Stacey Solomon will be back on BBC One on Wednesday to host a new Crafty Christmas series, as she shares her top tips and tricks for a fabulous festive season
TV favourite Stacey Solomon has opened up about her family’s Christmas, admitting that one part of it is “upsetting.”
The 35-year-old Loose Women star got candid on The One Show, chatting with hosts Alex Jones and Roman Kemp about the holiday season. Nestled next to Doctor Who scribe Russell T Davies, she was quizzed on her telly habits over the festive period.
Roman probed: “Stacey, Christmas Day this year, who controls the remote control in your household?” Stacey confessed with a hint of mock despair: “Oh, I’m sorry to say Russell, but it’s mainly kids’ TV in our house. It’s very upsetting. I mean lovely for a couple of minutes of the day.
Not only did she dish on her domestic Yuletide routine with hubby Joe Swash and their brood, but Stacey also spilled the beans on her upcoming show, A Crafty Christmas with Stacey Solomon, reports Wales Online.

Set to hit screens on Wednesday, 18 December, at 9pm on BBC One, Stacey will be seen whipping up homemade Christmas gifts and decorations, aiming to spread joy without breaking the bank. Her creative concoctions range from angelic tree toppers to compact Christmas trees, alongside bespoke goodies like gingerbread body butter and easy-peasy no-sew cushions.
As she revealed on The One Show, Stacey’s not stopping at crafts – she’s planning a bash at her grandmother Gwen’s care home, aiming to sprinkle some much-needed festive spirit among the residents.
Stacey Solomon has rallied the troops, enlisting the help of her husband Joe, their kids, sister Jemma, and her ‘Sort Your Life Out’ sidekick Dilly Carter to create a magical winter wonderland for a care home party.

The crafting queen is set to dazzle residents and staff with her handmade ornaments, transforming the care home just in time for Christmas joy.
Recounting the experience to Roman and Alex, Stacey shared: “Grandma Gwen was so excited we were coming to her care home! She was over the moon.
“My grandma is just the most amazing woman. She’s 96 this month,” and revealed, “So when we said we’ll come to her care home, she was absolutely delighted.”
