Stacey Dooley hits out in Instagram rant over ‘sinister’ photo claims on ...

Stacey Dooley, 32, hit back at a negative comment from one of her followers while filming her latest documentary in Nigeria this morning. The Strictly Come Dancing winner faced backlash when she posted a selfie with an African woman in view of her 728,000 Instagram followers this morning. One particularly frustrated Instagram user responded to the snap: “At least this black person is old enough to consent to being in a photo with you.” The critic’s comment comes after Stacey was accused of acting like a “white saviour” by MP David Lammy, 46, on Twitter earlier this year.

David’s criticism referenced the documentary filmmaker’s photo with a Ugandan child, which she posed for while working with Comic Relief in February.

In response, Stacey wrote: “I understand the wider conversation that people want to have, and I understand that some are saying they feel it’s a tired narrative... I get that.

“What is not okay is people making out like we were somehow sinister in our approach.”

Looking back to the controversy caused back in February, she continued: “‘She lied! She’s been exposed!’... It’s just completely untrue to suggest we didn’t ask for consent.

“We spent the day with his grandad. He has a working relationship with Comic Relief.”

The star then angrily added: “Also, people saying, ‘she’s not listening, she doesn’t wanna hear criticism’ is bull**** too.”
