Stacey Solomon fans 'so sad' over star's emotional message as she ends journey to focus on family
Stacey Solomon has thanked her fans for their support after saying “goodbye” to a “magical experience”. The TV personality has revealed in an emotional post that she is saying goodbye to In The Style and will be launching her last ever collection with the fashion retailer later this year and has made the difficult decision to step back after reconsidering her work life balance.
In a heartfelt post uploaded to Instagram on Wednesday, 18 September, 34 year old Stacey, who is the doting mum to five children - Zachary, 16, Leighton, 12, Rex, five, Rose, two and one-year-old Belle - explained that while she’d “loved every single second” of the experience working with In The Style, it was time to focus on others things.
“I have loved every single second of being able to design & create clothing with the most incredible team & literally bring my dream to life. Throughout this year I’ve thought a lot about work/family balance & things that have needed to be prioritised,” the post, which was shared by In The Style, read.

“So I’ve decided to say goodbye to In The Style and other things so that I can give more of myself back to my family. In The Style has been a dream come true and I’m so grateful to have had such an incredible opportunity. I’m so proud of everything we created & achieved from making garments out of offcuts, and using recycled materials, to our sizing ranges and everything in between. It’s been a huge learning insight for me and a part of my career I’ll remember forever.”
Before saying goodbye, Stacey revealed that a new collection was on its way and that shoppers would soon be able to get their hands on the upcoming release. “We wanted to end on a high so this last collection has every bit of love we could possibly give it & it only felt right to end it in my favourite season. I can’t wait to show you soon,” the post continued.
“Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our collections & showing them so much love you have made this whole journey for me and I’ll never forget it and never take it for granted.
“Thank you to everyone at In The Style for this magical experience. Here’s to the last ever collection.”
In response to the announcement, Stacey’s fans flocked to the comments section to show their support for her decision, and to congratulate her on the collections she’d released so far. “So sad to see Stacey go but it’s so important to balance work and family. Thank you for all the amazing edits x,” wrote one.
“Absolutely gutted, but she has to put herself and Family first I have so many pieces of your collection Stacey and I can’t wait to purchase some more from your last one. Good luck with everything,” another added. “This will be the best so far sad to see you go though,” a third commented.
