She said she ‘had to get out’
Stacey Solomon previously revealed she forked out a huge amount to “get her life back” in a candid confession.
The TV star, 36, shot to fame as a contestant on the X Factor in 2009. Despite not winning, Stacey – who is on a new episode of Stacey & Joe tonight (October 7) – has gone on to have a stellar career.
However, according to the mum-of-five, after signing a contract with the X Factor after the show, she felt “trapped” and wanted to get out. So much so, that it cost her a hefty amount…

Stacey Solomon on feeling ‘trapped’

“I was given a contract and I signed it. I’d have signed anything. They could have told me to shave my head and I’d have said: ‘Pass me the razor,’” Stacey told Fabulous magazine, as Digital Spy reports.
“I would have done anything because I was just so grateful to be there and to be given an opportunity,” she shared.

Revealing she had had enough of being “tied in” Stacey resorted to legal action – with the publication claiming it resulted in a £100,000 legal battle.

The Loose Women star went on to admit that it is “lovely to have money.” However, she noted that “means nothing when you feel trapped somewhere you don’t want to be”.
