STACEY Solomon has wrapped filming on her hit BBC show with husband Joe Swash – after being forced to deny she’s quit Loose Women.
The TV favourite, 34, has been absent from the ITV panel show for almost a year, sparking claims she had walked away for good.
Her rep told The Sun she is still a “proud Loose Women” panellist after insiders suggested she had thrown in the towel.
In recent months she’s been travelling, launching her latest Rehab hair product in Lake Como, enjoying a Paris trip with eldest son Zach, 17, and working on new episodes of Sort Your Life Out and her BBC series Stacey & Joe.
Stacey wrapped filming for the second series last night, which returns Tuesday 9 September at 8pm.
Stacey shared a pic from a candid sofa moment with Joe, and write over the top: “Filming our very last bit for Stacey & Joe series two today. Coming soon.”
The series will see some very special and monumental firsts for the family including Belle’s first day of nursery, all of her kids learning to ski and Zach’s 17th Birthday.
Grandad Dave takes on driving lesson duties as Zach gets behind the wheel.
It’s been a busy year for Stacey and apart from a one-off special, she last appeared on Loose Women in December.
Sources claimed she had chosen to focus on her hair care brand, Rehab, and other TV projects instead.
One told MailOnline: “The team at Loose Women did everything possible last year to have Stacey on the panel, the viewers love her and there’s always a boost to the ratings when she’s on.
“But it’s clear Stacey has quit Loose Women.
“She hasn’t been on the panel all year, there are no plans for her to appear, she most certainly hasn’t been booked and the show stopped reaching out months ago.”
However, another insider told The Sun’s Fabulous magazine: “Stacey is always welcome back and is absolutely still considered part of the Loose family.
“But at the moment she’s so busy with personal projects and her kids that she never seems to find the time.
“But they’d have her back in a heartbeat.
“They love her and there’s no ill feeling towards her at all. She is just simply too busy to do it right now.”
In 2023, after being off the show for months following the birth of her youngest daughter Belle, Stacey admitted her hectic work schedule made it impossible to commit.
She said: “I’m so happy to be here. I feel like I’ve missed it so much.
“It’s been crazy because my daughter Belle was a wonderful surprise, but what that meant was I had to fit my filming schedule into a very short period of time.
“So I’ve just been up and down the country with Sort Your Life Out and filming another show, Bricking It, so I haven’t been able to even get into town.”
