STACEY Solomon has hit back after she was shamed for going on a cheap and cheerful family holiday.
The Loose Women panelist headed to her Instagram Stories to document the fun-filled stay Haven Kent Coast Holiday Park with husband Joe Swash, 42, and their brood – where guests can stay for just £49 a night.
After arriving home, Stacey, who is a multi millionaire, addressed comments about her trip, saying: “There must be some kind of stigma around holiday parks because so many of you messaged saying you couldn’t believe that’s where we’d chosen to go!”
Stacey documented her stay and revealed the Solomon/ Swash clan had a brilliant time there, so much show the kids “cried their eyes out” when it was time to go – prompting them to book in for another night.
Stacey, 34, then claimed she was being “held hostage” by her kids with Joe, who include Rex, four, Rose, two, and one-year-old Belle.
The ITV favourite is also mum to Zachary, now 15, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships.
