Stacey Dooley was born in Luton, Bedfordshire, and was raised on a council estate by her mum Diane. She said her career was kick-started following a chance ...

"People can tell you to eff off and do all the time. She told The Guardian : "You have to be brave and ask the questions on the tip of your tongue. But you can’t have people screaming at the screen the question you didn’t have the balls to ask. Before she made her big break on the BBC documentary, Stacey had worked as a hairdresser before going on to work at Luton Airport selling perfume and waitressing on the side. The documentary - called Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts - follows the stories of young fashion consumers on a journey to India, and Stacey was a stand-out character from the series. Stacey Dooley's career has been varied, to say the least, rising to fame as an investigative journalist and documentary presenter.

TV review: The usually empathetic presenter just wasn't on the sisters' wavelength.

And so she leaves the convent none the wiser. Instead she reads the lines and gets on with her day. The scene is presented as the culmination of her 10 days in Whitby. Yet for this to work as a climactic pay-off, there needs to be a sense that Dooley is having a moment of profound revelation. She asks Sister Grace, who is 56, and with the community over 20 years, if she ever regretted her decision to retreat from the modern world. And yet this quest for ecclesiastical illumination doesn’t really go anywhere and Dooley comes across more as a film-maker on assignment rather than lost soul in search of salvation. This no slight on her: to be self-assured and essentially at peace with the world is not yet a sin (though certain corners of Irish Twitter would probably disagree).

TV star Stacey Dooley threw herself into the life of a nun at St Hilda's Priory in Whitby in her latest documentary.

"I can't stand here and say that putting a dishwasher on can make me feel closer to God because I just feel like 'Oh, it's such a laborious task'. But I think I understand what they're saying. It can be just simply existing and being here." "What are the challenges of living within the strict confines of a convent, where the women have taken vows of poverty, obedience and celibacy?"
