Stacey Solomon admits to Christmas 'dread' in emotional video ahead of heartbreaking first

Stacey Solomon has admitted feeling 'dread' in the lead-up to Christmas as this year also marks a heartbreaking first. The Sort Your Life Out presenter took to Instagram to share a video of her and her youngest son, Rex, headed out into the garden of their sprawling family home, named Pickle Cottage.

The pair were heading off, with the family's two adorable pet pooches Peanut and Teddy in tow, to lay flowers for their beloved dog Theo who died in 2021. Stacey was left heartbroken when she told fans after Christmas that 11-year-old Theo passed away in her arms surrounded by the young family on Boxing Day.

Paying tribute at the time, Stacey spoke lovingly about her pet, sharing pictures, videos, and memories of Theo with herself and her children, Rose and Rex, who she shares with her husband Joe Swash, and her elder son Zachary, and Leighton, from previous relationships.
