‘I'M HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE!'

STACEY DOOLEY ON HER NEW SHOW NEW MATES AND WHY SHE’S SO HAPPY TO STILL BE WORKING WITH BBC THREE

- CHLOE ALEXANDROU

BBC Three is back on the box and the channel’s return wouldn’t be complete without a new show from its long-time presenter Stacey Dooley.

The 34-year-old – who has carved out a career for herself making cutting-edge documentaries with a girl-next-door presenting style – now hosts Hungry For It.

The new cooking competition gives 10 aspiring chefs from across the UK a chance to upskill and put their culinary talents to the test. The contestants will all live together during the competition and the winner will walk away with a life-changing prize to help them progress in a career in the food industry.

Joining Stacey at the helm will be TV cook and rapper Big Zuu and personal chef to the stars Kayla Greer. When we catch up with Stacey, she admits she’s “fallen in love” with Big Zuu, and believes audiences will do the same.

The star, who won Strictly Come Dancing in 2018 and is now in a relationship with her professional dance partner Kevin Clifton, 39, also speaks about how lucky she feels to still be working with BBC Three.
