CELEBRITY LINE-UP REVEALED FOR SEVENTH SERIES OF STACEY DOOLEY SLEEPS OVER ON UKTV
Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over returns for a seventh series in 2027, with Stacey Dooley MBE getting exclusive access to the homes and lives of Kerry Katona, Lauryn Goodman and Yazmin Oukhellou. The hit series will premiere on free streaming service U.co.uk and U&W, following its success as U's second highest-viewed unscripted title of 2025.
For the first time, Stacey will spend time exclusively with celebrity households, discovering over 3 days who her hosts are beyond the headlines. Sharing their everyday routines and family life, she will explore their journeys into the spotlight, the highs and lows of public attention and what life looks like away from the cameras.
Produced by Firecracker Films, the three-part U&Original series will feature:
Kerry Katona - Kerry Katona’s turbulent and, at times, challenging love life has made headlines for decades. Could her latest romance with Paolo Margaglione finally be the happily ever after she’s always dreamed of? Stacey joins Kerry and her family to uncover how her dramatic past has impacted her life and that of her children, and what her future with Paolo could hold.
Lauryn Goodman - Lauryn Goodman’s family life has played out under an unrelenting media spotlight, with her every move scrutinised by the press and social media. Stacey joins Lauryn at home to get beyond the headlines and discover what life is really like when your private world becomes unwanted public property.
Yazmin Oukhellou - Yazmin left The Only Way Is Essex following the tragic death of her partner, Jake McLean, and embarked on a new life as an influencer. Yazmin has faced criticism for publicising her cosmetic surgery procedures, and Stacey discovers the challenges she faces as she reinvents herself.
Stacey Dooley said: “You might feel you know someone from what you’ve watched or read about them, but you learn so much more when you spend time together at home. Staying for three days gives us the chance to settle in, share the ordinary moments and have some really honest conversations. I’m looking forward to getting to know Kerry, Yazmin and Lauryn and hearing how they feel about the lives they’ve lived in the public eye.”
Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over has been commissioned by Emile Nawagamuwa, Commissioning Editor, with Helen Nightingale, Head of Factual and Factual Entertainment Commissioning, and ordered for U and U&W by Hilary Rosen, Commissioning Director. Executive producers are Tammy Hoyle and Hannah Wyatt.
The new series builds on the success of Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, which has taken viewers inside a fascinating range of households in the UK and US. Combining the award-winning documentary maker’s warmth and curiosity with frank conversations and intimate access, Stacey explores the lives behind the headlines, including a sixth-series episode with OnlyFans creator Lily Phillips.
Emile Nawagamuwa said: “'Returning for a seventh series after our best-performing series so far is an incredible achievement. It is a testament to Stacey’s enduring appeal as a documentarian, a concept with the capacity to continually reinvent itself, and the brilliant creative team at Firecracker, who consistently find new ways to surprise and enthral audiences. The appetite to follow Stacey into some of the most talked-about and fascinating households in Britain is only growing, and I am excited to see what Stacey makes of her next set of sleepovers.”
Tammy Hoyle, Creative Director, Firecracker Films added: "We are immensely proud to continue our fantastic creative collaboration with Stacey and UKTV on a new series that raises the bar yet again. It is an enormous privilege to be welcomed into the homes of these three intriguing, high-profile women. Their willingness to share their lives so openly speaks to their trust in and admiration for Stacey and offers a chance to see a side of them we’ve never seen before. Series seven promises to be irresistible viewing.”
The seventh series of Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over will air on U and U&W in 2027.
