Stacey Dooley Reflects on Motherhood and New Season of ’Sleeps Over’

Stacey Dooley reveals how becoming a mother to her two-year-old daughter Minnie has subtly shaped her perspective while filming the sixth season of ’Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over.’ She admits to now seeing interviews through the lens of parenthood, often wondering how she would react if her own child faced similar situations. The show’s enduring popularity surprises even her, as she reflects on its intimate format and the unique connections it fosters.

This season features jaw-dropping encounters, including a weekend with adult content creator Lily Phillips, whose outrageous persona hides a surprising sweetness. Stacey also visits Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, Britain’s first legally recognized gay father, in his lavish Essex home, where opulence and family warmth collide. Each episode offers a glimpse into lives far removed from her own, yet deeply relatable in their humanity.

The emotional toll of being away from home is balanced by the joy of sharing these stories. Stacey cherishes fan reactions, from cab drivers quoting episodes to viewers debating the families featured. With enthusiasm for a potential seventh season, she proves that ’Sleeps Over’ remains a beloved exploration of the extraordinary in everyday lives.
