Stacey Solomon lets rip after failing to win a BAFTA as ‘gutted’ star fumes ‘she was ROBBED’ and admits she is ‘not taking it well’

Stacey Solomon showed a conpletely different side to her usual wholesome demeanor when he furiously let rip in an online rant after losing out on a prize during Sunday night’s 2025 BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises.

The 35-year-old presenter’s BBC show Sort Your Life Out was nominated in the Factual Entertainment category but lost out to Rylan Clark and Rob Rinder’s programme Grand Tour.

However, while she congratulated the winners, Stacey couldn’t help but reveal how ‘gutted’ she was for her team who ‘deserved’ the award as she declared that they were ‘robbed’.

In a rare uninhibited rant, the star – who also missed out on a solo gong for Entertainment Performance – took to her Instagram stories to share her devastation at the loss.

Dressed in a green Nike sweater and blue cycle shorts, Stacey watered her vegetable patch while expressing to her fans how she felt about the loss.

Stacey, who on Sunday dazzled in her repurposed wedding dress, fumed: ‘We didn’t win a BAFTA. And I know I’m supposed to take it gracefully like a champ but, I’ll be honest, I’m devastated!

Laughing at her reaction, she continued: ‘I’m not handling it very well, I’m not taking it very gracefully – I’m devastated! I’m devastated for our whole team, like I’m so gutted for our team. 

‘Everyone got dressed up and was really hopeful, I think because they work so hard. It’s not an easy show to make, Sort Your Life Out and the team work so hard to make it happen and they so deserve the BAFTA.

‘The Sort Your Life Out team deserved a BAFTA and I’m devastated. I’m not saying that everyone else didn’t deserve their BAFTAs, they absolutely did. People think making TV is really easy and it’s not, so everyone deserves recognition. But I’m just gutted for my whole Sort Your Life Out family because I feel like they deserved a BAFTA. I’m gonna say it – I’m gutted!’

Going on to reveal what it takes to make their show, she went on: ‘We’ll pack up a house and within seven days that house is packed up, into vans, over to a warehouse, laid out on the floor, we go through it meticulously, we make sure it doesn’t just get chucked away. We donate, we recycle, we resell things. We put it all back and try and put it in systems to help families move forward…’

She also gave a shout out to the families who give up their time and open their homes to TV audiences, especially when they run the risk of being judged. 

Waving her hose in the air, a fuming Stacey concluded: ‘I’m gutted!’ before praising her whole team and noting they planned to give it their all for series six. 

Meanwhile, the wife of Joe Swash also made her feelings clear in the comments section of her co-star Dilly Carter’s post.

Professional organizer Dilly penned a somewhat more gracious message after losing out on the prize, noting that she was chuffed to even be nominated.

Stacey fumed: ‘ We didn’t win a BAFTA . And I know I’m supposed to take it gracefully like a champ but, I’ll be honest, I’m devastated!’

Alongside a red carpet video, she said: ‘Walking out, like we walked in, with our heads high and super proud of what we have achieved as a show, as a production. It’s so easy in these moments to feel sad because we haven’t won and forget about where we actually are. In a room full of incredible talent. But in the actual room.

‘Some people dream of their show being nominated so for us to have been nominated twice is unreal. So let’s celebrate the show and just how far it’s come. It wasn’t so long ago we were just filming a pilot. Huge congrats to @rylan and @robrinder. Thank you for all the love and support as always. Now let’s get back to filming series 6.’

On Sunday, Stacey turned heads on the red carpet after she re-purposed her wedding dress for the ceremony.

The ceremony has been championing sustainability in recent years and as part of its pledge, guests are asked to wear something already in existence – from their own wardrobe or rented.

And as well as Vicky Pattison, Stacey used the occasion to bring out her most special garment for another outing.

Stacey took to her Instagram ahead of the ceremony to share a slew of snaps in her dazzling outfit, which she revealed had been made from her bridal gown from her wedding to Joe Swash in July 2022. 

She showcased her tiny waist and toned legs in reworked dress, which had been altered into a fashion-forward playsuit, as she insisted wearing her wedding look only once ‘feels like a travesty’.

Keeping the corseted bodice from the original dress, Stacey removed the off-the-shoulder sleeves and added dramatic pointed detailing to the neckline.

‘I’m just gutted for my whole Sort Your Life Out family because I feel like they deserved a BAFTA. I’m gonna say it – I’m gutted!’

While her skirt was changed into shorts, with a thigh-high slit cut into the sparkling skirt overlay, allowing a glimpse at her long legs underneath.

Revealing the sweet origin of her outfit, Stacey also explained why she decided to re-wear her special dress from her wedding day.

She wrote: ‘I decided to have my wedding dress re worked for today because wearing it once feels like a travesty to me. I wanted to get her out of the box & take her out on another special day.

‘Thank you @fayesawyerstylist & Issy for transforming my wedding dress into something so special & beautiful. I love you girls. Thank you penny for making me feel so beautiful as always. HERE WE GO! Fingers crossed’.

Meanwhile Vicky rewore one of her collection of dresses from her nuptials to Ercan Ramadan.  

The 2025 BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises saw a slew of celebrities take home awards celebrating excellence in TV on Sunday, at the glitzy ceremony held in the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall.

Mr. Bates vs The Post Office led the big winners of the evening, scoring two more awards to add to the ground-breaking ITV show’s ever-growing list of accolades.

However, it was the BBC who came out on top, scoring 17 wins in total after a year of triumphant programming, in the ceremony – presented this year by actor Alan Cumming.

While Netflix smash Baby Reindeer and the climactic Gavin & Stacey Christmas special also won key awards.

Widely expected to claim much of Sunday evening’s spotlight, Mr. Bates vs The Post Office picked up an early award for Limited Drama.

Accepting the gong from Russell Tovey and Daniel Mays, producer Patrick Spencer said: ‘We could only film this because Polly Hill at ITV saved us from getting cancelled and this story only had the impact it did because the people who watched it stood up as one and demanded action with such rage, that the government had no choice but to respond.

The night began with Jessica Gunning collecting the award for Best Actress after winning accolades for her portrayal of crazed stalker Martha in Richard Gatt’s hugely successful Netflix drama Baby Reindeer

‘Our show didn’t change the law, the people of this nation did. They showed in their response to Mr. Bates vs The Post Office that our country cannot abide liars and bullies.’ 

He added: ‘May it be a warning to those who are supposed to have our backs, that they better not abuse their power.

‘When accepting this award, we would like to go on record that being trusted by the post-masters to tell their story has been the greatest privilege of our lives.’ 

ITV went on to claim a Special Award, presented by Baroness Floella Benjamin – for its work in commissioning Mr. Bates vs The Post Office. 

Urging Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour government to rush through arranged compensation payments for affected former postal employees, ITV boss Kevin Lygo said: ‘Hurry up and pay these people what they are due.’

Danny Dyer then forced the BBC to do some quick editing, after he let slip several swear words during his acceptance speech for best Male Performance in a Comedy.

The actor, 47, won his first BAFTA for his role as Lee in Mr. Bigstuff, and allowed his excitement to get the better of him in his typically expletive-laden speech.

After first saying: ‘F***ing hell, I’m choked up’, the EastEnders star then shared a sweet and hilarious tribute to Mr. Bigstuff writer and his co-star Ryan Sampson, which led him to turning the air blue once more.

Danny said: ‘But I got to dedicate this to Ryan Sampson. One of the greatest things to come out of Rotherham. Which is not saying much.

However, the BBC were less than impressed by the star breaking the watershed, with host Alan being forced to issue and apology and the swears cut out of the broadcast

‘But one of the best actors this country’s ever produced, I’m telling you. Never done the same thing twice. Which is not something I can say. 

‘He wrote this part for me, so you know… I’m getting choked up again, f**k me. So you won this for me mate, I really appreciate it, thank you so much.’

He finished by addressing his two daughters Dani, 28, and Sunnie, 18, who were sat in the audience and took the opportunity to swear one last time, declaing: ‘Girls, Sunnie and Dani. I’ve done it girls, I’ve f***ing done it!’

However, the BBC were less than impressed by the star breaking the watershed, with host Alan being forced to say: ‘I’ve been asked to apologise for the naughty language there.’

And when the moment was aired just an hour later, the broadcaster made sure to trim down Danny’s speech and cut out all of his curses.

Alan later accidentally let slip a swear word of his own, while presenting the prestigious BAFTA Fellowship award to journalist Kirsty Wark.

The Scottish star suffered an unfortunate blunder by mistakenly introducing the award as the ‘b*****d fellowship’, and upon realising his error, the mortified actor let loose yet another swear, as he sheepishly muttered: ‘Oh f*** me!’

The Fellowship is the highest accolade bestowed by BAFTA upon an individual in recognition of an outstanding and exceptional contribution to film, games or television.
