Stacey Solomon launches into rant over BAFTAs snub - 'I'm not taking it well'
Stacey Solomon revealed she was 'devastated' after losing out on a BAFTA TV Award for her BBC One show, Sort Your Life Out, as she went on a rant on social media
Stacey Solomon admitted she was 'devastated' after losing out on a BAFTA TV Award over the weekend. Stacey was nominated for Entertainment Performance for her show, Sort Your Life Out, and the BBC One show was nominated for Factual Entertainment but lost out to Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour.
The TV presenter returned to her social media this morning to share her heartbreak over losing out on an award. Rocking a Nike sweatshirt and blue shorts, the star shared an update while gardening, telling followers: "Good morning from the veg patch, about to do the morning water. We didn't win a BAFTA and I know I'm supposed to take it gracefully like a champ but I'll be honest I'm devastated."
She added: "I'm not handling it very well, I'm not taking it very gracefully. I'm devastated for our whole team like I'm so gutted for our team. Everyone got dressed up and were really hopeful because I think because they work so hard.
"It's not an easy show to make, Sort Your Life Out, and the team work so hard to make it happen and they so deserve a BAFTA. The Sort Your Life Out team deserve a BAFTA and I'm devastated.
I'm not saying that everyone else didn't deserve their BAFTAs, they absolutely did. People think making TV is really easy and it's not so everyone deserves recognition but I'm just gutted for the whole Sort Your Life Out family because I do feel like they deserve a BAFTA, I'm going to say. I'm gutted."
She went on to share the hard work involved in creating Sort Your Life Out. The team has seven days to pack up an entire house into a warehouse before it's laid out on the floor to be organised 'meticulously'.
"We make sure it doesn't get chucked away. We donate, we recycle, we resell things and put it all back and put in systems to help families move forwards," Stacey explained.
"The families give up so much to be on the show, they deserve that away. It's so hard to let someone into your house when you're going through a really difficult time and you know there's going to be people out there that will judge but you need the help also.
"The families just..." she added before showcasing her frustration by shaking the hose around before laughing.
Stacey gave a shoutout to the cast and crew of the show, telling them they're the "best people I know" before telling fans how proud she is to be part of the programme.
"Rant over," she joked in the caption as she returned to her morning gardening.
Along with the two Sort Your Life Out nominations, Loose Women - which has Stacey on as a panellist - was nominated for Daytime Award against Morning Live, Richard Osman's House of Games and Clive Myrie's Caribbean Adventure.

Daisy May Cooper shares her 'real name' in sweet social media post
In a post marking her son Benji's first birthday this week, Daisy May Cooper seemingly revealed that her legal surname is still the same as her ex-husband, Will Weston Daisy May Cooper has seemingly shared her real legal name as she posted a sweet throwback photo on social media. The actress and writer, who won the 2018 BAFTA TV Award for Best Female Comedy Performance for playing Kerry Mucklowe in the BBC Three series This Country, has always been known by the surname Cooper since rising to fame. However, in a post shared this week, she revealed that her surname is actually Weston. The photo, shared by Daisy on her Instagram Stories on Friday, is an image of her hospital visit on June 6, 2024, when she gave birth to her son Benji. She wrote: "1 year ago today at 03.04am we welcomed our baby boy into the world." In the snap, her full name is written as Daisy May Weston - the surname of her ex-husband, Will Weston. The pair married in The Cotswolds in September 2019 and they share to children to whom they are "both devoted parents". However, they decided to part ways in 2021 after the Covid-19 lockdown "shone a spotlight" on their marital difficulties. Daisy, 38, is now in a relationship with her new partner, Anthony Huggins, who is Benji's father. The couple met on dating app Hinge in December 2021 and welcomed their child a year ago. When her youngest son was born, Daisy announced the news via Instagram and detailed how the little one arrived earlier than planned, penning: "You came a bit earlier than we expected and gave me the worst post op constipation that I nearly had to phone the Samaritans but my god you are perfect. "I cannot thank @deliverysuitegrh enough. The way you looked after us through such a scary time was above and beyond." Daisy's pregnancy was announced in March last year when she and Anthony packed on PDA while shopping for baby clothes in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The couple held hands when they stepped out for a spot of shopping, with the actress' bump on full display in a figure-hugging all-black look. The pair could barely keep their hands off one another while making the most of the sunny weather, and Daisy was seen heartily laughing as they went about their day. At the time, a source said: "Daisy is pregnant and is really excited to become a mum for the third time with her new partner. The pair have been going strong, so the addition of a baby will only bring them closer together." Then earlier this year, the couple sparked engagement rumours after Daisy was spotted wearing a diamond rock on her ring finger. Speculation that Anthony had popped the question began in February when Daisy was promoting her BBC series Am I Being Unreasonable? on her Instagram Stories and referred to Anthony as her "fiancé" for the first time. In a clip, she jested that her "fit fiancé and baby daddy" would make an appearance on screen. It was reported at the beginning of the year that Daisy and Anthony were happily engaged and "over the moon" with the news after a secret proposal. A source told The Sun at the time: "Daisy and Anthony are madly in love with each other and are a success story for dating apps. Their relationship has gone from strength to strength and already have a baby boy together." In addition to son Benji, Daisy shares children Pip, five, and Jack, three, with her ex Will. After their break-up, Daisy admitted to The Times: "Will is amazing, an incredible, incredible dad - but fundamentally, there wasn't real love there, I don't think there ever was, really." She went on to reveal that the lockdown "shone a spotlight" on their marital difficulties" and that she needed to be by herself after the strains of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Welsh seaside town with cobbled streets and an ancient pub features in Death Valley
Welsh seaside town with cobbled streets and an ancient pub features in Death Valley Viewers of the show may have spotted this Vale of Glamorgan seaside town within the first few seconds of Death Valley's recent episode when a car drove through its streets as it headed to the church for a wedding Llantwit Major became the fictional town of Cwmishel in the latest episode of BBC's Death Valley (Image: BBC ) Llantwit Major has been transformed into the fictional town of Cwmishel for the third episode of Death Valley. Viewers of the show may have spotted the Vale of Glamorgan seaside town within the first few seconds of the latest episode as a car drove through its streets as it headed to the church for a wedding. In this week's episode, which aired on BBC One on Sunday, June 8, Janie (played by Gwyneth Keyworth) was tasked with solving the murder of best man Gethin Bennion the night before the wedding. Gethin's body was found in the graveyard of the church, which some may have spotted as the grounds of St Illtud's Church. And a bit later fans got to see inside the beautiful church. Some may say it is this church that put Llantwit Major on the map. Around the fifth century St Illtud established the oldest seat of Christian learning in Britain. Now the place is a charming little town with its cobbled streets, quaint shops, and eateries and is only a stone's throw away from the seaside. Article continues below Known in Welsh as Llanilltud Fawr this town is about a 40-minute drive from the Welsh capital and about a 25-minute drive from Barry. Its nearby Cwm Colhuw Beach (or Llantwit Major Beach) is the perfect place to go surfing or for a coastal walk. For a decent walk in the area start your journey at the beach car park before embarking on the path that offers spectacular views of the Bristol Channel, 12th-century castle, limestone crags, cliffs and caves hollowed out by the sea, before reaching the Nash Point Lighthouse. Janie (played by Gwyneth Keyworth) was tasked with solving the murder of best man Gethin Bennion the night before the wedding (Image: BBC ) This was in service for two centuries before it was one of the UK's last manned lighthouses to switch to an automatic operation. This walk, which is great to spot fossils, is also a circular walk and can take you back to Cwm Colhuw Beach. And after that walk you might be fancying a sit-down meal and there are plenty of options in this corner of Vale of Glamorgan. Rosedew Farm's Acorn Café is a popular venue. Tucked away on a farm this café is known for serving mouth-watering roast dinners. For the latest restaurant news and reviews sign up to our food and drink newsletter here. Diners can opt for roasted topside of beef, pork shoulder, turkey crown, lamb, or butternut squash, lentil, and almond Wellington with a selection of veggies, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, roast parsnips, and stuffing for a decent price.

In 2016 the town's beloved pub The Old Swan Inn underwent a drastic £40,000 makeover. The 12th-century pub is now home to a dedicated restaurant area so you can enjoy a hearty pub meal with your pint. The inn serves dishes such as a slow-cooked pork belly, vegan curry, and the classics including fish and chips and steaks making it the perfect spot that caters for anyone's appetite. Other places to dine or drink include The Old White Hart – the 18th-century pub on the aptly-named Wine Street – while its sister pub Tudor Tavern, just around the corner in Church Street, is just as old. If Italian and Mediterranean dishes are what you're looking for head over to Porto Due nestled in Pound Field. And for your cosy cafés you have Bakehouse in Commercial Street, Café Velo in Church Street, and The Cwtch Restaurant in East Street. And Llantwit Major would not be the town we know it as today without its array of shops. The Old Swan Inn, a 12th century pub in Llantwit Major For all things vintage, whether that be furniture, fashion, fabric, or even teddy bears and doll houses, Pretty Vintage Things is the ideal place for a touch of nostalgia. To find the perfect gift for a special someone Stwff-Stuff is the place to go, especially if you are looking for a Welsh gift. They have soaps, chocolates, jams and preserves, candles, vases, keyrings, ceramic tokes and much more and all were crafted here in Wales. Rio Fashions is the place to try on and buy female fashion and accessories from dresses to fascinators, hats, scarves, jackets, and cardigans. To grab your next book Nickleby's Bookstore in Pound Field has all kinds of new and second-hand literary choices.

Head over here for their brownies, sausage rolls, lemon drizzle cake, or any bake your heart desires.

How many episodes are in The Gold series 2? The Gold season 2 returns to the BBC The second series of The Gold is set to grace our screens tonight (June 8), marking the comeback of the factual drama that first aired in 2023, reports the Express. The initial series chronicled the real-life heist at the 1983 Brink's-Mat depot near Heathrow Airport, where a staggering £26 million worth of gold bullion, diamonds and cash were taken. The Brink's-Mat robbery was the largest bank heist of its time, involving a colourful cast of characters in executing the crime. For those needing a refresher, the entire first series is available to binge-watch on BBC iPlayer now. Series two follows the police investigation into recovering the stolen loot after it emerged that only half was retrieved and the rest seemed to disappear into thin air.

The Gold series 2 follows the second half of the stolen goods (Image: BBC ) "It has been a real thrill for me to see the scripts brought to life so brilliantly by our director Patrick Harkins, our fantastic cast, and our hard-working crews in the UK and Spain. "We are delighted with the results and look forward to the series launching later this year." Forsyth also gave insight into what viewers can expect from the upcoming season, noting that it will not only follow the trail of the remaining gold but also explore the "consequences" that befall various characters. Article continues below He further explained the decision to conclude the show after its second run: "I always saw The Gold as a two series show, following the two halves of the gold, so this will be the final series."
