Stacey Dooley slammed by fans as Lily Phillips stars in her new TV series
OnlyFans star Lily Phillips will star in the first episode of the sixth season of Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over - and some fans of the TV presenter have expressed their disappointment 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." The Mirror has contacted Stacey Dooley's representative for comment.

Katherine Ryan pregnant with fourth child as she shows off growing bump
The comedian is expecting her third baby with husband Bobby Kootstra, a spokesperson confirmed. Katherine Ryan has confirmed she's pregnant with her fourth child. The comedian is already mum to Violet, 15, three-year-old son Fred and Fenna, two. Katherine shares her youngest kids with childhood sweetheart Bobby Kootstra, who she reconnected with during filming for BBC's Who Do You Think You Are. Fans started becoming convinced the funny woman, 41, was expecting again after some hints on Violet's TikTok last week and on Monday this week, she attended an event in London and couldn't hide a burgeoning baby bump. The Canadian star looked glowing as she stunned in a tight dress which showed off all her curves - and bump - as she took to the red carpet for the Ageing and Biohacking: The Science of Immortality event at SXSW in the capital. She then took to the stage to give a speech, as writes the Mirror. The happy health news comes just months after the star revealed that she had been diagnosed with a cancerous mole on her arm after previously having melanoma when she was younger. She said on her podcast: "The mole kept changing, I know a lot about melanoma, I had stage two melanoma as a very young woman - aged 21 - on my leg, I've spoken about that before. But even when he looked at it, he was like, 'it's not melanoma, it's totally fine, I will do a shave and send it away for testing'." Katherine pushed for medics to take a closer look despite being told she had nothing to worry about. Soon after the doctor reassured Katherine once more that it was likely not melanoma, she was called back with the confirmation that it was cancerous. The Netflix Duchess star has been open about her desire for a fourth child and spoke about her feelings on her fertility on her U&W show At Home With Katherine Ryan. She said: "It's not that surprising that over-40 women have fewer follicles than we once did. "But we talk a lot about male fertility as well, which is on a steep decline. But I would still like a fourth baby. We are so blessed to have the kids that we do have. Having children is not for everyone, but I personally really like making people. I think it's a superpower, if you can do it." Katherine and Bobby have suffered three miscarriages since he moved to the UK from Canada after they rekindled their teenage romance in 2018 when she returned to Canada to film Who Do You Think You Are? She previously raised Violet on her own after becoming a single mum at 25. She told OK! Magazine last year: "I'm old. I used to think I was going to be the babies' dad because I'm working but actually I'm like their grandmother. "My back hurts, sometimes I give them treats. I'm like a fun grandma." She went on: "We've always gotten pregnant with the babies quite quickly. I've been pregnant five times in five years, but that also means I've had three miscarriages in five years and the likelihood of that increases as you get older. "You have to find a balance between what you can personally stand and risks you're willing to take." Katherine has made it clear that surrogacy isn't for her. "It's controversial to say but I wouldn't want that labour – both literal and also the workload – to fall on another woman," she said. "I think surrogacy is wonderful. It's beautiful for people who are really eager to offer it and for couples who need it but for me, I think it would be exploitative." Katherine also spoke about how having children with Bobby has been different to when she was a single parent. "Now Bobby has come into the picture, the babies are here and everyone is well supported because we're a family unit," she explained. "I think arguably it's better for the children to have siblings and a dad at home, but Violet and I were really happy and I like to intensely love one thing or one person."
