With several TV shows, fashion collections, a haircare range, and five children to look after, Stacey Solomon is one very busy lady.
However, the TV personality, 35, has been notably absent from the hit ITV daytime show Loose Women in recent months, and fans are desperate to know why.
Stacey last appeared on the show in December 2024 as a guest on their groundbreaking 25-hour Talkathon, which saw the ladies on the panel take to the air live for over an entire day with no breaks.
And while the mother-of-five proved to be one of the more popular contributors on the day, she hasn’t been seen on the show since, leaving viewers to question the reason behind her disappearance.
She first appeared on the daytime show in 2011, becoming a regular panellist in 2016 and has made over 350 appearances, so it’s a mystery as to why she has failed to come back.
Now, sources close to the star have insisted to The Sun that she is simply ‘too busy’ to appear back on the panel.

A source told the publication: ‘Stacey is always welcome back and is absolutely still considered part of the Loose family, but at the moment she’s so busy with personal projects and her kids that she never seems to find the time,
‘But they’d have her back in a heartbeat. They love her, and there’s no ill feeling towards her at all. She is just simply too busy to do it right now.’
However, it is not the first time Stacey has been absent from the show for several months.
Back in 2023, after she had been absent from the show for several months following the birth of her youngest daughter, Belle, she admitted that her work schedule and caring for her little one left her with no time to commit to Loose Women.
Returning to the show in November of that year, she said: ‘I’m so happy to be here. I feel like I’ve missed it so much.
She continued: ‘It’s been crazy because my daughter Belle was a wonderful surprise, but what that meant was I had to fit my filming schedule into a very short period of time.
‘So I’ve just been up and down the country with Sort Your Life Out and filming another show, Bricking It, so I haven’t been able to even get into town.’
Now, it seems history is repeating itself, as in the last six weeks she has been travelling the world, launching her latest Rehab hair care product in Lake Como, and vacationing with her eldest son, Zach, 17, in Paris.

Stacey has also been busy working on the new series of her BBC show, Sort Your Life Out.
However, pals believe Stacey, who has been married to Joe Swash, 43, since 2022, may have more on her mind.
A source told the publication: ‘Everyone thinks she and Joe will try for another baby, Stacey absolutely loves being a mum and she’s openly spoken about adding to the family, so no one would be surprised if she wanted to go that route.’
Stacey shares Rex, six, Rose, three, and two-year-old Belle with Joe, who himself has a son, Harry, 17, as well as sons Zach and Leighton, 13, from previous relationships.
In the lead-up to the launch of their reality show, Stacey & Joe, the couple discussed the possibility of having more children.
And while Joe said he would love ‘to have one more’, Stacey, while not as keen, didn’t shut the idea down completely, admitting she’d prefer to wait until her children are slightly older.
Despite being one of the biggest stars on TV, receiving a BAFTA nomination, and having both her shows on the BBC, Stacey failed to make the cut on the corporation’s recent rich list.
But, it may be a long time before fans see the star on the panel again, as a source also revealed to the publication that Stacey is keen to produce another series of her and her husband Joe Swash’s hit reality show
However, pals close to the star reportedly believe that her ambition to make it on there one day will drive a lot of her upcoming decisions.
According to The Sun, Stacey has been raking in £57,000 every month through her various brand deals and has accumulated a wealth of almost £10 million.
And while only a small portion of her wealth comes from her TV shows, she is also reportedly raking in large amounts of money elsewhere thanks to deals with Asda and Primark, as well as her successful Rehab hair care range.
However, it may be a long time before fans see the star on the panel again, as a source also revealed to the publication that Stacey is keen to produce another series of her and Joe’s hit reality show.
MailOnline has contacted Stacey’s representative for comment.
