Stacey Dooley is a remarkable woman. In just a few years she has gone from a job selling cosmetics in an airport duty free to creating hard-hitting documentaries for the BBC, via winning Strictly Come Dancing in 2018.

She doesn't often do interviews, so please take time to read what she has to say in a wide-ranging chat in this week's Radio Times.

I'm sure you'll agree that, however much we all enjoyed watching her dance, there is a very serious side to her work, especially in highlighting the ordeal that women face when they report cases of rape and serious sexual assault to the police.

This week's issue also contains a special envelope. It's one way you can make a donation to Comic Relief, which this year is celebrating 40 years of vital work supporting good causes at home and abroad.

RT readers have been extremely generous over the years and have given well over £100,000. Richard Curtis and Lenny Henry, the co-founders of Comic Relief, asked me at the recent Radio Times Covers Party to thank you very much for all your support over the years. Please give what you can.
