A 'devastated' Stacey Solomon admitted she was not taking her BAFTA TV Award snub 'very gracefully' as she told fans: "We didn't win."
Sort Your Life Out presenter Stacey had been nominated in the Entertainment Performance category - but lost to Joe Lycett - while the BBC One show was up for a Factual Entertainment gong, which was won by Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour.
Taking to her Instagram account on Monday morning, the mum-of-five shared her heartbreak over losing out, the Mirror reports.

With a hosepipe in hand, she greeted fans from her garden and said: "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.
"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."
Stacey, who had her wedding dress tweaked for the occasion, added: "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."
Detailing how hard the Sort Your Life Out team work, she said they had just seven days to pack up an entire house into a warehouse before it's laid out on the floor to be 'meticulously' organised.
"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," she added.
"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 shaking the hose in frustration and laughing.
Stacey ended her videos by giving the cast and crew a shout-out, saying they were the "best people I know".
Returning to her morning gardening, she joked: "Rant over."

Hi-Land Fling: Dreaming big pays off at Lost Shore's first pro surf contest
The first pro surf contest to be held at Scotland's new artificial wave pool, the Hi-Land Fling showed the importance of a format that allows for creativity, writes Roger Cox Sign up to our Scotsman Rural News - A weekly of the Hay's Way tour of Scotland emailed direct to you.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... There's something a little bit Field of Dreams about the Lost Shore surf park at Ratho, just outside Edinburgh. In the 1989 movie, Kevin Costner's character Ray, a hard-up Iowa farmer, makes an apparently eccentric decision to turn one of his corn fields into a baseball diamond. Some question his logic, particularly when it starts to seem as if he might lose his farm, but his faith in the idea is validated when a posse of old-time baseball legends magically materialises and starts playing baseball on it, drawing spectators from miles around. Lauren Sandland, on her way to winning the Hi-Land Fling at Lost Shore | Alex Jeynes Photography/ In a similar vein, Andy Hadden's decision to transform a disused quarry into Europe's biggest inland surf resort may have left a few people outwith the surfing world scratching their heads when it opened last year, but it paid off in true Field of Dreams style this week, as some of the most progressive young surfers in the world arrived in town to take part in a new surf contest, the Hi-Land Fling Pro Surfing Invitational. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Among the top-drawer wave-sliders strutting their stuff in the pool on Monday and Tuesday were Arianne Torres, Lauren Sandland and Georgie-May Hicks, former Spanish Open, British Open and English U18 champions respectively, plus seven-time Irish champ Gearóid McDaid, former French surf champ Nicolas Paulet and US surfer Hunter Jones, whose aquatic abilities have seen him work as a surfing stunt double for the Netflix series Outerbanks. Also on the very exclusive 20-person guestlist: reigning Scottish champions Craig McLachlan and Phoebe Strachan, both already well acquainted with the perfectly sculpted contours of the various Lost Shore wave settings and looking to maximise their home advantage. Hunter Jones, competing at the Hi-Land Fling at Lost Shore | Alex Jeynes Photography/ The goal of the contest, according to Lost Shore's surf and hospitality director Lee Wood, was to create something 'to show just how far surfing can be pushed in our waves.' Rather than the usual format of a knockout contest, then, with two or three surfers going head-to-head in each heat, an innovative leaderboard format was devised which saw each athlete ride 16 waves in Round One, with the top-scoring six men and top scoring six women progressing to the finals. Checking out the action at the Hi-Land Fling | Alex Jeynes Photography What that meant in practice was that rather than playing safe in the early stages, competitors had to bust out their best moves from the get-go or risk not making the last six. McLachlan, originally from Thurso and now a surf coach at Lost Shore, showed the others how it was done, booking his place in the final by pulling off a dramatic one-two punch of tricky tube-ride followed by technical air to score a near-perfect 9.33 out of a possible ten. Scottish surfing champion Craig McLachlan, deep in the barrel at the Hi-Land Fling | Alex Jeynes Photography/ In the finals, competitors surfed four different wave types – barrelling waves breaking left and right and turns waves breaking left and right – with their best wave score from each wave type added together to make an overall total. It wasn't enough to just be a world-beater in right-hand barrels then – in order to win the Hi-Land Fling, you needed to be able to do everything well. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad In the men's final, there were only a couple of points separating Paulet and Conor Donegan dos Santos of Ireland by the end. Paulet actually bagged the highest men's right-hand barrel score of the day with an 8.77, but Donegan did marginally better on the turns waves, then put things beyond doubt with a 9.67 on a left-hand barrel to clinch the win. McDaid and McLachlan finished third and fourth respectively. Hi-Land Fling men's winner Conor Donegan dos Santos | Alex Jeynes Photography/ In the women's final, meanwhile, Sandland also left it late to defeat Hicks and Torres, posting an 8.97 on her final wave of the day, a barrelling right. 'I enjoyed this event so much,' Sandland said afterwards. 'I'm so happy to have won it on the last wave, too. It was really tight in the finals, so to get my best score at the very end was really special.' What did she think of the format? 'I definitely enjoyed it. It's a lot easier than in the ocean as you're not competing against other surfers trying to find and surf the best wave. Every wave is perfect which makes it so much fun as you can be more creative – try different manoeuvres or find a new line on the wave.' Lauren Sandland at the Hi-Land Fling | Alex Jeynes Photography/ That sense of creative opportunity – thanks to a format that encourages experimentation – is perhaps the key to the High-Land Fling's success. That said of course, a surf contest in a wave pool can only ever be as good as the waves on offer, and the exceptional quality of the waves at Lost Shore clearly doesn't hurt. By way of contrast, consider veteran surf scribe Matt Warshaw's report for Surfer magazine on World Inland Surfing Championships in Allentown, Pennsylvania, back in 1985, which saw some of the biggest names in surfing, including world champions Tom Curren and Tom Carrol, grovelling around in knee-high chop in what was then considered a state-of-the-art facility. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Lost Shore overview | Alex Jeynes Photography/ 'Each wave was a tissue-weak replica of the wave before it,' Warshaw writes. 'Pulsing forth out of a long metal grill at the end of the pool, 15 to a set, one wave every 2.5 seconds... Everybody rode exactly 10 waves per heat. Went frontside only. Two-paddle takeoff, a quick hit off the top, a second weaker hit, then grovel toward the shallow end. That was it; no other performance options were available. Sure, we laughed it off [but] really the whole thing was sad and demeaning. Everybody lost.' Clearly, wave pool surf contests have come a long way in 40 years - and the next chapter of the story is now being written at Lost Shore.

Squid Game season 3 review: a heart-wrenching journey — and a final twist
Every game comes to an end, the Squid Game series three trailer tells us. And so does every TV show. But not always a good one — there are still Lost fans arguing about what it all meant on Reddit and let's not dare poke the Game of Thrones bear again. Indeed, sometimes 'the end' of a show isn't even the end. If enough people watch it, the network just finds a way to keep going. And while I can't guarantee Netflix won't one day twist the arm of Hwang Dong-hyuk, the genius creator and director of the biggest show in the history of the streamer, to make more, I am happy to report this: after three seasons and more shootings, stabbings and more falls from a great height than you can shake a squid at, this series was worth watching to the very end.

Lewis Capaldi releases new song amid rumours of Glastonbury secret set
The 28-year-old last performed at Glastonbury in 2023 before taking a break citing anxiety and announced on New Year's Eve the same year that he planned to take a hiatus to focus on his health. He has released a new song titled Survive and alongside a video montage, with the song playing, he wrote on Instagram: 'It's been a while…'. Lewis Capaldi (Image: Martini) Last month, he performed on stage for the first time in two years at a charity gig in Edinburgh to raise funds for suicide prevention. Capaldi, from Bathgate, West Lothian, has Tourette's Syndrome and released his first album in 2019, with a second album following in 2023. On New Year's Eve in 2023, Capaldi said in a lengthy Instagram post that he would 'continue taking some time to carry on looking after myself' following the announcement he would take a break from touring after struggling with his voice during his Glastonbury Festival set earlier in the year. Capaldi explored how the pressures of fame have affected him mentally and physically in the Netflix documentary Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now which was released in April 2023. His critically-acclaimed 2019 debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent emerged as the biggest-selling UK album of both 2019 and 2020.

This year's Glastonbury line-up features a number of acts listed as TBA, with a Friday slot on the Pyramid Stage at 4.55pm speculated as one Capaldi could perform in, but this has not been confirmed. Also among the music stars rumoured to be performing a secret set at Glastonbury is New Zealand singer Lorde, whose fourth studio album, Virgin, has just been released.
