Stacey Dooley once met the late Queen Elizabeth without wearing a bra and took some drastic measures to make sure she didn’t accidentally give her an eyeful
Stacey Dooley nearly exposed herself to Queen Elizabeth II.
The documentary filmmaker realised she wasn’t wearing a bra when she met up with the late monarch back in June 2013. Stacey attended Queen Elizabeth officially opened the new Broadcasting House in Central London when she almost flashed the country’s leading lady.
Just before the formal introduction the former Strictly star noticed that her sheer top left little to the imagination, so quickly zipped up her leather jacket to spare Lizzie an unwanted eyeful.
On Luke Hamnett’s latest Live Laugh Luke podcast Stacey recalled: “I did meet the Queen and she was opening the new BBC or whatever, there was sort of BBC talent just lining up: ‘Oh, nice to meet you, blah, blah, blah,’ but I didn’t have a bra on and I had a see-through cami, so I had to keep the leather jacket zipped right up.”

“I was so hot, I can’t tell you how warm I was. I was so hot, I just remember going: ‘I’m going to pass out.'”.
During the same podcast chat, Stacey also admitted she had a medical emergency whilst staying with Marie Buchan for two evenings while recording an upcoming instalment of her U and U+W series Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over.
Marie, 43, has earned the notorious title of Britain’s Benefits Queen after taking government handouts to fund an extravagant lifestyle while raising seven of her eight children at home.
During Stacey’s stay with Marie, her feline allergy was set off by a wandering kitty that kept sneaking into the house while cameras were rolling. Stacey remembered: “I really don’t like cats. The sleepover I was doing at Marie’s house, I was sleeping in the living room and there was a cat. It wasn’t even her cat.”
“It was just like a random cat kept jumping through the top of the window. You know, you get them little windows sometimes at the top of the patio doors. I’m not exaggerating. This is no top-up. It flew through the top of that window and kept landing on the sofa.
“I said: ‘My throat’s closing up. I won’t make it through the night, Warren,’ he was like: ‘Get out of here, get out of here,’ and he was dragging this poor cat. I don’t like cats!”
