the Mirror.
Death in the Barracks sees Stacey investigate the circumstances surrounding Royal Artillery Gunner Jaysley Beck’s death at Larkhill Camp barracks in Wiltshire. In Fallen Women, the presenter examines multiple cases of British women who died after falling from height, questioning whether signs of domestic abuse may have been missed in some instances.
Down the K-Hole follows the filmmaker over five months at a Stockport rehabilitation facility, exploring whether former addicts can conquer their dependency and reconstruct their lives.
Revealing the new programmes on Instagram, Stacey commented: “They are going to be some of the most challenging and important films I’ve worked on here in the UK, I’m sure.
“The access we have been afforded to meet those affected, to hear their stories, and try to understand the broader picture feels like an enormous responsibility and one that isn’t lost on me.
“I would like to thank everyone who has agreed to contribute. And I hope all three films encourage thoughtful conversations.”
The star – who claimed the Strictly trophy in 2018 alongside her now-partner Kevin Clifton – continued: “Each one of these documentaries explores difficult, often overlooked issues, from the deaths of women where crucial questions remain, to the growing impact of ketamine use, and for some, the devastating reality faced by those living in military barracks.”
Fans responded enthusiastically to the news, with one writing on Instagram: “Can’t wait!”
“Your work is so powerful and important,” another person commented. “Thank you for shining light on so many communities and problems. I am a HUGE fan.”
“So glad you’re back!” someone else remarked. “Can’t beat your documentaries.”
“This is so exciting and such important work as well, well done, Stacey,” another admirer said.
One follower wrote: “I love how you approach and deal with each of your documentaries. You are so compassionate but have a way of getting to the crux of the matter.”
Emma Loach, interim head of commissioning for documentaries, commented: “Across these documentaries, Stacey draws attention to urgent and deeply troubling issues here in the UK, creating space for voices and experiences that are too often unheard. These are powerful, intimate films that reflect the very best of British storytelling.”
Stacey Dooley’s new documentaries will be on BBC Three and iPlayer.
