Stacey Solomon lets rip after losing out to Rylan Clark and Rob Rinder at the BAFTAs as 'gutted' star fumes 'we were ROBBED' in rare uninhibited rant
Stacey Solomon furiously let rip in an online rant after losing out on a prize during Sunday night's 2025 BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises.
The 35-year-old presenter's BBC show Sort Your Life Out was nominated in the Factual Entertainment category but lost out to Rylan Clark and Rob Rinder's programme Grand Tour.
However, while she congratulated the winners, Stacey couldn't help but reveal how 'gutted' she was for her team who 'deserved' the award as she declared that they were 'robbed'.
In a rare uninhibited rant, the star - who also missed out on a solo gong for Entertainment Performance - took to her Instagram stories to share her devastation at the loss.
Dressed in a green Nike sweater and blue cycle shorts, Stacey watered her vegetable patch while expressing to her fans how she felt about the loss.
Stacey, who on Sunday dazzled in her repurposed wedding dress, fumed: '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!
Laughing at her reaction, she continued: 'I'm not handling it very well, I'm taking it very gracefully - I'm devastated! I'm devastated for our whole team, like I'm so gutted for our team.
'Everyone got dressed up and was really hopeful, 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 the BAFTA.
'The Sort Your Life Out team deserved 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 my whole Sort Your Life Out family because I feel like they deserved a BAFTA. I'm gonna say it - I'm gutted!'
Going on to reveal what it takes to make their show, she went on: 'We'll pack up a house and within seven days that house is packed up, into vans, over to a warehouse, laid out on the floor, we go through it meticulously, we make sure it doesn't just get chucked away. We donate, we recycle, we resell things. We put it all back and try and put it in systems to help families move forward...'
She also gave a shout out to the families who give up their time and open their homes to TV audiences, especially when they run the risk of being judged.
Waving her hose in the air, a fuming Stacey concluded: 'I'm gutted!' before praising her whole team and noting they planned to give it their all for series six.
Meanwhile, the wife of Joe Swash also made her feelings clear in the comments section of her co-star Dilly Carter's post.
Professional organizer Dilly penned a somewhat more gracious message after losing out on the prize, noting that she was chuffed to even be nominated.

Alongside a red carpet video, she said: 'Walking out, like we walked in, with our heads high and super proud of what we have achieved as a show, as a production. It's so easy in these moments to feel sad because we haven't won and forget about where we actually are. In a room full of incredible talent. But in the actual room.
'Some people dream of their show being nominated so for us to have been nominated twice is unreal. So let's celebrate the show and just how far it's come. It wasn't so long ago we were just filming a pilot. Huge congrats to @rylan and @robrinder. Thank you for all the love and support as always. Now let's get back to filming series 6.'
On Sunday, Stacey turned heads on the red carpet after she re-purposed her wedding dress for the ceremony.
The ceremony has been championing sustainability in recent years and as part of its pledge, guests are asked to wear something already in existence - from their own wardrobe or rented.
And as well as Vicky Pattison, Stacey used the occasion to bring out her most special garment for another outing.
Stacey took to her Instagram ahead of the ceremony to share a slew of snaps in her dazzling outfit, which she revealed had been made from her bridal gown from her wedding to Joe Swash in July 2022.
She showcased her tiny waist and toned legs in reworked dress, which had been altered into a fashion-forward playsuit, as she insisted wearing her wedding look only once 'feels like a travesty'.
Keeping the corseted bodice from the original dress, Stacey removed the off-the-shoulder sleeves and added dramatic pointed detailing to the neckline.
Meanwhile, the wife of Joe Swash also made her feelings clear in the comments section of her co-star Dilly Carter's somewhat more gracious post
While her skirt was changed into shorts, with a thigh-high slit cut into the sparkling skirt overlay, allowing a glimpse at her long legs underneath.
Revealing the sweet origin of her outfit, Stacey also explained why she decided to re- wear her special dress from her wedding day.
She wrote: 'I decided to have my wedding dress re worked for today because wearing it once feels like a travesty to me. I wanted to get her out of the box & take her out on another special day.
'Thank you @fayesawyerstylist & Issy for transforming my wedding dress into something so special & beautiful. I love you girls. Thank you penny for making me feel so beautiful as always. HERE WE GO! Fingers crossed'.
Meanwhile Vicky rewore one of her collection of dresses from her nuptials to Ercan Ramadan.
The 2025 BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises saw a slew of celebrities take home awards celebrating excellence in TV on Sunday, at the glitzy ceremony held in the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall.
Mr. Bates vs The Post Office led the big winners of the evening, scoring two more awards to add to the ground-breaking ITV show's ever-growing list of accolades.
However, it was the BBC who came out on top, scoring 17 wins in total after a year of triumphant programming, in the ceremony - presented this year by actor Alan Cumming.
While Netflix smash Baby Reindeer and the climactic Gavin & Stacey Christmas special also won key awards.
Widely expected to claim much of Sunday evening's spotlight, Mr. Bates vs The Post Office picked up an early award for Limited Drama.
Accepting the gong from Russell Tovey and Daniel Mays, producer Patrick Spencer said: 'We could only film this because Polly Hill at ITV saved us from getting cancelled and this story only had the impact it did because the people who watched it stood up as one and demanded action with such rage, that the government had no choice but to respond.

'Our show didn't change the law, the people of this nation did. They showed in their response to Mr. Bates vs The Post Office that our country cannot abide liars and bullies.'
He added: 'May it be a warning to those who are supposed to have our backs, that they better not abuse their power.
'When accepting this award, we would like to go on record that being trusted by the post-masters to tell their story has been the greatest privilege of our lives.'
ITV went on to claim a Special Award, presented by Baroness Floella Benjamin - for its work in commissioning Mr. Bates vs The Post Office.
Urging Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's Labour government to rush through arranged compensation payments for affected former postal employees, ITV boss Kevin Lygo said: 'Hurry up and pay these people what they are due.'
The night began with Jessica Gunning collecting the award for Best Actress after winning accolades for her portrayal of crazed stalker Martha in Richard Gatt's hugely successful Netflix drama Baby Reindeer.
Danny Dyer then forced the BBC to do some quick editing, after he let slip several swear words during his acceptance speech for best Male Performance in a Comedy.
The actor, 47, won his first BAFTA for his role as Lee in Mr. Bigstuff, and allowed his excitement to get the better of him in his typically expletive-laden speech.
After first saying: 'F***ing hell, I'm choked up', the EastEnders star then shared a sweet and hilarious tribute to Mr. Bigstuff writer and his co-star Ryan Sampson, which led him to turning the air blue once more.
Danny said: 'But I got to dedicate this to Ryan Sampson. One of the greatest things to come out of Rotherham. Which is not saying much.
'But one of the best actors this country's ever produced, I'm telling you. Never done the same thing twice. Which is not something I can say.
'He wrote this part for me, so you know... I'm getting choked up again, f**k me. So you won this for me mate, I really appreciate it, thank you so much.'
He finished by addressing his two daughters Dani, 28, and Sunnie, 18, who were sat in the audience and took the opportunity to swear one last time, declaing: 'Girls, Sunnie and Dani. I've done it girls, I've f***ing done it!'
However, the BBC were less than impressed by the star breaking the watershed, with host Alan being forced to say: 'I've been asked to apologise for the naughty language there.'
And when the moment was aired just an hour later, the broadcaster made sure to trim down Danny's speech and cut out all of his curses.
Alan later accidentally let slip a swear word of his own, while presenting the prestigious BAFTA Fellowship award to journalist Kirsty Wark.
The Scottish star suffered an unfortunate blunder by mistakenly introducing the award as the 'b*****d fellowship', and upon realising his error, the mortified actor let loose yet another swear, as he sheepishly muttered: 'Oh f*** me!'
The Fellowship is the highest accolade bestowed by BAFTA upon an individual in recognition of an outstanding and exceptional contribution to film, games or television.

Forgotten Married At First Sight groom reemerges for the first time in years after his TV bride Belinda Vickers announced real-life engagement
Former Married At First Sight groom Patrick Dwyer has resurfaced with a striking new look after retreating from the spotlight for years. The reality star, who appeared on season eight of the hit Channel Nine dating show in 2021, was spotted on Instagram this week looking barely recognisable as he enjoyed a summer holiday in the UK. Taking to his Stories on Thursday, the personal trainer shared a sunburnt selfie alongside the caption: 'Of course I would get burnt in the UK.' Fans were quick to notice that Patrick, who once sported a geeky hairstyle and shy demeanour on the show, looks worlds away from his MAFS persona. He now has more rugged style, sporting a short quiff and well-groomed facial hair. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. His surprise return to social media comes after his TV bride Belinda Vickers made headlines by announcing her real-life engagement to wealthy businessman Hayden Burbank. Patrick and Belinda were a quirky fan favourite during their time on MAFS. Viewers still remember one of the more memorable scenes from Intimacy Week where Patrick prepared a bubble bath to help build a physical connection with his shy bride. What started as a romantic gesture quickly turned awkward when Patrick began massaging Belinda's feet in the tub. 'Maybe I'll give you a little foot massage,' he said as he rubbed her toes, before complimenting her pedicure: 'Oh, I love your feet. Very clean, I like the little pink toenails you've got on you.' Following his stint on the show, Patrick quietly faded from the public eye, switching his social media accounts to private and steering clear of reality TV circles. But he didn't disappear without making a few changes – including a dramatic $28,000 dental makeover courtesy of celebrity dentist Dr Deepan Duraisamy, better known as Dr Dee. Patrick received 12 of the dentist's famous Picasso Porcelain Veneers and told Daily Mail Australia at the time, 'I didn't realise how bad my teeth were until I saw them on TV.' Meanwhile, Belinda told Daily Mail Australia that she will be walking down the aisle for real next year with wealthy businessman Hayden Burbank He opted for a natural-looking set of teeth to suit his new image, and before-and-after photos showed just how much the transformation boosted his confidence. Meanwhile, Belinda told Daily Mail Australia that she will be walking down the aisle for real next year. The couple celebrated their engagement at a lavish party in Melbourne back in April. They both shared a series of photos to social media as they danced and posed with friends and family at the private party. Guests were treated to an array of cocktails while violinists played music at the lavish home. The pair announced their engagement back in February last year, telling Daily Mail Australia that Hayden's unique Valentine's Day proposal included a treasure hunt at the Botanical Gardens. Hayden, who is the former owner of swanky Melbourne hotspot Morris Jones, added his proposal caught the attention of the public, who burst into applause after Belinda said yes and accepted his dazzling engagement ring.

I had my fourth child at 43 & now I'm 51 – people think I had my child too old & I disagree but there IS a cut off point
A MUM who welcomed her fourth child at the age of 43 has reignited the debate on how old is too old to have children. Natalie Heptinstall, 51, from Doncaster, has previously faced criticism for being an older mum, with trolls branding her 'incredibly selfish' and even claiming her child would grow up to be a 'monster'. Despite the negativity, Natalie continues to advocate for the benefits of being an older parent, sharing her experiences with her followers on TikTok under the handle @ natalie_heptinstall. Natalie, whose eldest child is 26 and youngest is nearly seven, recently took to her TikTok page to open up about the double standards surrounding older parents. She questioned why men aren't scrutinised in the same way as women when it comes to having children later in life. Reflecting on her own journey, Natalie said: 'I had my last child at 43, and it was a really positive experience. "I'm a huge advocate for speaking positively about the benefits of being an older parent, but I definitely feel there's a cut-off point.' Recently, Natalie shared her thoughts on Amanda Byram, the former Total Wipeout host, who gave birth to her first child at the age of 51. Natalie explained that there's "definitely a cut-off point" when it comes to people saying 'Oh, congratulations, good luck,' and others being "horrified and judgemental" for having a baby at specific age. She also highlighted the disparity in how society views older fathers versus older mothers. Natalie explained that "nobody bats an eyelid" if a man is 50 plus and having a child, and male celebrities who father children in their later year are "rarely questioned." She added: 'Meanwhile, with Amanda, the entire article focused on her age, and her husband's age wasn't even mentioned.' I have a 3-year-old & I don't think kids are worth it - trolls call me a 'bad mum' but I want to warn other women Natalie expressed frustration at the lack of progress in attitudes towards older mothers, asking her followers, 'How old is too old to have a child? What are your thoughts?' In the caption section, Natalie she also explained that she is a "huge advocate" for speaking positively about the benefits of being an older parent, but she " definitely feels there's a cut-off point." Natalie's TikTok video went viral within 24 hours gaining one million views and 3,483 comments. It sparked a range of responses, with many rushing to share their thoughts and start a debate. One wrote: "It's not fair on the child having an old parent." While a second added: "I personally don't think it's fair on a child." 2 But someone else said: "My mum had me at 32. "I remember how embarrassed I used be that my mum was much older than the other mums. "She must only been 40 at the time but to me it was old." However, another added: "I find some comments awful, you could have a child at 25 and die at 28, or have one at 49 and live until your 90... life isn't guaranteed." And one TikToker said: "A friend of mine passed away age 29, leaving a child behind. You can die at any time. "It is usual for a woman in the UK to die in her eighties now, so a 51-year-old baby should be an adult when they pass." Here's why I love being a young mum Tracy Kiss, who fell pregnant at 19, has revealed what she believes are the pros of being a young mother. The personal trainer and blogger, from Buckinghamshire, believes women who give birth in their teens make BETTER mothers than those in their 30s. She claims young mums snap back into shape quicker, have more energy and relate more easily to their children, meaning they're better behaved and happier. Tracy told Fabulous: "Women who become first-time mums in their teens make better parents than those in their 30s or 40s. "I believe if I'd been 10 or so years older before becoming a mother then I wouldn't have the relationship I have with my children now. "For a start, being older I would have had less energy and therefore less patience. "I wouldn't be as enthusiastic to speak to people after months of sleepless nights as I was in my teens. "My body snapped back to its pre-pregnancy size through fitness post-birth, which in turn gave me the confidence to date and find love again. I've never been happier than I am now at the age of 30 with two children. "If I'd have been alone at 40 with a newborn baby I'd be more tired, less happy with my body, less energetic and far more stressed from the shock of living my life for myself instead of putting others first. Sometimes age and the innocence of ignorance is a good thing. "As a teen mum I just got on with it, found my feet and became responsible and capable because at the time I didn't know any different."

Scarlett Moffatt reveals her beauty ‘tip of the year' – it only cost a pound and is a game changer to her makeup routine
KEEPING your makeup organised can sometimes be a bit of a struggle, especially when it comes to lip liners, eyeliners, and other small items. Scarlett Moffatt has shared a simple and affordable hack that she's been using for years, and it's perfect for anyone looking to tidy up their beauty stash. 3 3 In a recent video shared on her TikTok page, the Gogglebox star explained: 'So I thought everyone knew this tip. "If you have a lot of lip liners, eyeliners, or whatever – this is not an ad, I just think it's a really handy tip. "I've done this since uni, so gosh, 15 years ago, no longer than that… oh, I'm so old!' Her trick? Using a pencil holder to keep everything organised. Scarlett continued: 'It was getting to the point where I was like, right, I'm not being funny, but which lip liner is which? "So I have all my reds on one side and all my nudes on the other.' She encouraged her followers to give it a go, saying: 'Let us know if you decide to do it or if you know any good makeup storage tips. "Let's not gatekeep – this is a place of love, so let's share the love!' Scarlett's easy hack is a great way to keep your makeup tidy without spending a fortune – and it's ideal for finding what you need without any hassle. Scarlett's video gained 80.9k views and 94 comments after 24 hours of the video being shared. Muireann O'Connell wears daring lipstick on air One beauty fan wrote: "I don't have a lot of lip liners now but I will have once I've bought that pencil case to put them in." A second added: "I don't usually have a lot but have been trying to be more adventurous with my liners and need to organise them now so great tip idea thank you." While a third commented: "This just saved me so much time, effort and puzzle piecing! "I'm clearing out my makeup drawer as we speak! Thank you." 3 Top 3 beauty products every woman should be using Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook shared the holy-grail products every woman needs to be using. A cleanser, SPF, and hair oil are must-haves within beauty routines. A cleanser is crucial for healthy skin as it removes dirt, oil, and other impurities for flawless skin. This skincare step not only cleanses the face and removes dirt, but also prevents breakouts and premature skin ageing, helping you maintain a healthy, youthful, and blemish-free complexion. The Aveeno Face Calm+ Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser is a go-to of mine due to its gentle formula that soothes and restores the skin's appearance and texture. SPF is non-negotiable and should be in everyone's daily skincare routine. Even on cooler, cloudier days, our skin is exposed to the sun's UV rays which can be harmful to unprotected skin and even lead to damage. These damages include sunburn, pigmentation changes, and wrinkles which can impact the skin's texture and appearance. In some cases, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin cancer. Applying SPF daily prevents these damages and protects the skin from harmful rays. I recommend the Beauty Of Joseon Rice & Prebiotic Sunscreen PA++++ SPF50+ for its lightweight, non-clumping texture that absorbs quickly for a natural finish and maximum protection. Hair oil has many benefits and should be regularly used. This treatment can strengthen and protect the hair from external stressors while improving its appearance and shine. Regularly applying hair oil can also reduce breakage and even encourage hair growth for longer, fuller locks. Hair oils also target the scalp, reducing dandruff and improving its health through exfoliation. I recommend using this deeply nourishing treatment a couple of times a week or more depending on the hair's moisture levels. The Hair Syrup Rapunzel Pre-Wash Oil Treatment is a nutrient-rich treatment that revitalises strands to promote a happy scalp and healthy-looking locks. Apply the syrup throughout damp hair before washing; massage from root to tip and allow the formula to penetrate strands before rinsing and styling.
