The 31-year-old was the eighth celebrity announced for Strictly 2018.

Stacey was relatively unknown by some Strictly Come Dancing fans – but you're sure to remember her after this.

The investigate journalist made the frank admission that she defecated in a box while travelling in Asia on singer Jessie Ware's Table Manners podcast earlier this year.

Stacey travels a lot for her work, which is mainly an investigative series on BBC Three.

Stacey – who hails from Luton – often delves into social justice issues, including drug trafficking and underage sex slavery.

The redhead was asked to tell food stories from her travels and she explained that India was her favourite place to get grub, but she often leaves with an upset stomach.

Stacey then went on to share her most intimate toilet habits – and it was seriously grim.

"So I have this problem where if I need to go, I need to go," she revealed.

"And I've been caught short a couple of times while abroad."

Stacey confessed that she often tries to impress the locals with her culinary prowess, but finds herself desperate for the toilet afterwards.

She added: "I've had Indian women holding my hair while I was sicking and s***ting everywhere.

"And then, listen to this, when I was in Thailand, I told Joyce my Director: 'Joyce I'm f***ing desperate for the toilet,' I'd eaten some insect off of a sticks in the market.

"I said to Joyce, 'I really, really need the toilet' and she was like, 'We can't stop here.'

"And we're on, like, those freeways in Bangkok that have like 400 lanes, so I couldn't stop, the traffic was mental.

One of Stacey's friends then came to her rescue in the van.

She continued: "We had an icebox and I was like, 'Right can you just all put the music on really loud and don't turn around and we'll just never talk about this again.'

"I took all the cans of drink out of the ice bucket and I just s*** all in the ice box.

"And then I had this ice box full of s*** and I was just sitting in the car with the ice box with s*** on my lap.

"I couldn't throw it out because we were on the freeway and I had to empty it down the drain back at the hotel."

Taken back, Jessie replied: "Mate, I respect that. I thought p***ing in a bottle was impressive."

We're not sure if we'll ever look at Stacey the same again…

Luckily, Stacey won't be pirouetting on her own.

Susannah Constantine, Vick Hope, Danny John-Jules, Katie Piper, Ashley Roberts, Lee Ryan, Joe Sugg, Charles Venn, Dr Ranj Singh, Graeme Swann, Seann Walsh and Kate Silverton, will all compete for the coveted Glitterball trophy.

Strictly Come Dancing returns tomorrow night at 7:35pm on BBC1.
