In-demand Loose Womenpanellist Stacey Solomon is said to be struggling with doubts over whether her career will continue to flourish
Stacey Solomon may be feeling refreshed after her “magical” break away travelling across Scotland with her family, but she is now firmly back home and back to reality.
The Loose Womenpanellist is not only mum to Zachary, 15, Leighton, 11, Rex, four, Rose, two, and one-year-old Belle, but is also juggling a successful career, which includes fronting the hit BBC home-decluttering series Sort Your Life Out.
And a source has told new that with such a hectic schedule things are getting a bit much for Stacey who feels like she’s being pulled in different directions.
“The more success she has, the harder it is to juggle everything as five kids is a lot, especially as they’re all at such different ages and have different wants and needs,” they said.
“Her and Joe try to do all the childcare as much as possible and fit their work in around it but that can’t always happen. So they have to rely on friends and family to help them out.
“But they don’t want to turn down work as they both worry this won’t last forever and are terrified of things coming crashing down and losing everything, so Stacey is determined to do it all while she can and make their futures as secure as possible.”
Ever since Stacey catapulted to fame on the The X Factorin 2009, her career has gone from strength to strength.
Recently, she celebrated youngest daughter Belle’s first birthday – updating her 5.9 million Instagram followers on her latest DIY projects for the party – as well as embarking on a new fitness journey and investing in a new hair-care brand.
She has also admitted to struggling with imposter syndrome and often recounts her journey from becoming a mum at 17, and relying on tax credits while living with her eldest son Zachary, to landing her dream home – Pickle Cottage – with husband Joe Swash.
“When you’ve grown up with limited resources, there’s almost a narrative that everything’s unlikely and the odds are against you. I guess then, if things start to happen, you immediately think, ‘Do I even deserve this?’ I really work hard to teach the boys that nothing is certain,” she said.
And last year she said, “Even to this day I think, ‘Well, we’re comfortable now but something’s going to go wrong at some point, it won’t stay like this forever
