A third posted: "The seriously smug family." One then added: "Annoying family." Yet others were happy for the Sort Your Life Out anchor, and encouraged her to relish her downtime. Stacey Solomon's career so far Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers' screens for over a decade. Let's take a look back at her career. The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the 'Girls' category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs. I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I'm A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I'm A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash - who'd won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff. Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019. Loose Women (2016 - present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012. Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants' living spaces after removing clutter. One posted: "Ah have the best time! You deserve it!! Lots of love." A second put: "Aww great family pics love," as a third gushed: "Have the best time." Stacey's dad was quick to capture the hotel in full glory, with huge outdoor dining spaces and sun loungers. The venue sits perched on a beach with crystal clear sands and an idyllic pier. Back in 2023, Stacey also visited the same venue and was again called out by some for "flaunting her wealth." Sadly, Stacey is often subject to mum shaming comments on social media. Previously, she was even called out for her daughter Belle's outfits. 6 6 6
