4th - Stacey Dooley

She's sweetness and light whenever we see her, but Stacey Dooley has been branded a 'diva' by Strictly Come Dancing crew after ordering staff to buy her a new outfit even though all the shops were closed.

The 31-year-old BB3 star allegedly ignored instructions and turned up for an appearance on Chris Evans' breakfast show in a tracksuit - while fellow contestants Ashley Roberts, 37, and Faye Tozer, 43, wore glam clothes as advised.

Embarassed, Stacey then made the outlandish demand - much to the shock of the production crew.

Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan is also back on the dancefloor. He last took part on the show in 2012.

A TV source told The Sun, “Stacey turned up for an appearance on Chris Evans’ Breakfast Show at eight in the morning but hadn’t brought anything glamorous to wear as asked by bosses.

“She ordered staff go out and buy her an outfit but nothing was open that early so she had to go on stage after the radio appearance in her tracksuit.”

The reports come amid rumours of Stacey's bad behaviour backstage, leading to staff falling "out of love" with the TV star.

They added, “Over the past few weeks Stacey has been quite difficult and it has resulted in crew being put off her.

“Some of them are quite glad that this weekend will be the last time they have to work with her."

Strictly seems to have caused drama in Stacey's personal life too. It was reported that her boyfriend Sam Tucknott, 31, is jealous of her spending time with her dance partner Kevin Clifton.

Hopefully Sam's jealousy won't last much longer, as the final is on BBC1 tonight at 6.30pm.

Stacey is favourite to win, so hopefully all her hard work, 'diva' behaviour and relationship drama pays off!
