Two years ago, Stacey Dooley was working on the perfume counter at Luton Airport. Then she took part in the BBC3 series Blood, Sweat And T-Shirts which sent a group of fashion-conscious young Brits to work in India’s sweatshop garment industry.
Back home she reinvented herself as a campaigner and charity worker and producers invited her to front two more forays into the unethical, the unfair and the under-privileged.
Her natural reactions – a mixture of tears and outrage – are exactly what you’d expect. Stacey’s perfect for BBC3’s target audience: young, pretty, soft-hearted and intelligent but not swotty – even if the root of the problem runs too deep for her to untangle alone.
