Stacey Solomon Reveals X Factor Trauma, Says She Won't Perform Again

Stacey Solomon has revealed she will never sing again, 15 years after her breakout performance on The X Factor. The 34-year-old star, who finished third in the 2009 series, said she finds singing for a job too nerve-racking and prefers her current role as a television presenter.

Solomon, who was mentored by Dannii Minogue on the show, shot to fame with her rendition of 'What A Wonderful World'. She went on to win I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and now hosts the popular BBC series Sort Your Life Out. 'I love singing but I don't love it as a job,' she admitted. 'I find it so nerve-racking to do it for a job. I much prefer being in the presenting role.'

The mother of five, who is married to Joe Swash, credits luck for her successful career. 'I worked really hard and gave it my absolute best, but I still have been lucky to have fallen into those situations where somebody gave me an opportunity,' she said. 'I'll keep going until it finishes.'

Solomon is currently fronting the fourth series of Sort Your Life Out, where she helps families declutter their homes. She noted the psychological reasons behind clutter, saying there is 'always a reason behind the clutter, whether that be emotional attachment or a trauma.' She added that many participants experience lasting lifestyle changes after the show.
