In a heartfelt revelation that has surprised fans and colleagues alike, Stacey Solomon has confirmed she's stepping away from her regular spot on ITV's Loose Women panel after five memorable years.
The beloved television personality, 34, made the emotional announcement during an Instagram Q&A session with her 5.9 million followers, explaining that the decision came after careful consideration about her work-life balance and future career direction.
A New Chapter Begins
"It just feels like the right time," Solomon shared with her characteristic honesty. "I've loved every minute of being part of the Loose Women family, but I'm excited to explore new opportunities and focus on projects that align with where I am in my life right now."
The mother-of-five revealed that her departure isn't immediate but will occur later this year, giving producers ample time to find her replacement on the popular daytime discussion show.
Expanding Horizons at the BBC
Solomon's decision coincides with the growing success of her BBC programme, Sort Your Life Out, which has become a breakout hit for the broadcaster. The organisational and lifestyle show perfectly showcases her relatable personality and practical approach to homemaking.
Industry insiders suggest this move allows Solomon to concentrate on developing more content for the BBC while managing her busy family life with husband Joe Swash and their children.
Emotional Farewell to the Loose Women Family
During her Instagram session, Solomon became visibly emotional when discussing her Loose Women colleagues. "The women on that show have become like sisters to me," she explained. "We've supported each other through everything - marriages, babies, difficult times - and that bond will never break."
She emphasised that her departure is amicable and that she leaves with nothing but fond memories and gratitude for the opportunity that helped establish her as a household name.
What's Next for the Multitalented Star?
With her Loose Women chapter closing, Solomon appears poised for even greater success. Her unique blend of authenticity and practical advice has resonated strongly with audiences, making her one of British television's most in-demand presenters.
Fans can expect to see more of Solomon's signature organisational content, family vlogging, and potentially new television projects that leverage her particular brand of relatable expertise.
