After vile trolls posted offensive comments online, Stacey Solomon is said to be “incredibly upset” and struggling to cope, with the comments labeling her as “insufferable.”
Stacey Solomon has been left devastated following a fresh wave of online trolling, with sources claiming her husband Joe Swash has had to step in to “pick up the pieces” after the cruel comments took their toll.
The star, 36, is said to be feeling “really upset” and struggling to cope after vile trolls piled in, labelling the former Loose Women panellist a “diva brat”, “talentless” and “incredibly fake”.
One even called her “insufferable,” and according to a source, the beloved TV host and influencer has been turned off by the insults.

Our source claims that Stacey reads the comments and becomes very upset. Joe is being very supportive, but being well-known doesn’t always make her feel good, and she struggles with that.
Stacey still “finds it difficult to be criticised,” according to reports that she claimed last year that she had “made peace” with trolls and found them “hilarious.” While hubby Joe is attempting to be a beacon of support, he hopes it will all “blow over.”
Our source continues, “She just needs to remember that she’s done really well for herself, but she just takes it all very personally.” She’s just trying to get through it at this point, and Joe is attempting to calm the waters down.
Last month, Stacey publicly expressed concern after she was trolled for posting affiliate links – posts she said she earns a “very small commission” from – on her Instagram account.
She acknowledged that some of her followers had “upsetted” her, adding that she would stop posting the links if it “really offends” people.
She attacked a troll in June, calling her “horrible” and saying she “couldn’t get away from it” despite the fact that she had tried to ignore it. She continued, “Truly, I feel bad for cruel people.”
Stacey’s career has gone from strength to strength since she won over the public on the 2009 series of The X Factor, before going on to be crowned Queen of the Jungle on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! the following year.
Currently her profile is higher than ever, with five series of her hit BBC makeover show, Sort Your Life Out, under her belt, and her and Joe’s fly-on-the-wall reality show, Stacey & Joe, still going strong.
The Essex-based actress is reported to be worth a staggering £7.3 million earlier this year, but despite her considerable success, down-to-earth Stacey is struggling with the most recent backlash and has reportedly been attacking Joe, 43, in order to make matters worse.
Joe is “very calming,” according to our source, but Stacey can sometimes get upset and Joe is the first to stand by her. He is trying to explain that it isn’t all that bad, but reading the comments makes you feel bad. Stacey takes it very personally.
Stacey has also grown popular on social media thanks to her arts and crafts videos and “tap to tidy” clips, which include her successful TV career and mother to Leighton, 13, Lex, 6, Rose, 4, and Belle, 2, who she shares with Joe and Zachary, both of whom are from previous relationships.
Her whopping 6.1 million Instagram followers have helped her secure lucrative brand deals with retail heavyweights including ASDA, In The Style and Primark. But her success has come at a price and, sadly, the star can no longer rely on her former best friend, fellow influencer Mrs Hinch, after they reportedly fell out over business rivalries.
Sophie Hinchliffe and Stacey and Mrs. Hinchliffe first got together in 2019 and are now best friends. and Sophie, 35, was even a bridesmaid at Stacey and Joe’s wedding in July 2022. But despite social media sensation Sophie appearing on Sort Your Life Out the following year, the pair haven’t been seen together since 2023 and have stopped sharing pictures of one another online.
Stacey and Stacey initially bonded after helping the “cleanfluencer” deal with her overnight fame, including dealing with trolls.
Mum-of-three Sophie opened up about the beginning of their friendship by saying, “One day I received a message from this amazing woman, merely asking me if I’m okay.
She simply knew I wasn’t, she said. I messaged her and asked her how she handled being in the public eye with a newborn.
“And what she said to me was, ‘Right, I’m coming round for a cuppa!’ A cuppa?! I couldn’t believe it! Stacey Solomon in my house?”
She continued, describing her new friend as “just a normal person and a mother trying her best,” and stated that speaking with Stacey made her “ready to face this public eye.”
However, their relationship didn’t last, and it has been reported that Stacey’s online conflicts caused by her and her new job.
It doesn’t seem all that promising, even though our source wants the two to reconcile, not least because Stacey could use a shoulder right now.
Our source claims that Stacey has more on her plate than she should be worrying about Mrs. Hinch right now.
Perhaps Sophie is the recipient of the same unwavering support that Stacey did to her years ago?
