Stacey Solomon was left visibly shattered in a raw, unscripted moment that stopped fans in their tracks, her voice cracking as she admitted, “I held it together for everyone else… but inside, I was falling apart.” Those watching say the pain on her face was impossible to miss as tears spilled and the truth she’d been quietly carrying finally surfaced, with Stacey confessing, “Some days I smile, some days I survive — this was one of the hard ones.” Social media flooded instantly, supporters saying they felt her hurt through the screen, calling it “too real” and “heart-punching,” while insiders whispered that the emotional weight had been building for weeks behind closed doors. As Stacey steadied herself, she delivered the line that broke hearts nationwide — “I’m strong, but I’m still human” — turning a fleeting moment into a devastating reminder that even the brightest, warmest faces can be hiding storms no one ever sees.
Stacey Solomon was left “devastated” in the latest episode of her docuseries, Stacey and Joe.
The BBC programme, which is in its second series, follows the presenter and husband Joe Swash as they juggle their busy careers with their five children, two dogs, chickens, ducks and array of other responsibilities at Pickle Cottage.
The latest edition saw Ms Solomon, 36, navigating a tricky period as the family’s beloved dog Teddy recovered from major surgery.
The cocker spaniel wasn’t out of the woods yet, with medics urging the TV personality to keep an eye on him, advising if he didn’t regain feeling in his legs they may have to consider other options.

A happy distraction came from the presenter being nominated for two BAFTA awards for her other BBC series, Sort Your Life Out.
Ms Solomon enjoyed preparing for the big night and even had her wedding dress altered to re-use the special gown.
However, she was unfortunately snubbed as Rob Rinder, Rylan Clark and Joe Lycett were instead awarded the gongs.
As she was filmed leaving the ceremony with Mr Swash, the presenter looked at the cameras and commented: “boo!”

“Don’t want to talk about it, we’ll talk about it in the car,” Mr Swash commented.
Later, Ms Solomon called her dad during the drive back, explaining: “I lost them both, dad.”
Speaking to the cameras on the documentary, she recalled: “It was devastating when we didn’t win.”
In a candid admission, she added: “And I know you’re not supposed to say that, and people are like, ‘oh, lose gracefully.’ And I think, well why? I was gutted.”
When her eldest son Zachary took the phone to chat to his mum, he quipped: “I think you should just take me next time, I don’t think Joe’s very lucky.”
“Yeah, you’re my lucky charm Zach, I think it’s Joe. I think it’s Joe that makes me lose every time,” the mother-of-five replied.
When she got back home, her dad David quipped: “I know you didn’t get the award…But you got a beehive instead,” referencing the fact she’d started her journey of bee-keeping prior to attending the ceremony.
Comforting his daughter, David remarked: “Well done, well done. Listen, you were nominated, that’s the most important thing.”

A doubtful Ms Solomon replied: “I was robbed, I tell you,” to which her dad joked: “I mean Joe Lycett is funny though, isn’t he?”
Thankfully, Teddy seems to be progressing with recovery, with Ms Solomon sharing positive updates on her social media since the episode, which was filmed in May.

Taking to Instagram recently, she shared a clip of the dog, stating: “Thank you for always asking after Teddy. It really means a lot. He’s such a happy boy. He’s such a lovely boy.
“He will never be able to use his legs again, but he’s getting used to the wheelchair and, just, yeah. You just get on with it, don’t you, Teddy?”
