Stacey Soloman fears 'career is finished' as fans slam BAFTA video rant (2025)

A source claims that Stacey Solomon is 'worried it could all end' as fans slam her emotional video following BAFTA snub.

A source has revealed that Stacey Soloman is "worried her career is finished" as the TV star is hit with backlash from fans after posting an emotional video on social media. This post followed the star not winning an award at the BAFTA TV awards earlier in the week.

In recent weeks the stars seemed to be aligning for the TV sweetheart. Along with the renewal for a sixth season of her BBC show Sort Your Life Out, she has also come out with a new reality series with her husband Joe Swash that viewers have been lapping up.

However, things have gone downhill after the 35-year-old took to Instagram the morning after the BAFTA TV awards show to admit that she was "devastated" that Sort Your Life Out didn’t win, reports the Mirror.

In the controversial video, Stacey became emotional while talking about missing out on the award. She said: "I’ll be honest, I’m devastated. I’m not handling it very well, not taking it very gracefully." Standing in her garden, she also added: "I'm so gutted for our team."

The mum-of-five went on to say: "It’s not an easy show to make… the team works so hard to make it happen, and they so deserve a Bafta. People think making TV is really easy, and it’s not… We all pack up a house, and within seven days, that house is packed into vans, over to a warehouse, laid out on the floor.

"We go through it meticulously… We donate, we recycle, we resell, put it all back and try and put in systems to help families move forward."

Some fans praised Stacey for being "refreshingly honest" and have argued that the Loose Women presenter was simply "disappointed for her team" and that the video was "hardly a rant".

However, others weren't as impressed by the video, with some telling her to "get a grip" and to stop being a "bad loser". Some also claimed that Stacey has "got too big for her boots" and is "showing her true colours" in contrast to her usual "wholesome" demeanour.

While Stacey has not publicly spoken out since her BAFTA video, a source claims that the star is worried "it could all be over".

They added: "The negative comments really upset her, she takes them to heart. She never wants to be seen as ungrateful, because she’s not. She had a really humble upbringing and everything she does, she does to give her kids the best opportunities possible. They are what drives her.

"She has a sort of inferiority complex, like imposter syndrome, partly because of where she’s come from. Don’t forget, she became famous on The X Factor and she’s seen so many other people from shows like that just disappear over the years. So the fear of ‘Could I lose it all too? Could it all be over?’’ is always there to some extent."

The source continued: "She’s a really hard worker and gives her all to everything, so it’s devastating when it doesn’t pay off, and it understandably makes her worry. But she’s one of telly’s biggest success stories who always wants to keep the wheel turning, so she won’t stop doing what she does best."

Stacey has revealed that she battled imposter syndrome in the past. In January 2023, she expressed her constant fear of "losing it all" during the cost-of-living crisis as she reflected on having "nothing".

At the time she said: "My dad is from a background where he had nothing, like literally nothing, so we could have nothing again. Even to this day I think, ‘Well, we’re comfortable now but something’s going to go wrong at some point, it won’t stay like this forever.’ It’s inherent."

She added: "You’re constantly thinking, ‘I’d better hold on to that’ and ‘I’d better not waste that’ because in a few months’ time, I could be on the street."

Fanning the flames of the star's fans, Stacey's sister Jemma also shared a post on Instagram slamming the BAFTA judges. She said: "If only it was a public vote, I think things would have been a little different."

If this wasn't enough trouble, Sort Your Life Out has also recently come under fire as some viewers have criticised the show for failing to acknowledge the emotional toll of hoarding. After a recent episode, some fans revealed that they felt the team was "too harsh".

However, Stacey has insisted that the show is about empowering families and not judging them. She said: "It’s so hard to let someone into your house when you’re going through a difficult time."
