Stacey Dooley's fans have stuck up for the 2018 Strictly champion after she received some criticism about her new job.

The star is set to present a new BBC series called This is MY House.

The show will see four different people walk into a home and pronounce it their own, before a celebrity panel tries to work out who really lives there.

"I got the same criticism doing Strictly and Glow up. I did well on Strictly and Glow up went on to be a global series, that was recommissioned and Netflix took."

She signed off her tweet by writing: "I don’t know why this platform is so unkind".  

The 33-year-old's celebrity friends were quick to share their support for the star, however.

Kind-hearted This Morning presenter Alison Hammond wrote: "Ignore babs, I love ya and that’s all you need in your life."

Singer Alexandra Burke added an inspiring message of her own, which read: "Ignore it babe. You are amazing and deserve all of the positive things coming your way and more. Always supporting you my love xxx."
