Stacey Solomon 'confirms' TV future after Loose Women move sparked concern

by · Manchester Evening News

Stacey Solomon has seemingly confirmed her TV future after a recent move from Loose Women left fans concerned she'd left the show. The TV star is currently busy juggling a number of on and off screen projects as well as a family life with her husband Joe Swash and their children.

Stacey and former EastEnders star Joe, who tied the knot back in 2022, share three children together - Rex, five, Rose, three, and one-year-old Belle, while Stacey has two sons and Joe has one son - teenagers Zachary, Leighton and Harry - from previous relationships.

But it was last month that Stacey told fans that a 'few things have happened' with her family that led to her shock career announcement. She left her fans 'gutted' as she quit her huge job with In The Style for the sake of her family life.

When later asked why it was her last clothing collection with the onlien retailer as she answered questions and showed different pieces from the range as she modelled it herself from her Pickle Cottage home. "A few things have happened over this year and for us as a family it just feels right for me to let go and focus a bit more of myself on our family," she said.

Stacey continued at the time: "It won't just be In The Style, I have been re-thinking lots of things. I feel so lucky and grateful to have been able to live our what I can only describe as my wildest dreams, and that's such a huge privilege, one I'll never take for granted and certainly never forget. But it's time for a change and a new focus."

And only last week, the 35-year-old gave an insight into her relationship with Joe as their busy schedules sees them become 'passing ships' as they tried to commit to regular 'date night's.

But one of the jobs fans were concerned about Stacey dropping was that as a panellist on Loose Women. Fans will know that Stacey has been part of the popular chat show Loose Women since 2016. She has, however, made fewer appearances in recent years amid expanding her family.

But those who follow Stacey were recently left asking where she is after she was absent from a new picture celebrating the show's 25th anniversary. The panellists marked the big occasion by getting together for a gorgeous group portrait.

Panellists such as Janet Street-Porter, Nadia Sawalha and Katie Piper could be seen amongst the stars sporting sparkling outfits set against a silver backdrop in a new picture that was shared online.

Sharing the photo on Instagram, the Loose Women account which boasts more than 700k followers, wrote: "This September, Loose Women celebrates 25 years on TV! To mark the occasion, 18 panellists got together for a stunning Silver Jubilee photoshoot, and to share what the show means to them. Here the final image can be seen for the first time."

But fans quickly took to the comments section to ask where Stacey was. @claire_bear1607 wrote: "Where's Stacey Solomon," as @cj.m1981 responded: "came here to say this!," as @tracy22patterson wrote: "same," and @teresa_hibberd added: "me too?." One fan @paigew102 then asked: "Why is Ranvia in this picture and where is Stacey???," as @stacey.brown83 wrote: "Where’s Stacey? Xxx," and @stefcrob83 added: "No Stacey Solomon???."

But during a recent social media video in which she joined forced with Primark and showed off her 'haul' from the high-street retailer, Stacey pulled out a bright pink Christmas jumper. As she tried it on, she said: "I picked up a Christmas jumper... I thought it really cute. I love the red and pink.

"I think I'll do a pink and red Christmas this year... I always have to wear a Christmas jumper if I do a Christmas Loose Women so I thought this would be perfect for it."
