Stacey Dooley is set to host three new BBC documentaries.
The 39-year-old TV star will host Death in the Barracks, Fallen Women, and Down the K-Hole for the BBC.
Stacey said: "Each one of these documentaries explores difficult, often overlooked issues, from the deaths of women where crucial questions remain, to the growing impact of ketamine use, and for some, the devastating reality faced by those living in military barracks.
"They are going to be some of the most challenging, and important films I’ve worked on here in the UK, I’m sure. The access we have been afforded to meet those affected, to hear their stories and try to understand the broader picture feels like an enormous responsibility and one that isn’t lost on me.
"I would like to thank everyone who has agreed to contribute. And I hope all three films encourage thoughtful conversations."
Death in the Barracks will see Stacey explore the events leading up to the death of Royal Artillery Gunner Jaysley Beck.
In Fallen Women, Stacey looks into a series of cases involving British women who died following falls from height.
Down the K-Hole sees Stacey spend five months in a Stockport rehabilitation unit, where she explores whether former users can beat their addiction.
Emma Loach, the interim head of commissioning of documentaries at the BBC, said: "We’re incredibly proud to be bringing this new run of films with Stacey to audiences. She has a rare ability to connect with people and tell complex, often uncomfortable stories with warmth, clarity and real humanity.
"Across these documentaries, Stacey draws attention to urgent and deeply troubling issues here in the UK, creating space for voices and experiences that are too often unheard. These are powerful, intimate films that reflect the very best of British storytelling.
"We’re hugely grateful to all those who have shared their personal stories with us for their openness and courage."
All three documentaries will air on BBC Three and iPlayer.
