Stacey Solomon speaks out after speculation she's split from Joe Swash

Stacey Solomon has spoken out about the "personal reasons" which saw her take a social media break after people became worried she'd split from boyfriend Joe Swash.

The Loose Women star, 30, who welcomed baby Rex with Joe, 38, last year, sparked concern after staying away from social media.

Stacey usually keeps fans up to date with plenty of Instagram content throughout the day and people were worried when she shied away from the platform on Monday, telling fans she had "lots going on at home".

She returned the next day to say her three children were "safe and well", posting pictures of Rex, Leighton, eight, and Zachary, 12.

She wrote: "We are all dressed and ready for the day... I'm going to come off of social media today for personal reasons."

But when Joe was missing, people began to speculate that they'd broken up.

Stacey has now made it very clear that the rumours couldn't be further from the truth.

Sharing a sweet snap of her own and Joe's hands intertwined, she wrote: "'Personal reasons' isn't code for divorce (we aren't married but you know what I mean) it just means some things are happening in our lives personally at the moment.

"And some things aren't mine to share.

"We love you all & hope you're all ok. These are really strange, scary and emotional times and it's not easy for anyone."

She laughed, adding: "P.S me and Hoe laughed so much trying to take this picture because our hands are so awkward.

"He wanted me to hide his nails too which was impossible".

Stacey is regularly praised for her open and real approach to social media.

But she's had to deal with trolls too.

She recently clapped back at a nasty troll who called her "ugly".

Stacey shared a screenshot of a reply to one of her Instagram stories that said "Your so ugly".

The same person also branded her a "mad freak".

Stacey hit back: "Whenever I hear the word ugly it always reminds me of this song..."

She burst into a rendition of Ugly by the Sugababes, ading: "But the sugar babes got it right all those years ago... Ugly is a characteristic not a look. Never let anyone make you feel anything less than what you are. BEAUTIFUL."
