Stacey Solomon: 'It is impossible to have it all. I think they sold us that lie years ago'

Stacey Solomon is a straight-talking and successful woman who is comfortable in her own skin

Stacey Solomon: "I genuinely don’t know how to be anything else other than what I am."

Stacey Solomon just can’t help it telling it like it is. Sometimes it gets her into trouble, even when she might only be saying what most are thinking. Like last week, for example, when she dared to question the relevance of the monarchy after Queen Elizabeth died.

“I don’t get why we are so obsessed with these four… humans,” she said on the panel of Loose Women, where she is a regular contributor. When her co-anchors suggested the queen should be admired for her duty, her sense of responsibility, the fact she has worked “really hard”, Solomon said, “but I would work hard if the whole country paid for me to have 12 houses and work really hard.” Solomon continued: “It’s freezing cold outside and people are homeless and these people have houses to spare… it does become a little frustrating because I don’t see the purpose of all that money going to these people.”
