Stacey Dooley has been criticised by fans for featuring OnlyFans star Lily Phillips on the upcoming series of her show Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over.
The TV presenter, 38, will be spending 72 hours with the controversial porn performer, 23, who attracted global attention when she had sex with 100 men in a day and filmed it for her OnlyFans.
The show will air on U&W, with the channel sharing a photo of Stacey and Lily together on Instagram to promote the series.
But the decision to feature Lily has not gone down well with some of Stacey's fans who said the presenter should not give the adult film star 'a platform'.
One unimpressed user wrote: '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 wrote: '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 Stacey.
Another added: 'If she is sleeping over at Lily Phillips' gaff I strongly sugggest she getrs the sheets fumegated.'
One wrote: 'I'm just losing my conviction towards Stacey's content and the authenticity of her views... is it just documentary clickbait?'
Others were more positive about the upcoming episode, saying: 'Oh wow this will be so interesting,' and that they 'can't wait to watch'.
MailOnline has contacted a representative of Stacey Dooley for comment.
Lily, from Derbyshire, previously said she started 'sleeping around' which prompted her to launch her OnlyFans feed in 2020, when she was not able to attend any lectures because of the pandemic.
She said: 'I was sort of selling sex to guys on my nights out without making any money, so I thought I might as well charge for it.'
The decision to feature Lily has not gone down well with some of Stacey's fans who said the presenter should not give the adult film star 'a platform'.
She added: 'I was at university and already being such a 'sluzza'so I thought, why don't I try OnlyFans and make a bit of money on the side?'
Lily appeared on the Getting There podcast with Brogan Garrit-Smith to discuss how her life has changed in the media spotlight and the moral complexities surrounding OnlyFans and other adult content platforms.
Speaking to Brogan, Lily revealed she initially earned $20,000 in her first month on the site and would regularly rake in $26,000 or more each month for the first year.
However, she refused to disclose how much she currently earns as she doesn't want to mislead other young women into also joining the adult industry.
'I don't ever want to encourage young girls into doing this business [OnlyFans] because they think it's really quick, easy money,' she said.
'I try to stay away from that side. Everyone's going 'oh I earned $43 million last year on OnlyFans.' Of course, all the young girls are going, 'well, why the f*** am I not doing that.'
'I really, really try to be honest and open about the realities of this industry. I try to stay away from that personally in my own consciousness. I don't want to be braggy.'
With the money she's earned, Lily is saving to buy a house and has also invested some of her lavish income, admitting: 'I could stop now and I'd be happy.'
'Things just get more expensive the more you earn, you do need more staff,' she added. 'I put it back into the business.'
Admitting she feels responsibility for 'glamorizing' her life, she said she hopes to be 'honest and open' about the reality of a life on OnlyFans.
She added: 'Everyone who knows you will think about you so much differently once you start doing OnlyFans.
'Even though you were probably doing this behind closed doors without cameras and without putting it on the internet. Now they just have this perception of you that you didn't have before.'
