Former Strictly Come Dancing champion and BBC presenter Stacey Dooley has ignited a lively debate among her fans after sharing a striking video of her disco-themed Christmas tree on Instagram. The festive tree, adorned with shimmering silver tinsel, oversized star-shaped baubles, and topped with a sparkling disco ball, has certainly caught the attention of her 1.2 million followers.
In her post, Stacey reminisced about her Strictly days: “It’s giving… Elstree. Guys, did I ever mention I did Strictly 100 yrs ago? The theme was ‘camp disco’ and of course @Marymaryflorals delivered AGAIN. Isn’t it so Angel Delight energy? Made up! Ta so much girls!” The tree’s base was also decorated with mini disco balls, adding to its flashy appeal.
The post quickly gained traction, amassing over 13,000 likes and sparking a flurry of comments. Fans were divided — some praised the unique and nostalgic design, with comments like “This is a Cousin It Lametta dream! I love it,” and “It’s giving 90s but extra. I love it.” Others admired the craftsmanship, thanking Marymaryflorals for the impressive arrangement.

However, not all responses were glowing. Some followers expressed confusion or dislike, with remarks such as “Is that a Christmas tree or a weapon of mass destruction?!” and “Sorry but that’s the worst Christmas tree I have ever seen.” The tree’s unconventional style clearly isn’t to everyone’s taste, leading to descriptions like “hideous” and “acquired taste.”
Beyond her festive tree flair, Stacey Dooley is well-known for her journalism and documentaries tackling social issues. Rising to fame in 2008 with Blood, Sweat and T-shirts, she has since presented shows like Glow Up and Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over. In 2018, she won Strictly Come Dancing alongside Kevin Clifton and was awarded an MBE for her broadcasting work. Stacey and Kevin share a daughter and continue their relationship, focusing on family life over marriage.
Whether adored or derided, Stacey’s disco Christmas tree has made a memorable statement, proving that her creative spirit shines just as brightly off the dance floor as it does on it.
