Stacey Solomon apologises as she says 'I've got news' and responds to pregnancy speculation
by Jessica Sansome · Manchester Evening NewsStacey Solomon has apologised to her fans in advance of her upcoming social media post as she revealed she 'had news' - and quickly denied any pregnancy speculation.
The Loose Women star appeared apprehensive and in disbelief as she opened up to her loyal online following about a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that she refused to accept was real until Wednesday (November 13).
Stacey, 35, took to her Instagram Story with a string of videos in which she told fans she'd been given the opportunity to fly out to Las Vegas and see Adele in one of her final shows at Caesars Palace. Weekends with Adele is the singer's first concert residency and she revealed in August that she will take a lengthy break after her last show later this month.

Speaking directly to her more than six million followers, Stacey said: "I have got some news... I'm not pregnant, don't worry. Not again! But I am doing something massive tomorrow that I could have never forseen myself doing or thought I'd say yes to. I kept saying to myself I'll deal with it when the time comes but the time is 100% here. It's tomorrow! I feel like, 'Oh my God, this is happening! I've got to go through with it!"
The Sort Your Life Out host went on to explain that she doesn't usually head on brand trips, in which a brand pays for a celebrity or influencer to go on a trip or to an event and promote them or their products. But when Space NK got in touch with the offer to see Adele, Stacey couldn't refuse.
"I don't usually go on PR trips because I'm such a home girl. I'm such a home person, even my sisters and my best friends will try and drag me on a girls' holiday every single year and I'll be like, I just want to be at home with the ducks and the dogs and the kids. If I get a day off, this is where I want to be.

"I want to be at home with all my home comforts and my family, I just don't like going anywhere unless it's with them. I also feel fuilty about it. I don't know why I'm like that, I don't know if it's imposter syndrome but I feel guilty about going on PR trips..."
Stacey went on to say that Adele has been a "massive inspiration" to her over the years and that she's "looked up to her" and so didn't want to miss the opportunity to see her perform live, potentially for the last time. "I just felt so lucky and so grateful so I'm going to Vegas to see Adele.
"I still feel apprehensive and a bit nervous about it. I just do whenever I leave the kids, even if I'm just going to Manchester! But it's so not me as well. Even Joe [Swash - her husband] said, 'This is so not like you. I can't believe you're going to Vegas on a wild trip to see Adele!' And I was like, 'Me either!"
Stacey ended up being able to take her sisters and friends along with her, including her brand REHAB's two co-founders to make up for the missed girls' trips over the years. She later added: "I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I'll bring you with me, I hope you enjoy it and I apologise in advance for all the Viva Las Vegas content that's about to be on my Instagram. I love you all. I don't even think anyuone cares about this information but it's a big deal for me and I'm really excited."
