Stacey Solomon has responded to backlash following her family holiday, telling people to “unfollow” her if they don’t like her content.

The Loose Women panellist has been on holiday with her family in Turkey for the past 10 days, and has regularly updated her followers with posts on Instagram.

“Our last day in paradise… ☀️🥲” wrote Stacey in one post, accompanied by a photo of her alongside husband Joe Swash. “The last ten days have been heaven and I don’t want it all to end 😭

“Spending time with my family is just the best thing in world. 🌎 And this place was just MAGICAL. Thank you for the memories @regnumcarya too the moon and back family 🤍 and we got a discount from our travel agent @trendingtravel on this hotel 🤍”

The Regnum Carya hotel can cost tens of thousands of pounds during the peak holiday season, and some fans took issue at the prices for the trip, with one user writing (via Metro): “How relatable a 47k holiday.”

“For me, the holiday/price isn't the issue. However...Stacey's "brand" has always been being ‘relatable’” wrote one user, later describing the post as “tone-deaf.” Another user echoed this sentiment, writing: “Sorry Stacy but an average family could not afford this hotel you are very lucky to be able to afford this.”

Stacey subsequently responded to the criticism via her Instagram Story, writing: “I’ll do a little holiday Q&A while I’m on my way to work tomorrow night so feel free to ask away. If me sharing our holiday doesn’t make you feel good then unfollow or just mute me or something.

“I love coming on here and sharing things so much and I love our community on here. All I ever want is to take you on the adventure with us and hopefully make you smile along the way,” she added.

Some followers did take Stacey’s side, with one user writing: “I cannot believe people are spending their saturday night pricing up staceys holiday. It has absolutely nothing to do with anyone else how they spend their money on their family. What a weird society we live in.”

Loose Women airs on weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
