Taking to Instagram to share some snaps from their break away, Stacey penned an emotional caption. Reflecting on spending two days with her son, she penned: "2 days with my Zach. Why are these the best pics ever? they make me so happy! Me & you Zachy." She went on: "We went Pokemon hunting yesterday & today, it's something we've done for years & have never been to a proper city Go Fest.

"BEST POKEMON TRIP EVER!" In the snaps, the mum and son pairing could be seen with Pokemon characters, standing by the Eiffel Tower and posing by other tourist attractions while sightseeing.

"Such special quality time with Zach , omg how tall he is," penned a third. A fourth then wrote: "I love everything about this. How bloody gorgeous. You have raised the most wonderful young man." While a fifth said: "He's growing in to such a handsome young man , he does you proud Stacey." 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. Back in April, mum-of-five Stacey was left clashing with her eldest child Zach after he had a party that went on until 4am. The scenes were aired as part of the opening episode of Stacey's BBC reality series which followed her family life with husband Joe Swash. In the episiode, Stacey could be heard screaming at Zach and his pals in his room as she bellowed: "Right, it's not cool and it's not clever. "I am happy you had a great time but the party is over!" They continued to row over the time with Zach insisting his 4am bedtime had prevented him from waking up any earlier. Stacey demanded that Zach take the bins out before "clearing up the bottom of the garden" from where he had his party. Things then turned up a gear as Stacey added: "Shall I let the boys [Zach's friends] know that they are ready for their chores too?" A fuming Zach spat back at his mum: "No! What are you doing - you're p***ing me off!" Stacey then lost her cool as she raged: "If you swear at me one more time Zach - no, I'm not joking. "No, just because there is people here doesn't mean I won't have that argument with you. "No, you won't do that!" Zach then replied that "no one cares" before walking off after the fiery confrontation. Stacey welcomed Zach at the age of 17 and before she found fame on The X Factor. 6 Zach is Stacey's first-born child Credit: Instagram

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom ‘pretty much done' as split rumours swirl
Katy Perry may have taken a brief trip to outer space, but it seems her marriage to Orlando Bloom isn't written in the stars, after all. The couple, who have been engaged since 2019 and share a daughter, Daisy Dove, are reportedly facing increasing strain in their relationship. One source told People that the relationship has been deteriorating for some time and 'isn't looking good.' They added, 'They're pretty much done,' and suggested reconciliation may not be likely. The news comes as Perry, 40, is fully immersed in her Lifetimes world tour, currently performing in Australia. A second source told the publication that the singer is focused on her comeback and giving fans 'the best show,' describing her as happy and enjoying time with her daughter while sightseeing between performances.

However, the Lord of the Rings actor was in the crowd to support Perry during her 6-minute space flight in April, along with their daughter. Appearing in brief moments on screen during the coverage of the lunch, Daisy could be seen wearing a silver astronaut costume as she watched the spacecraft along with her father. Perry recently made a public reference to Bloom during a May concert, joking with a fan in the audience, 'If you keep on DM'ing my man, I'm going to have you removed.' In a video shared on social media, Katy is seen telling the man: 'Cute grin. I know why you're here.' Another fan in the crowd jumps in and tells Katy to 'get his a**'. 'Listen, if you keep DM'ing my man… Oh, Kyle? I know, I know. You've been doing it for months, ever since the [Play] residency,' she continued.

'If you keep on DM'ing my man, I'm going to have you removed. Seriously, get your own life.' More Trending After the fan attempted to hand her something, she added: 'I don't want it. I'm his. I said I'm his. Stay the f*** away.' The comment came as she introduced the song I'm His, He's Mine, suggesting that at least publicly, the relationship was still being acknowledged. The couple welcomed their daughter in 2020, a year after getting engaged. Despite the possible tension, both reportedly continue to share parenting duties, with Daisy accompanying Perry on tour. Perry recently sold out multiple shows in Mexico and Australia, adding extra dates due to demand. Got a story?
