How old is Stacey Solomon?

Stacey was born on October 4th 1998 and celebrated her 35th birthday in 2024. Despite her young years, Stacey has been through a lot, admitting she felt "out of control" when she was 17-years-old.

Wiring in her book Tap To Tidy, Stacey wrote: "At a young age - I was just 17 when I became pregnant - I became a mum myself.

"That meant there was me, my brother, my sister, my baby son, Zachary, and my mum all living in one small house, with no space to be messy. As such a young mum, I felt completely out of control and out of my depth.

"I had no idea what the h*** I was doing; it felt like all my decisions had been made for me and there was nothing I could do about that."
