The popular telly face, who scooped top prize for her life makeover show Sort Your Life Out in the National Television Awards’ Factual Entertainment category, was pictured on a rare outing with her 16-year-old lad, Zachary, at the glitzy ceremony, held last night at the 02 in London.

And The X Factor contestant turned Loose Women panellist revealed how lucky she felt to have her son by her side for the show, after previously revealing she feared missing too much of her older childrens’ lives.

Taking to Instagram, Stacey shared a series of photos of the pair modelling their NTAs outfits by a large tree at their famous home, Pickle Cottage.

She wrote: “On the way to the NTAs with Zachary who has been by my side in this crazy journey since the very beginning. I wouldn’t be who I am if it weren’t for you Zach. I’m so proud to be with you on such a special night, where I’ve been nominated for best present & best factual with my @sortyourlifeout family. I don’t believe I’d be on this path if it wasn’t for having you. My rock, since forever. to the moon & back forever…” [sic]

And as she accepted her award, Stacey took to the stage and gave Zachary a shoutout while paying tribute to everyone behind Sort Your Life Out.

Back in May this year, Stacey said she wanted to reduce her telly work to be there for her family more.

She said: “I think I’m at a point in my life where I recognise that I’ve been really busy for his life, and his life is at a really important point, and my second son will get to that point before I know it.

“And then I’ve got these three babies. I don’t want to miss what I potentially feel like I missed with my older children. And I want to be there for my older children, who I think need me now more than ever. I’ve been battling with that in my head.”
