Stacey Jaclyn Dooley MBE[1] (born 9 March 1987) is an English television presenter, journalist, and media personality.

[2] In 2018, Dooley published her debut book, On the Front Line with the Women Who Fight Back, which became a Sunday Times Bestseller.

[5][6] Dooley was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2018 Birthday Honours for services to broadcasting.

Thanks to her appearance on the show, and partly because of her interest in labour laws in developing countries, a series was commissioned with Dooley as presenter.

Over two episodes, Dooley investigated how tourism in Thailand and Kenya affects employees there, in particular with regard to wages, corruption and environmental changes.

A three-part series titled Coming Here Soon was broadcast on BBC Three in June and July 2012, in which Dooley explored the lives of young people in three countries affected by the global financial crisis: Greece, Ireland and Japan.

[21] In November 2016, Dooley appeared in a BBC Three series Brainwashing Stacey, where she went to a US anti-abortion summer camp and then to some African big-game hunters.

[4] In December 2016, Dooley was stopped by police in Tokyo while filming Young Sex For Sale In Japan, a documentary about child sexual exploitation in that country.

After initially being confronted by two men who demanded "no movies", the pair tried to use physical force against the film crew to make them leave the area.

In the 2018 series of Stacey Dooley Investigates, she travelled to Russia, Florida, Iraq and Hungary to explore more challenging issues such as child exploitation, sex offenders, war, domestic violence, pollution in the fashion industry and coming face-to-face with an ISIS soldier for which she won a One World Media Award.

[26] On 16 August 2018, Dooley was announced as the eighth contestant to take part in the sixteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing.

[33] In 2020, Dooley appeared in Jessie Ware's music video for "Save a Kiss" and the game show Michael McIntyre's The Wheel.

[36] In April 2024, it was announced that Dooley would be making her stage debut as Jenny in 2:22 A Ghost Story at the Gielgud Theatre.

[42] Dooley was criticised in February 2019 after she posted photos holding a Ugandan child[43] on her Instagram account during a trip to Uganda organised by British charity Comic Relief.

British MP David Lammy tweeted in response to a news story about Dooley: "The world does not need any more white saviours.

[47] In June 2019, Comic Relief founder Richard Curtis told members of the British Parliament that the charity would stop sending celebrities abroad as a consequence of the controversy.
