‘I’d never want to make anyone feel rubbish!’ Stacey Solomon admits she feels awkward posting about ‘super expensive’ Abu Dhabi getaway while fans struggle with cost of living crisis
Stacey Solomon has admitted she feels awkward posting about her ‘super expensive’ holiday while some of her fans struggle with the cost of living crisis.
The Loose Women panellist, 33, has been enjoying a sun-drenched getaway to Abu Dhabi with her blended family, including husband Joe Swash, 41.
And while she’s been keeping her Instagram followers abreast with her every move, she has confessed it’s all with good intentions and that she’s not out to ‘make anyone feel rubbish’.
During a Stories Q&A on Sunday, one fan wrote: ‘Not a question but love seeing all the content.’
Posting a snap of herself on the beach with her youngest daughter Belle, two months, she replied, ‘I worry so much sharing sometimes because I know it’s really s**t out there for lots of people & holidays are super expensive & lots of people are unable to go.

‘So I’d never want to make anyone feel rubbish. But all of your lovely messages have just made me so happy and so glad I shared it all with you guys.’
Stacey was in tears on Saturday, as she shared a montage of candid holiday clips taken by her father.
The mother-of-five took to Instagram where she uploaded the complication video of herself holidaying with her children in Abu Dhabi.
Stacey could be seen doting on her young family in the sweet clips, sharing special moments together in the sunshine.
The former X Factor star explained that the footage was particularly meaningful, because it had all been taken by her father.
Aside from Belle, Stacey shares daughter Rose, 15 months as well as son Rex, three, with husband Joe, 41, and is also mum to Zach, 15, and Leighton, nine, from previous relationships.
Next to her video upload, Stacey penned: ‘I’m crying. So turns out my dad still takes videos of me the way I do of my babies.
‘I hardly ever get videos of me like this. It’s usually pictures I force Joe to take so they know I was actually there.

‘One day in years to come please g-d the pickles will have these to watch & remember the special times we had
‘I don’t care about the angles, my hair, my face, my body or the fact I’m mostly sun creaming everyone half the time.
‘I’m just so grateful to have these… forever and always Dad… What an adventure we will treasure forever.’
It comes after Stacey was praised as an ‘amazing role model for women’ for showing off her ‘normal mum body’ after posing on the beach in a bikini in Abu Dhabi.

In the post with her youngest child, she looked incredible in a plunging black bikini top and matching bottoms, while accessorising with a straw hat.
