THE 33-YEAR-OLD may now be one of the biggest relatable celebs in the UK, but before becoming a millionaire, life was looking a little different for Stacey Solomon.
As fans of the Loose Women panellist are eagerly awaiting the return of her TV show, Sort Your Life Out – back on our screens this month – we take a look at Stacey’s life and how she’s evolved to being the hotshot TV presenter everyone wants on board.
The mum, now a cleanfluencer and regular household name, first gained popularity after appearing on The X Factor in 2009, where she auditioned for the sixth series of the TV talent show as the giggly, kooky teenager from Dagenham, Essex.
After impressing the judges with her voice, the then 19-year-old, from Essex, made it to the final where she performed with Michael Buble.
Unfortunately, despite being mentored by the one and only Danni Minogue, Stacey ranked in the third place following a public vote.
