Stacey Solomon has sparked speculation that she has quit Loose Women after she snubbed the show’s Christmas party and told fans she only had one more day of work

Stacey Solomon has sparked speculation that she has quit Loose Women – just weeks after rejoining her co-stars following her maternity leave.

The mum of five, 34, made an appearance on the daytime TV show earlier this week, telling fans she only had “one more day” of work before the festive period. Her pals on the show then headed straight out to their Christmas bash – which was plastered all over social media, but eagle-eyed fans noticed that Stacey didn’t join them.

Other stars were clearly in good spirits including Brenda Edwards, Denise Welch, Christine Lampard, Linda Robson, Katie Piper and Judi Love. The lively gang were joined by Kaye Adams, Jane Moore and Katie Piper.

The only other panelist that was forced to pull out was Olivia Attwood, who recently joined the show, following a nasty-looking eye injury. Olivia said: “Was meant to be off to the Loose Women Christmas lunch, but my eye had other ideas” as she took a photo of her eye covered in bandages.

Other names that were absent were Coleen Nolan, Kelle Bryan, Frankie Bridge, Kelly Holmes and Nadia Sawalha. Stacey has only appeared on the ITV show a handful of times since going on maternity leave last year ahead of the birth of her fifth child Belle. Celebrating her daughter’s first Christmas, Stacey posted an image of Belle dressed in a Santa outfit and wrote: “Happy First Christmas Belle. It doesn’t seem real that this time last year we announced our pregnancy with Belle. Now look at her. It’s not easy being number 5 little Belle, it’s manic & you have to slot in.

She added: “But that doesn’t mean you miss out on the first Christmas Santa costume & celebrations that every pickle gets in this house. We love you so much our beautiful little Belle. It feels like you’ve been here forever. Can’t wait for a thousand wonderful Christmas’ with you ”

Meanwhile, sharing their festive fun with fans, Denise posted a boomerang of all the women together and captioned it saying: “The @loosewomen Christmas party!! A proud return of the boomerang!!!” Kelly replied: “Aww can’t believe I missed the parrrty. Hope you having a fab time Xx.” And fans wasted no time in commenting following posts of the party.

One person wrote: “”Happy Christmas ladies thankyou for making a fantastic series with plenty of laughs.” Another added: “Can imagine that being a great night. Thanks for a great year of entertainment. Merry Christmas.” And a third wrote: “Merry Christmas to you all thank you for another brilliant year of Loose Women.” And a fourth penned: “Happy Christmas all you looses . Have a fab time lots love xx.”
