Like any frazzled mum, Stacey Solomon has her hands full, juggling a successful career with five kids and a hubby. But now Stacey, 34, has told pals she's ready to get away from it all to enjoy some much-needed downtime away from her family obligations.

According to our source, the Sort Your Life Out host, who recently unveiled her ninth Primark range, has pledged to spend the summer in sunnier climes with her girlfriends, while also instructing husband Joe Swash that she wants more evenings and weekends free.

"At the start of the year, Stacey declared 2024 as her f**k it year and while she's said that mainly involved saying yes to things in her career, she's also making sure she sticks to that motto in her personal life," our source claimed. "So this summer she is planning a girly trip away to somewhere hot where they can all just relax and have fun."

The source said that while Stacey has always been conscientious about being seen as a hands-on mum and wife, the her regular Loose Women seat reality is, she needs a break just like anyone else does.

"She was always so worried about being judged for leaving her family, but she's realised that she needs a break at times and wants to spend time with her girlfriends," the source continued.
