'After two nights, I do miss home'

Stacey Dooley's hit sleepover docuseries is back and she's staying with more fascinating figures

- 

Stacey Dooley is back for the sixth series of the much-loved Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over — the intimate show in which she spends time inside the homes of extraordinary people, delving deep into their lives beyond the headlines.

Even for Stacey, its staying power feels surreal. “I can’t quite believe we're on our sixth series. It does feel wild but brilliant,” she said. “It's such an achievement and a testament in terms of how loved the series is.” The “sleepover” format has always felt natural to her. “It’s immediately intimate,” Stacey said. And with this season's lineup, she promises a few jaw-dropping moments.

First up is Lily Phillips — a high-profile adult content creator with a huge following and a knack for stirring up controversy. Stacey says she knew what to expect, revealing: “I knew that Lily Phillips was going to be an adventurous weekend and I knew that it was going to be quite full-on but I leaned into that.” She added: “I enjoy making episodes that are worlds away from my day-to-day life. That’s the beauty of it.”
