I've always loved Stacey Solomon. But the bikini pics have led me to a startling realisation… and deep unease
I LOVE Stacey Solomon, I really do. I've known her since she was on The X Factor as an ambitious 20-year-old and felt for her when her latest reality show 'Stacey and Joe' was slammed - why, then, did the pics of her glorious curves this week hit me like a ton of bricks? Advertisement 6 Stacey Solomon wore an orange bikini while on holiday in Lake Como, Italy, this week Credit: BackGrid 6 The TV star looked healthy and carefree as she soaked up the sun on her break Credit: BackGrid 6 But Stacey was abused by vile trolls for showing off her natural body Credit: BackGrid As she posed in her orange bikini on holiday in Lake Como this week, she looked happy, healthy and carefree. Sadly the vile trolls unleashed a torrent of abuse on her with one cruelly saying "She's let herself go" while another added "Ozempic needed". Advertisement And as I absorbed the comments, it hit me how long it had been since I had seen a celebrity body that looked like my own. Recently it feels like on social media I am constantly bombarded with tiny toned bodies, perfect pert bums and impossibly flat stomachs. Even when I put down my phone it's on our TV screens as the new season of Love Island kicked off with girls in barely-there bikinis and not one belly roll in sight. It's quite a worrying trend and it's left me feeling uneasy that being thin is so back en vogue . I grew up in the era where pals lived by Kate Moss's mantra 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'. Advertisement Having struggled with my weight since my teens and having tried (and failed) to do every fad diet going, I've always felt inadequate. I was grateful for the rise of the body confident movement, and I totally embraced it. Finally I could feel comfortable in my own skin because celebrities like Adele, But over the last 12 months I've seen curvier (and actually not-so-curvy) celebs slim down at an accelerated rate with the rise of fat jabs. Everyone has the right to do what they want with their bodies and lose weight however they choose and there are certainly health benefits to slimming down. Advertisement Stacey Solomon looks incredible as she strips off to black bikini and jumps off a bridge in Italy But this new quick fix means our celebrities are smaller than ever and I think it's making people forget what real women look like. The cult of thin is back in such a big way and it's depressing for those who aren't getting on board and sacrificing themselves to weight loss injections in a bid to be a skinny minny. Stacey, who is a busy mum to Zachary, 17, Leighton, 12, Rex, five, Rose, three and two-year-old Belle, has never shied away from celebrating her 'mum bod'. Stacey's success is not determined by the size on her clothes label And it is refreshing to It makes me feel that it would be OK for me to get my body out this summer on holiday. Advertisement Two years ago, the 35-year-old, who is married to Joe Swash, revealed to her followers The average woman in the UK is a size 16 so while she is still smaller than most women, she is still being judged. The Loose Women star is also maintaining a healthy lifestyle, often working out in her newly built home gym where she aims to be strong not skinny. Standing in front of a mirror she said: 'I thought it was really important to come on here and say when I take the gym clothes off I look like this…' before pulling down her leggings down past her hips to show off unfiltered and non-photoshopped body. She added, '...Which is also really pretty and a really lovely body and I just feel like it's important to show that.'

Strong not skinny She's got a host of TV shows and successful brand deals and is even rumoured to be taking part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing. In a sea of size zero Stacey's success is not determined by the size on her label. I'm grateful, like many other women, that she prefers to give us an injection of her relatable and funny personality rather than injecting a weight loss drug into her body!
