Stacey Dooley's early life and childhood
Stacey was born and raised in Luton and left school at 15 before working in various retail positions. The presenter's biological father was not a part of her life – he had a drink problem, and left the family when Stacey was just two. He then passed away when Stacey was in her 20s, before the pair had the chance to reconcile.
However, Stacey has remained close to mum, Diana. She previously told the BBC: "My mum is my absolute hero. She's the most remarkable woman in my life. It was just me and her for a long time growing up."

Stacey with her mum, Di
Di previously opened up about Stacey's childhood and lack of relationship with her father to the Mirror. "He was only living with her and me until she was two and a half. It wasn't until she was nine that she saw him again. He came back for the occasional wedding or family occasion. When he tried to come back in her life in a more meaningful way when she was aged 13 it was too late for them to reconcile." Speaking about his death, Di added: "She was sad because it was a lost opportunity."
