Loose Women's Stacey Solomon to 'take over' show as fans demand return

Stacey Solomon will soon 'take over' Loose Women as fans have been left wondering why she's been absent from the show.

Stacey has been a popular member of the panel on the ITV lunchtime programme for years now, so it's come as a bit of a surprise that's the former I'm A Celebrity winner has barely been on screen of late, although of course she has had a wedding to plan, with her marrying another ex jungle champion, Joe Swash, last month.

While Stacey has been 'missing in action' from Loose Women, other regulars like Denise Welch, Coleen Nolan, Janet Street-Porter and Brenda Edwards have been on screen a lot over the summer and on Friday, it was another of Stacey's ITV colleague, Kaye Adams, who confirmed her return and the new role.

Kaye's announcement will come as great news to viewers who have been posting on Twitter, calling for her to be back on the panel. Earlier this week it was confirmed that Love Island winners Ekin-Su and Davide would be appearing on Loose Women and voicing concerns that the panel would s**t shamed Ekin, one Twitter user posted: "get stacey solomon back!"

Also calling for Penny Lancaster and Paris Fury to be on more regularly, another called for Stacey to at least be back on Fridays.

However, others weren't so enthusiastic in their responses to news of Stacey' takeover. One reacted: "They've just announced a Stacey Solomon Loose Women special. Please PLEASE can you not remind me when this is on. Thanks," with another replying: "I won’t! Cos I won’t be watching either!"
