Stacey Solomon tearfully unveils new career move and says it's 'time for a change'
Stacey Solomon was moved to tears as she announced a significant new career venture. The 35 year old took to Instagram to reveal that she's launching her own perfume line which will be named after her one year old daughter Belle and two year old Rose.
Stacey and her husband Joe Swash have a blended family of six children, including Rex, four, who they share, along with Belle and Rose. Their other children from previous relationships are Harry, 17, Zachary, 15, and Leighton, 11, reports the Mirror.
In a video shared with her six million followers, Stacey said: "I feel so lucky and grateful to have been able to live - what I can only describe, as my wildest dreams, and that's such a huge privilege, one I'll never take for granted and certainly never forget. But it's time for a change and a new focus.

"I've made space in my life to follow a dream of mine and create something special that hopefully you will love and will live on forever through my children."
She confessed to having lost her confidence in the past but is now resolved to embrace change, stating: "I'm so overwhelmed with the feeling of excitement and fear as I step into a world which I can only say is bloody scary but also thrilling. This is a long time coming mostly because I haven't had the confidence more than anything. But not anymore."
Stacey Solomon shared an exciting glimpse into her latest venture – a unique fragrance she's personally developed. Posting the perfume bottle design, Stacey revealed on Instagram: "First things first, it is a perfume, it's just one perfume I'm launching."
She expressed both excitement and apprehension about the new endeavour, acknowledging the financial risks involved: "I'm really, really excited about it. I am also super nervous about it because I've let go of a lot of things this year that are guaranteed income that I won't have next year.
"And none of this project is guaranteed to be successful in any way, so it feels like a massive risk and is scary. When I say I've been through hundreds of formulas I'm not exaggerating. Two of the ingredients in the final formula are Tuberose and Amber."
During an Instagram Q&A session with fans, Stacey was emotionally moved by the outpouring of support, saying: "Not me crying into my inbox."
The Loose Women star, rising to prominence with her 2009 X Factor journey, fondly thanked her followers: "You have literally changed my life. I get to live dreams of mine that, when I was growing up, they were... not even dreams of mine, they weren't even on my radar of dreams because I realised just how far away that was."
Outside of fragrance, Stacey ventured into other business avenues, including a celestial-themed jewellery line last month with Abbott Lyon, and home decor lines with major supermarkets Asda and Sainsbury’s.
