She's a critically acclaimed journalist who's a favourite to win Strictly Come Dancing.

But life for Stacey Dooley, 31, hasn't always been easy, as her mum Diane revealed that her documentary-making daughter never reconciled with her late father before he passed away. 

Speaking to The Mirror in October, Diane, 51, claimed that Stacey's father left the poverty-stricken family home when she was just two years old.

Open: Stacey Dooley's, 31, mum Diane revealed that her documentary-making daughter never reconciled with her late father before he passed away

She said: 'He was only living with her and me until she was two and a half. It wasn't until she was nine that she saw him again.

'He came back for the occasional wedding or family occasion. When he tried to come back in her life in a more meaningful way when she was aged 13 it was too late for them to reconcile.'

'She was sad because it was a lost opportunity.' 

Diane also explained that Stacey's father passed away when she was in her early 20s, but by this point she had moved on, living a happy life with mum Diane and her new husband Norman.

Trying again: Stacey's mum continued: 'When he tried to come back in her life in a more meaningful way when she was aged 13 it was too late for them to reconcile'

Stacey also spoke about her relationship with dad in her new book On the Front Line with the Women Who Fight Back.

She said: 'My father had his demons; our relationship was difficult and fractured,' she wrote.

'But I don't ever think, poor me, I just feel blessed that I had my mother.... She went above and beyond to make up for the fact I didn't have two parents. I was very lucky.'

In fact, in her book, Stacey reveals that he mother preempted that he father wasn't going to be 'on the scene.'

Too late: Diane also explained that Stacey's father passed away when she was in her early 20s, but by this point she had moved on

She wrote: 'My mum sort of knew that was going to be the case, so I didn't take his name. That's why I'm Stacey Dooley - Dooley is my mother's name.' 

Meanwhile, Stacey Dooley was the first Strictly Come Dancing contestant to make Bruno Tonioli cry with her heartwrenching dance during Saturday night's live Musicals week.

Known for his bubbly personality and eccentric outbursts, an emotional Bruno wiped away tears as the 63-year-old broke down for the first time on the BBC show.

Speaking ...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
