Loose Women star Stacey Solomon has sparked rumours that she could be leaving the show for good so she can focus on being a full-time mum.
The 34 year old – who first joined the daytime TV show’s panel in 2016 – made the confession during a heartfelt chat with beauty mogul Caroline Hirons on her Glad We Had This Chat podcast as Stacey admitted how she juggles her hectic workload with her five children.
She said: “Every year I have a team meeting with my agent and everyone on the team to say, ‘What’s your plan? What’s your goal?’ And this year when they asked me my five-year goal, I was like, I want to be a stay-at-home mum. That is my dream, it’s my ultimate dream. I just want to be with my kids.”
Stacey – who is mum Zachary, 16, Leighton, 12, Rex, six, Rose, four, and one year old Belle, not to mention her role as step-mum to husband Joe Swash’s 16 year old son Harry – has a pretty busy family life.
But the Sort Your Life Out presenter has mapped out a five-year plan to wind down her professional commitments to focus more on her kids, reports the Mirror, and her decision to step back from work comes after Stacey said she feels like she’s ‘missed out’ on her eldest sons’ childhoods.
She said: “I definitely feel like I’m at a pivotal moment in my life where Zachary is about to leave school and become an adult. I think I’m at a point in my life where I recognise that I’ve been really busy for his life. And his life is at a really important point.
“My second son will get to that point before I know it. And then I’ve got these three babies. I don’t want to feel like I missed what I potentially missed with my older children and I want to be there for my older children, who I think need me now more than ever. I’ve been battling that in my head.”
However, the TV star also firmly believes that it’s important for her kids to see her as a person and not just as their mum. She explained: “I’m not a mythical creature with no feelings and no ambitions.”
