Stacey Solomon has hit back at fans’ claims that she took a “secret vacation” with her sister before their family trip to Disneyland.
The Loose Women star, 32, has shared a slew of snaps from her recent trip to Paris with husband Joe Swash and their children, but observant fans noticed similar posts on her sister Jemma’s Instagram.
However, Stacey went to her stories to clarify that her sister had booked two last minute packages for her own trip and didn’t want one to go to waste, so she took her son Rex on the trip before she was met by Joe and the others were accompanied by the rest of her family.
Shut down: Stacey Solomon has hit back at fans’ claims that she went on a ‘secret vacation’ with her sister ahead of their family trip to Disneyland
Stacey captioned her Instagram Stories to her 5.4million followers on Friday night: “Some of you asked me that too, no we weren’t on a family vacation.
“Basically my sister booked a last minute package, she couldn’t book in advance because she didn’t know where she would be working professionally and it was awful, all the packages were rubbish.
“The only option she was left with was a room that wasn’t big enough for her family so she had to book the same package twice so it was just ridiculous but it was the only option she had.”

Happy Birthday! Stacey and her new husband Joe Swash, 40, recently shared their trip to Disneyland Paris to celebrate their youngest daughter Rose’s first birthday
Stacey and her new husband Joe Swash, 40, recently shared their trip to Disneyland Paris to celebrate their youngest daughter Rose’s birthday when she turned one.
Stacey also celebrated her 33rd birthday during the same trip as she shares her special day with her little one.
“Rather than having that space go to waste because they didn’t want to split the kids up or separate from each other, she said, ‘Stace, please come and bring one of the boys so the food doesn’t get totally wasted on the scheduler and everything else, so took it I took Rexy with me and everyone else stayed at home.
“And I didn’t want to post about it because it wasn’t our holiday to post about it, we just did it so she wouldn’t waste money…
“And I thoroughly enjoyed watching my nieces and nephews and being the designated photographer and videographer.”

In response to a fan who told the TV personality that she didn’t need to explain herself, she said: “I know, I don’t usually either, I don’t usually answer. But this one really annoyed me.’
The TV personality recently celebrated her second crafty home care book, Tap To Tidy at Pickle Cottage, which was released on September 29.
But actor-husband Joe hasn’t told her he’ll be launching his cookbook soon, two weeks later on October 13, so they’ll both be out just before Christmas.
Speaking to Rob Beckett and Josh Widdecombe on the Parenting Hell podcast, the television personality explained that Joe’s Kitchen is her husband’s project, which she had no idea about until he posted it on Instagram.

She told the podcast hosts: “He’s got a cookbook out. He’s so funny because he doesn’t tell me anything and then posts on Instagram: “I’ve published a cookbook”.
“I was like, ‘Babe, could you have told me?’ And he’s like, “Oh, yeah”.’
Though Joe made it to the Celebrity MasterChef finale, he wasn’t particularly known for his cooking skills – but he still snagged the book deal from Harper Collins, which is described as “homemade meals for a happy family”.
Happy family: Joe and Stacey have been together for seven years and tied the knot in July. They share two children who live in their home, which they call Pickle Cottage.
