Stacey Dooley has been criticised by some fans after it was announced that Lily Phillips will be starring in the new season of her TV show.

The presenter’s show Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, which sees her spend 72 hours in the company of a wide range of characters and families, is returning for a sixth season. It will air on U and U&W later this year, with 23-year-old OnlyFans star Lily – known for having sex with 100 men in a day – starring in the first episode.

As part of the series, Stacey will meet Lily in her London home to learn more about her career and what the content creator does. As news of the new season was announced this week, Stacey, 38, said: “I’m thrilled to be back for another series of Sleeps Over!

“Truly, it’s such a loved format and people always remind me of their fave moments when I’m out and about. We’ve got another 3 episodes that you’re gonna love! The themes we touch on feel incredibly timely. As always, a sincere thank you to those families who agree to open their doors. Strap in!”

U&W director of programming Adam Collings added: “Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over has become a U&W audience favourite, no doubt due to the array of families and their stories, but of course Stacey being at the heart and gaining unprecedented access to their homes. Her warmth and compassion allow for a safe judgement-free environment, giving viewers an open and honest conversation, which is what makes this series so special.”

After news of the upcoming season was shared on social media, many fans congratulated Stacey, but others expressed their disappointment at the fact that Lily will be starring in it. One wrote on Instagram: “Pretty grim giving that deviant airtime, not a single positive thing can come from the trainwreck of her life, screams if the worst click bait, expected better tbh.”

Another said: “Really disappointing, just don’t think Stacey Dooley should be promoting or giving this girl a platform. Lowest derivative entertainment, a real regression in content from you Stacey.” Someone else joked: “If she is sleeping over at Lilly Phillips’ gaff I strongly suggest she gets the sheets fumigated!”

However, some people were more supportive with one saying: “Omg wow this will be so interesting!!!!” Someone else added: “Can’t wait. Love these shows x.”

Another praised Stacey for giving Lily a platform to talk about herself, writing: “This is so exciting! I was so touched by the documentary that came out about her and have been wanting to hear more about her. Stacey is the perfect person for this I absolutely love the compassionate and thoughtful way she covers sex workers.”
