Stacey Solomon has admitted she feels uncomfortable posting about her “super expensive” vacation, as some of her fans struggle with the cost of living crisis.
The Loose Women panellist, 33, is enjoying a sun-soaked getaway to Abu Dhabi with her blended family, including husband Joe Swash, 41.
And while keeping her Instagram followers updated on her every move, she’s confessed that it’s all with good intentions and she’s not out to “make anyone feel like crap.”
During a Stories Q&A on Sunday, one fan wrote, “No question, but I love seeing all the content.”
Posting a picture of herself on the beach with her youngest daughter Belle, two months, she replied, “I worry so much about sharing sometimes because I know it’s really not fun for a lot of people and holidays are super expensive and a lot of people can’t go.

The former X Factor star explained that the images were particularly meaningful as they were all shot by her father.
Aside from Belle, Stacey shares daughter Rose, 15 months, and son Rex, three, with husband Joe, 41, and is also mum to Zach, 15, and Leighton, nine, from previous relationships.
Alongside her video upload, Stacey wrote, “I’m crying. So it turns out my dad still videos me like I do my babies.
“I hardly ever get videos like that from me. It’s usually pictures I force Joe to take so they know I was really there.

My camera roll usually looks like I just came in with a selfie or in the mirror video… I can’t tell you how emotional I feel right now.

Stacey flew abroad with her brood and snapped some gorgeous shots in the sun for Instagram.
Posting with her youngest child, she looked incredible in a plunging black bikini top and matching bottoms, while sporting a straw hat.

‘While me and the three little ones spent the day at the hotel pool. Today was a beach day and we took Belle down to see the sea when it got a little cooler. Joe took some really nice pictures. There isn’t one I don’t wear here.
“So thankful for these memories, so thankful for my family, and so thankful for my body, which brought our family here.”
