The Salford-born wife of Sports Direct executive David Forsey, Stacey says she did not join the Real Housewives of Cheshire for the money, Forsey says she's using the reality show as a platform for future projects and is currently working on her lifestyle website.
Forsey explains that in the beginning, she had concerns about joining the ITVBe reality series.
"I have never done anything like this before and to be honest I found the thought of doing a TV show quite daunting," Stacey told IBTimes UK. "I'm not an argumentative person and I shy away from confrontation, and while I am opinionated, I suppose I was worried about what I would be exposing myself to in front of the cameras."
Hinting she'd like to see the show open a few more doors for her rather than solidify more Cheshire-based 'friendships,' she added: "I look at this as an adventure, an experience and life is short so why not? This is my journey, so why not embrace such a fun platform as The Real Housewives of Cheshire?
"I am learning so much about the world of TV and I'm having a great time working on such a lively show. I also hope the show will open doors to new projects and opportunities that I can fit in around being a mother and a wife," she continued.
Forsey reveals who's she's the closest to from the show. "I would say I have grown closer to Leanne and I have got to know a different softer side to Ampika."
Forsey reveals her favorite Real Housewives from the show. "As a viewer, my favorite person would be either Seema or Tanya. Seema because she is such an inspiration to all us women, she works hard and we have the same family values and morals — I love her. And Tanya because she just makes everyone laugh, I love people who can make me laugh and smile!"
The mother-of-two has a passion for healthy cooking and art. Discussing her biggest passions, lifestyle and fitness, Stacey shares an insight into her daily regime, along with some beauty tips. As someone with many food intolerances, Stacey is well aware of what does and doesn't work for her.
"I am very into healthy eating and fitness. I have food intolerances to wheat, dairy, yeast, eggs and cashew nuts (nearly everything!), therefore I make lots of homemade organic food and juices," Stacey tells IBTimes UK.
"I go to Barrcore three times a week which is a mixture of ballet, yoga and Pilates. In between I have started to paint again which helps me unwind. I am always going on lots of dog walks and I am all about the fun family dinners, and I am always organizing a trip, break or dinner parties!"
Revealing some of her beauty tips, Stacey added: "I take very good care of the skin on my face but not so good on my body. I use a fantastic skin care called ZO. It's a product by Zein Obaji from LA it's a cleansing face wash, serum, exfoliate every 3 days and moisturize face and eyes.
"I always wear a sunscreen when I go out and Factor 50 on holiday, again only on face, neck and chest. I really need to take more care with the skin on my body though! I do exfoliate at home but should do it more! Also a good make-up artist and a great hairdresser always helps…something I'm lucky to have when filming!" she went on.
