Friday 12 February 2021 Six new families have been confirmed for the second series of Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, which is set to return to UKTVs premium entertainment channel, W, later this year. The first series of the UKTV Original, produced by Firecracker Films, aired in 2019 and became one of the channels most watched shows of the year, reaching over 1.3million adults across the six episodes.
The brand-new series sees Stacey explore more unseen areas of modern relationships and family life as she spends 72-hours as a house guest, learning all the routines and rituals that make each one so unique. Families for this series include:
Tradwife - Felipe and Lillian have created a home life that follows the extremely traditional lifestyle or tradlife. Putting her career ambitions to one side, Lillian has become part of a growing movement of tradwives - meaning she prefers to take a submissive role in her marriage to husband Felipe. As head of the household, Felipe is responsible for providing all the family income; while Lillians role is to be a 1950s-style housewife, cooking, cleaning, ironing, home-educating their two young children and deferring to the boss in all decisions.
Strictly Orthodox Jewish Family - Rabbi Mordechai and his American-born wife Blima are parents of nine children, aged between one and 16. As members of the Hasidic Jewish movement, Chabad, they live a strictly Orthodox Jewish lifestyle at home - adhering scrupulously to ancient rules covering everything from diet to marital relations. But theirs isnt an inward-looking or isolated life: Mordechai ministers to a congregation of 800 families across the community with various levels of observance.
Eco Warriors - Environmental campaigner and aristocrat Roc purchased the remote Hebridean island of Gometra 25 years ago and moved into a derelict house with his four children. Gometra has been his main residence ever since and he spends the majority of his time living there, alongside a handful of other people who live in the few other renovated cottages on the island.
Roc and his children are staunch environmentalists, rejecting mains electricity and most of the trappings of twenty-first century life. They chop their own firewood, grow their own food and wash all their clothes in a bucket. But Roc and three of his children - Blue, Savannah and Lazer - do sally out to the mainland. They make a 17-hour journey to London (involving an eight-mile walk, two ferries, two buses and three trains) to help lead the controversial Extinction Rebellion and HS2 campaigns.
Child Model - Professional model Keisha and Nigerian millionaire Kunle have two children together. Their youngest, Dior, is the epitome of a star of the future; forthright, articulate and bubbly. This young girl is following in her mothers footsteps and is already well on the way to becoming a successful model - a career path she first embarked on when she was still only three years old.
Living with Downs Syndrome - Welsh couple Dom and Kellie werent fully prepared for the challenges that they would face when their two sons, Lucus and Alexander, were diagnosed with Downs Syndrome and cerebral palsy respectively. Their eldest daughter, Isabella, used to get upset by how frustrated Lucus would become as he struggled to communicate, so she learned Makaton sign language, and it became part of the familys everyday life. 13-year-old Isabella and her brother have now become social media stars - as they share their relationship and teach Makaton to her 15 thousand YouTube subscribers.
The British Lion King - 29-year-old Reece has always loved animals and grew up surrounded by horses and domestic pets. But this didnt soften the shock to Reeces family four years ago when, right next to the family home in the quaint village of Strelley in Nottinghamshire, he installed a cage full of big cats. Since then, his collection of exotic and dangerous animals has only expanded, and his menagerie now includes two lions (Rocky and Rora), a puma (Rogue), 26 squirrel monkeys, two wallabies and a capybara.
The second series of Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over joins a stellar line up of UKTV Originals for W, including Emma Willis: Delivering Babies in 2020, also produced by Firecracker Films, and a brand-new series of Women on the Force, from Lambent Productions and Harbar8.
Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over returns to W later this year.
