Stacey Solomon defended by fans who 'feel sorry' after sharing nerves and admitted being scared she'll 'get it wrong'

Stacey Solomon has left fans saying they 'can't cope' after she shared her 'nerves' and why she's 'scared' that she'll 'get it wrong'. The Loose Women star was sharing her honest feelings as she showed fans her latest piece of work.

She has teamed up once again with Primark for a new kids' clothing collection. Stacey, 33, has been collaborating with the high-street retailer since 2018 when she released a womenswear collection which at the time encouraged shoppers to embrace their natural bodies as the campaign images were all totally un-airbrushed.

And it wasn't long before Stacey was asked to design items for children as her own family grew after she met and fell in love with her now-husband Joe Swash, who she met when she was crowned Queen of the Jungle on Im A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here in 2010.

Now, years down the line, and Stacey has shared how she still worries before releasing a new collection. Sharing an adorable picture of her baby daughter Belle to her Instagram Story wearing a pink babygrow and matching tutu, the mum-of-five wrote: "Happy Friday. Today is a very exciting day...

"I can honestly say I get more nervous each time I get to do this because it's such a dream come true and I'm always scared I might get it 'wrong' or I don't know, just fail I suppose." She added: "But I'm so so proud and grateful for the chance I will always give it my everything."

The Sort Your Life Out host then shared a video of herself talking about the collection before showing some of the items and their spring designs. But her fans were soon left rushing to gush in the comments when she posted a string of snaps of her children wearing the clothes on their recent break to Abu Dhabi.

Earlier this month, Stacey and Joe, who wed in a private ceremony in the garden of their Pickle Cottage home, whisked themselves and their children off for their first holiday in four years, just two months after welcoming their third child together.

The first picture showed little Belle being held by her older brother Leihgton while Zachary, who are both Stacey's sons from her previous relationships, held onto younger sister Rose, two. Meanwhile, three-year-old Rex stood in the middle and gave a double thumbs up to the camera as they all sported matching orange-patterned shirts and shorts.

Other images showed them wearing different items from Stacey's collection with Primark, including the three boys posing in light blue t-shirts and matching shorts while a sleeping Rose and Belle were soon sporting matching checked rompers. "Forever Proud," Stacey started the caption of her post to her millions of followers.

"It honestly gives me goosebumps every time I get the chance to make a collection and then see it in real life on the pickles. @Primark AD is my home and making these collections is a dream come true. As always the pickles had a big input into the colours and designs and they LOVED the oranges this year!

"I think this Spring Summer collection might be my favourite one EVER. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the love, kindness & support you have shown my Primark ranges, without you I would never have had the chance to do it all again. I know I sound like a broken record but it really is an absolute dream come true and I cannot wait to see your pickles in it."

She then issued a bit of disclaimer, as well as shared a sweet detail, to those with young children who will soon be searching for the collection. Stacey wrote: "Zachary has outgrown the age group but still asks for a sample in his size because he loves it."

Influencer and Stacey's bestie Sophie Hinchliffe, aka Mrs Hinch, was among the first to comment, writing: "Rose with her little toes up in pic 4. Adorable pics! Beautiful clothes! Congratulations my darling." And fans were also rushing to post in the comments section.

@shannonnoon95 wrote: "Nah I cah cope!" @prettyinpinksquares said: "Ahhh congratulations I love it all such much!! Rose is always a vibe." @normapickles commented: "Just love this. It reminds me of The Sound of Music." @cleaning_with_mario replied; "This is beyond cute. Biggest congratulations on this fantastic collection Stacey."

@fall_withgrace shared: "AHH these are just beautiful. Well done girl." @sammybella08 typed: "I love that your older boys want to join in with the matching fun. Just shows what great kids they are." @rachshomelife added: "Such a beautiful collection! Lovely photos."

And they were also jumping to Stacey's defence when one follower said: "I feel for the older boys." And another posted: "You re lovely...but I do think for your older sons sake mixy matchy outfits could be put on a back burner." While a third wrote: "Those big kids must be embarrassed surely Stacey how could u make them wear um."

@thepinktribble said in support of Stacey: "They are not forced to get involved; they help design, and seem perfectly happy. The caption even says that Zach asks for a sample in his size. Go feel sorry for somebody who really needs it." @karrielou25 responded: "They look very happy, feel happy for them."

@skye_lois_x shared: "Read the caption - she says he [Zachary] has outgrown the range but asks for a sample in it for himself." @dottys.doodles added: "It clearly says in the post that Zach loves it!! I think they look great."
