Stacey Solomon's co-star says 'this could be our last series' in heartfelt plea

Stacey Solomon's co-star has urged her social media followers to apply for the new series of their BBC programme as releases national plea online
Fans of Stacey Solomon's hit decluttering show Sort Your Life Out have been urged to apply as one of the programme's stars hinted at its future.
The BBC series that has been winning hearts and tidying homes has been the subject of much speculation regarding whether it would get another run.

Since its launch in November 2021, the transformation programme, fronted by the 35-year-old star alongside a crack team of organisers and cleaners, has gathered a legion of fans, clinched a National Television Award, and elevated viewership figures significantly.

Despite five series worth of transformations, whispers about a potential sixth series have left many viewers restless with anticipation. Addressing this, Dilly Carter, a beloved face on the show known for her organising genius, suggested fans make some noise to support the show's return on the Beeb.
Taking to Instagram, Dilly stirred excitement with a throwback photo featuring her fellow crew members and a family benefitting from their life-sorting magic. She penned: "Sort Your Life Out series 1 bounced onto our screens in November 2021. Who remembers Steph and her gorgeous girls?"
"Fast forward to this week, May 2025 and we are about to start filming for series 6," reports Essex Live
Dilly highlighted: "The show has been streamed all over the world millions of times and in that time we have won 2 major TV awards, a @royaltelevisionsociety and a @officialntas and next Sunday we go to the @bafta for our second nomination."

While thanking supporters with a touching confession, Dilly said: "Who knows maybe this time we could win? Fingers crossed. The show goes from strength to strength and that's only possible because of YOU the viewer supporting it so THANK YOU.
"But this could be our last series if you don't apply. We need families of all shapes and sizes to apply.
"Do you need the declutter of a lifetime? Would you like us to be coming to your home to STRIP, SORT and SYSTEMISE? If so apply today. The link is in my bio. It will be the best decision you ever make to get back in control of your home."

Upon reading Dilly's plea, some fans shared their thoughts on how the show could evolve, with one suggesting: "Love the show and the life-changing impact. How about opening up to single people too? There are many living alone who find it even harder to get out of the mess they find themselves in and help hard to ask for."
Others recommended that the show consider revisiting households that have featured before.
Meanwhile, Stacey continues to juggle her packed schedule after she and her other half, Joe Swash, 43, gave viewers a sneak peek into their domestic life, to the delight of fans eager for a glimpse of the couple's interaction with their five kids at home.
Their programme, Stacey and Joe, which first aired in April, gives fans a peek into their daily lives - encompassing everything from work and parenting to friendships, family dynamics, holidays, and personal challenges. The series also delves into more profound topics like couples therapy and mental health, including Joe's ADHD diagnosis.

My mum worked with Biddy Baxter. Both women were formidable – and absolutely terrifying

David Attenborough's description of Biddy Baxter, when he presented her in 2013 with a special Bafta for her 25 years' work on Blue Peter, was easily the best: dedicated, passionate and pioneering. But since the producer has died, at 92, and other reminiscences have poured in, you can't help but notice how many of them are synonyms for 'scary'. 'Producer' and 'creator' describe Baxter's work on Blue Peter, but don't convey how totally and utterly everything was her idea: from Tony Hart to the Blue Peter badges, from the golden retrievers to the Blue Peter garden, from 'here's one we made earlier' to the charity appeals, she conjured it all, to make a cultural artefact that left no child untouched. If you ever received a Blue Peter badge, it's odds on you still have it – and, if it's a gold one, that you still talk about it. My mum worked on Blue Peter as a set designer, on and off, over the same period and was always using words such as 'formidable', 'uncompromising' and 'takes no prisoners' about Baxter. It made no sense to me as a kid, because my mum was terrifying at work. She revelled in how scary she was, how she could make fully grown carpenters quake with one eyebrow. How could there be two of them? Surely that would cause some kind of chemical reaction? Also, my mum didn't prize the 'feminine' traits of amiability and compliance, so why did she sound faintly critical when they were void in other women? They were different brands of scary: Baxter was stilettos-on-the-studio-floor scary; my mum was dungarees-and-cigs scary. Baxter kept presenters in their place by insisting the real stars were the Blue Peter pets, while the entire design department (if memory serves) acted like neither pets nor people held any meaning at all, compared with a scale model of an aquarium made of balsa wood and sticky-back plastic. But still, you would have expected maybe a trace of solidarity, a collective 'in fact, neither of us is frightening in any true sense, we're just professionals with strong views who happen to be women'. I didn't see any of that, which speaks to Attenborough's point about pioneers: if you're ever wearing stilettos at work and telling people what to do without striking terror into anyone, it's because Baxter and her ilk, from the 60s through the 80s, were the ones they made earlier.

Stacey Solomon's 'pretty and sophisticated' Rolex-inspired watch is finally back in stock The Aqua Moon and Back Belgravia 30 Watch has been a huge hit with fans of the Loose Women star and has been out of stock for a while now - but it's just been restocked The watch has finally been restocked (Image: Abbott Lyon) When Stacey Solomon initially launched her To the Moon and Back collection at Abbott Lyon, it was an immediate success, with many items selling out rapidly despite frequent restocks.

The stylish two-tone watch has been a hit with customers, as evidenced by its solid five-star rating.

It features a stainless steel silver and gold five-link chain bracelet strap, while the dial, a beautiful light blue shade, is made from aqua mother of pearl. Instead of numerical digits, the face showcases delicate moons and stars, each inlaid with a small sparkling gemstone. The dial surround and hands are finished in gold, providing a beautiful and luxurious contrast to the blue face, reports the Mirror. The Aqua Moon and Back Belgravia 30 Watch features a quartz Seiko movement renowned for its precise timekeeping. It boasts 3ATM water resistance, meaning it can handle splashes, light rain, and brief water contact – such as handwashing – though it shouldn't be worn whilst swimming or bathing.

Alternatively, Coeur De Lion's Watch Iconic Cube Ocean Vibes Statement Gold is now £139, down from £279, and is ideal for those wanting a more delicate, feminine timepiece.

First Match of the Day panel since Gary Lineker's BBC exit revealed

The first Match of the Day panel since Gary Lineker left the BBC has been revealed. Ex-England striker Lineker, 64, spent 26 years in the Match of the Day hotseat before leaving the BBC in May. The presenter announced last November that he would stop hosting the iconic football highlights show at the end of the Premier League season. Lineker was due to continue working with the BBC on their coverage of the FA Cup and next summer's World Cup but agreed to leave completely after apologising for sharing an antisemitic post on social media. The BBC have hired Mark Chapman, Gabby Logan and Kelly Cates as three new hosts of Match of the Day following Lineker's exit. In The Mixer: Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every week – sign up, it's an open goal. According to the Daily Telegraph, Chapman will be given responsibility to host the first Match of the Day programme without Lineker. They say that 'barring any last-minute hitches', Chapman will be joined by new star pundit Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer on the flagship show. The first Match of the Day of the season will be shown on Saturday night and include highlights of champions Liverpool's opening game against Bournemouth and Burnley's first game back in the top-flight. Chapman, Logan and Cates will share presenting duties across Match of the Day, which is shown on Saturday night, and Sunday night's Match of the Day 2. The BBC has signed Manchester United and England legend Rooney as a pundit on a two-year deal worth around £800,000. Despite Lineker's exit, Chapman does not expect a huge amount of change from Match of the Day going forwards. 'I know people keep saying, 'Oh, this will change, or that will change'. I genuinely don't think anything will change,' he said recently. 'It will still be showing all the highlights and having a little bit of a chat. So, if you're wanting a lot of change I suppose you're going to be a bit disappointed by it. 'I think we still do the same thing, and talk about football, and have a laugh and that'll be that.' More Trending Lineker held back tears as he signed off from his final edition of Match of the Day on the final day of last season's Premier League. 'It's been an absolute privilege to have hosted Match of the Day for a quarter of a century,' he said. 'It's been utterly joyous. Speaking directly into the camera to viewers at home, he added: 'And my final thank you goes to all of you. 'Thank you for watching, thank you for all your love and support over the years. It's been so special, and I'm sorry that your team was always on last.' For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
