Stacey Solomon spent last night at the BAFTA awards. The Loose Women panellist was up for two awards, entertainment performance and factual entertainment for her BBC show
Despite being up for two awards, Stacey was unfortunate as she left the ceremony empty handed. She missed out on entertainment performance to Joe Lycett’s Late Night Lycett on Channel 4 and in the second category to Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour, which airs on BBC Two.
After the late night, Stacey was up and about early this morning. She posted a video to her Instagram story, saying: “Good morning from the veg patch. I am just about to do the morning water.
“We didn’t win a BAFTA and I know I’m supposed to take it gracefully like a champ but I’ll be honest I’m devastated.” She laughed as she admitted that she wasn’t “handling it” very well or taking it very gracefully.
She expressed her feelings further by reiterating “I’m devastated for our whole team. Everyone got dressed up and really hopeful, I think because they worked so hard.”
Stacey told followers that ‘Sort Your Life Out’ is not an easy show to make and the team had worked hard to make it happen and they “deserved” the BAFTA award.
Although the TV personality has shared her feelings after the awards show, she said everyone else who won a BAFTA “absolutely deserved” it. She added that the Sort Your Life Out team deserved an award.
The show follows Stacey as she helps families transform their homes. With a life-changing declutter, they upcycle and recycle their way to a new home.
Stacey also mentioned the families that she had helped over the course of the show, saying she is “gutted” for them too. The show will be returning for season six, the former X Factor star finished her rant by sharing that the team are going to carry on through the new series with their “heads held high” and she is honoured to do the job.
Text layered over the video read “Gutted. What the hell BAFTA”, alongside laughing face emojis. The second video was captioned “Rant over I’m sorry.”
For the BAFTA awards, Stacey chose to wear a unique fashion statement. She upcycled her wedding dress from her marriage to Joe Swash in 2022.
Taking to Instagram before the awards ceremony, Stacey revealed the personal reason behind her choice. She said: “I decided to have my wedding dress re worked for today because wearing it once feels like a travesty to me.
“I wanted to get her out of the box & take her out on another special day.” The star, who rose to fame after appearing on X Factor in 2009, uploaded a clip showing her stylist and pal Faye working on the dress, making it fit for the glamorous occasion.
Stacey expressed her emotions, admitting: “Today I’m wearing my wedding dress. It makes me so sad that this is my favourite most special dress I ever bought and I’ve only ever worn it once.”
