OHMYGOSSIP — Stacey Dooley “thoroughly enjoyed” living with nuns for her new show.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ winner’s new programme ‘Stacey Dooley – Inside The Convent’ – which will debut on BBC One next month – tells what it is like to live a slower life among among the Sisters.
The 35-year-old documentary maker – who lives with her boyfriend, former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ pro Kevin Clifton – says she lives in a “constant sate of 21st-century busyness”, but she recently took a break from her hectic lifestyle to get to know the Sisters at the The Order of the Holy Paraclete Anglican Religious Community at St Hilda’s Priory in Whitby.
Stacey immersed herself in “their way of life” to see which aspects she might be able to adopt, ranging from singing and sharing meals.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I had wanted to film in a convent for a while, so was delighted when the Sisters at St Hilda’s invited us into their home, allowing us to truly witness and experience, first hand, their way of life.
“I really do believe it can be hugely beneficial, spending time with those you wouldn’t usually. It forces you to see things from an entirely different perspective.”
This comes after the ‘This is My House’ presenter recently spoke about one of her other shows, a cooking competition called ‘Hungry For It’, admitting she is “completely useless” in the kitchen.
She said: “I’ve just made a cooking show, ‘Hungry For It’ – it’s a really lovely series with 10 brilliant cooks, but not professional chefs.
“As you’ve learned, I’m completely useless when it comes to cooking and food, but my job was to look after the aspiring chefs and make sure they felt comfy.
“It can be quite high-pressured, can’t it? And you end up having such a soft spot for these people. You’re rooting for them because we know a TV show can totally change their life.”
