Invited into the traditionally private Gypsy community, Stacey discovers the complex balancing act young women face growing up in one of Britain's most maligned ethnic minorities. In Bedfordshire she meets 23-year-old Chantelle, who prides herself in keeping with the 'old' Gypsy values her grandmother taught her and shares them on social media, where she has nearly 400,000 TikTok followers. In Lincolnshire, the reporter meets 18-year-old Serena, who is planning her wedding to her fiancé Marco. He is also from a Gypsy and Traveller community and Serena wouldn't have it any other way
