Fans were quick to notice a glaring absence in the recent Loose Women 25th anniversary portrait. Stacey Solomon, who had been a regular on the ITV show for eight years, was nowhere to be seen. This sparked concerns among viewers that the former X Factor star had quietly left the show.
In the celebratory portrait, the panelists of Loose Women, including Denise Welch and Coleen Nolan, were all dressed in stunning silver dresses. However, Stacey was noticeably missing from the group. Fans took to Instagram to express their worries, with one user asking, "Where's Stacey?" and another noting, "@staceysolomon should be in this photo."
Rumors of Stacey's departure from Loose Women were further fueled by her recent decision to step down from a major role after three years. The Sort Your Life host explained that she wanted to spend more time with her growing family, which now includes her fifth child, Belle, with husband Joe Swash.
In May, Stacey had revealed her dream of becoming a stay-at-home mom and focusing on projects that she could mostly work on from home. With her eldest son about to leave school, she felt that this was a pivotal moment in her life and she didn't want to miss out on spending time with her younger children like she felt she had with her older ones.
During a podcast interview, Stacey shared that she had discussed her goals with her team and had expressed her desire to be a stay-at-home mom. However, she also acknowledged the conflict of wanting to fulfill her personal goals and passions. As a compromise, she aimed to work on projects that she could do from home 90% of the time.
Stacey rose to fame after her appearance on The X Factor in 2009 and went on to win I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! the following year. She joined the panel of Loose Women in 2016 and has since taken on hosting gigs for Sort Your Life Out and Bake Off: The Professionals, as well as being a regular on Celebrity Gogglebox.
The Agency reached out to ITV and Stacey's representatives for comment on the rumors surrounding her departure from Loose Women. In the meantime, fans can catch the show weekdays at 12:30pm on ITV.
