Stacey Dooley The Real Story

[DeeLicious]

Just read that she has a history of shoplifting: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7897417/stacey-dooleys-tragic-childhood/ I've never been comfortable with ex burglar Gino d'Acampo being on telly, nor was I with convicted murderer Leslie Grantham. Not a great example to young people, are they, or do you think everyone should be given a second chance?

I didn't know Stacey was a shoplifter nor that Gino was a burglar. I'm not sure that it should be publicised. If no one knows about their crimes they can't be held up as bad examples.

[Mamyalynne]

Speaking generally, people should be allowed second chances, whether in the public eye or not. I have, so why not them?

You don't have to like everyone, I didn't care for Leslie Grantham but not because of his past.

I think she's rather a good example to young people...from a difficult early life, look at how successful she's become.

Have you ever watched any of Stacey’s documentaries?
She appears to be a wonderful young woman.
Shame on you for this post

Young people starting out in life often make mistakes. It would be a poor state of affairs it a juvenile error acted like a ball and chain for the rest of their lives.

I think its harsh and judgemental in the extreme to write someone off onthe basis of their past and nothing else.

[thesshhh]

Certainly won’t stop the BBC continuing to push for her to win Strictly. TV seems to welcome people with a past. For example, despite their terrible disciplinary records, Robbie Savage and Joey Barton get more telly work than most ex footballers. Maybe producers think it makes them characters, and I guess there’s something to be said for that.

Stephen Fry and Johnnie Vaughan have both been inside for their crimes, but have managed to move on.

To Stacey's credit she has been honest about her teenage years.

none of my business what people do or have done ,don’t watch much telly but there are a few judges on different shows who with the threat of jail might become less unbearable shall we say . Only joking I love em all really .

[Baldric]

Well someone likes her, she does have a MBE.

>>>Stephen Fry

He stole money from a pensioners handbag (family member)

He also stole a credit card and went on a spending spree.

All this was in his autobiography so he freely admits it.

I shoplifted from Woolie's once when I was a kid. It didn't lead me in to a life of crime nor in to life on tv.
Maybe I caused Woolie's downfall :(

[hc4361]

It was a pink shrimp from the pick and mix, if you're wondering

[Hopkirk]

Leslie Grantham (Dirty Den)did time for murder.

[Baldric]

So he did the crime and then did the time?

[weecalf]

Some of the acting on leastenders and boranation is criminal Lol

[hc4361]

He certainly did, Baldric, he served 10 years

[NellieMay]

I don't give a jot about her past, but must admit to finding her documentaries quite irritating with all that sickly sweet false emotion. And her voice is like a knife scraping a plate. I can't see her appeal, but obviously others do.

[kvalidir]

I don't think there are many of us who have never done something they regret, some of those things are criminal and some of them moral, some people free themselves from it by being honest, others hide it away still ashamed, perhaps sometimes of things they shouldn't be. Everyone deserves a second chance for the most part (unless of course they are a dangerous threat to society still).
