Stacey Solomon says she needs to set 'boundaries' as she makes sad confession

Stacey Solomon shared a heartbreaking confession with her fans on Monday night, admitting she's lost her confidence over recent months.

The Loose Women panelist, 34, confessed she thinks having her two youngest children so close together may have impacted how she feels these days, pondering if her hormones could be contributing to her low confidence levels.

Stacey, who recently revealed she is feeling broody again, vowed to make 2024 the year she gains "the ability to let go" and not let anyone "dull her light" during the candid update on social media.

Replying to a fan questioning why she doesn't share many videos of herself dancing, Stacey wrote on her Instagram Stories: "Honestly, I think this is another example of me just losing my confidence a bit.

"I don't know if it's having 2 babies so close & hormones everywhere, but... I miss this too. I love being stupid & silly & cleaning the house like a loser. This is what I hope the f*** it year brings most of all: the ability to let go & just be me and do what makes me laugh out loud!!"

Stacey and her husband Joe Swash are parents to three children - Rex, three, Rose, one and Belle, born in February 2023. The Sort Your Life Out presenter also has two older sons, Zachary, 16, and Leighton, 11, from previous relationships, while Joe has a 16-year-old son, Harry, from a past relationship.

Elsewhere on Stacey's Instagram Stories on Monday night, the former X Factor finalist revealed she will be setting some "serious boundaries" over the coming months. Revealing her goals for 2024, the mum-of-five told her loyal followers: "First and foremost I’m going to just do s*** no matter what the little voice in the back of my head says. F*** it. You only live once!

"I’m also not going to make myself small & dull my light to make other people feel better. I’d say over the last few year I’ve been a bit of a mug in some ways. I’ve turned down opportunities or taken certain paths because people who I thought mattered have wanted it. And it made them happy.

"But I’ve realised the only people who matter are the ones who want to lift you up. Support every crazy idea you have. Fill you with confidence & love. Those are the people to keep close. Let the rest go. If you have to change who you are to make somebody happy, they’re not the right somebody.

The DIY guru continued: "I am also going to stay strong on the power of NO. Saying No is ok & 2024 is going to be the year of being brace enough to say no when I need to & set some serious boundaries. But honestly I want to say say f*** it & follow some dreams & ideas I haven’t been strong enough to go for in the past.

"I’d love to go on more adventures with the pickles & not worry if I should or if it’s ok. Mostly I’d love to invest in more female founded small businesses this year. And lift other people up and also build something for my pickle for the future."
