Stacey hits back on abuse
STACEY Solomon has told how she laughs off internet trolls who comment about her looks.
The Loose Women star insisted she feels no pressure to change just because of social media abuse as she feels pretty anyway.
Stacey, 34, said: “I find trolls hilarious.
“I’ve made peace in my mind with them. About 1% of people who see your post will comment.
Imagine going to all that effort to say something horrible. It’s almost funny that they’ve used their time because I’m upsetting them that much.
“This probably sounds weird, but I think I’m really pretty. I know that sounds big-headed, but I like what I look like. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me.
“If I was bothered by how I looked I could go and get work done but I just don’t put that much onus on what I see in the mirror. I mean, I’m not Claudia Schiffer. I’m me.”
After appearing on The X Factor in 2009, Stacey has carved out a successful career and alongside Loose Women is now arguably the queen of DIY TV with BBC’S Sort Your Life Out and her new Channel 4 series Renovation Rescue.
But on her success she told Radio Times: “It’s all relative.
“Sometimes my status has been really high and sometimes it’s been much further down the ladder and I’ve had to ride it out.
“The one thing that’s kept me going for the last 15 years is my family. They have kept me grounded and have reminded me that nothing in life is guaranteed.”
Stacey regularly shares photos of herself and her family. She married Joe Swash in July 2022 and her children are Zachary, 16, Leighton, 12, Rex, four, Rose, two, and one-year-old Belle.
Stacey had Zachary with ex-boyfriend Dean Cox and Leighton is from her relationship with former fiance Aaron Barham.
