Loose Women panellist Stacey Solomon has made an unexpected emotional confession, admitting that she is leaving a major business.
The popular broadcaster, 34, turned to Instagram this week to give fans a big update on her professional life, saying that she had a ‘great but emotional’ day.
She went on to state that after three years as a fashion brand ambassador, she is stepping down to spend more time with her family.
Last year, Stacey had her fifth child, Belle, with her 42-year-old husband, Joe Swash. The pair also has Rex, four, and Rose, two, while Stacey has 16-year-old Zachary with her husband Dean Cox and 11-year-old Leighton with her fiancé Aaron Barnham.
Posting a statement on her Instagram story, Stacey told fans: ‘Today has been a wonderful but emotional day as I shot my LAST EVER collection for In The Style.
‘I have loved every single second of being able to design & create clothing with the most incredible team & literally bring my dreams to life.’
She continued to say that this year, she has ‘thought a lot about work/family balance’ and what she needs to prioritise, admitting that to ‘give more of myself back to my family’, she needs to step away from In The Style.
‘We wanted to end on a high, so this last collection has every bit of love we could possibly give it & it only felt right to end it in my favourite season’, she explained.
While she did not say when the collection will be accessible to fans, she promised to’show you soon’.
Stacey concluded her statement by thanking her followers ‘from the bottom of our hearts’ for their support of the collections and praising her experience with the company as’magical’.

The actress has been collaborating with the brand since 2021 to develop ‘one-of-a-kind’ collections for each season of the year.
The TV star’s announcement comes just days after winning her first National Television Award.
Stacey, who attended the ceremony with her teenage son and sister, Jemma, was nearly too overwhelmed to speak after her reality program, Sort Your Life Out, won the night’s top accolade for outstanding factual entertainment show.
Beating Jeremy Clarkson’s Clarkson’s Farm, Gogglebox, The Martin Lewis Money Show Live, and The Yorkshire Vet, the celebrity was all smiles as she thanked her son for being ‘by my side’ since the beginning of her famous career.
Describing Zachary as her ‘rock’, she added: ‘It’s the hardest show ever to make and they work so, so hard. My amazing co-presenters.’
‘I’m so grateful I get to do a show like this, I want to thank the families who let us into their homes. If it wasn’t for the families, who opened their hearts to us, there wouldn’t be no Sort Your Life Out.’
The show, which premiered in 2021, follows Stacey and her team as they help households in the UK remodel their homes through cleaning, upcycling, and recycling.
