Stacey Solomon has thanked fans

Stacey Solomon has kept fans updated as she travelled to Italy as part of an exciting step in her career. The Loose Women panellist has been busy in recent months preparing for the launch of her own beauty product.

The product is a shimmer hair and body mist that hydrates and leaves skin “glowing” and hair “gleaming”, the official Instagram account of Rehab, the company that Stacey co-owns has already amassed close to 210,000 followers.

Stacey visited Lake Como where the the Rehab factory is located, to launch the new shimmer spray. Sharing a post to social media, the ITV star shared her appreciation for the opportunity as she wrote: “Thank you Lake Como what a dream come true.

“To visit our @rehabyourhair (my brand) sunshine spritz factory & launch our shimmer spray, what a beautiful beautiful city. With the most breathtaking views everywhere you look.

“I feel so lucky. And so proud of how far Rehab has come. From Vicky & Lulu’s garages to Lake Como. Thank you from the bottom of all of our hearts to every single one of you who have supported rehab from the very beginning and are still championing it now.”

She continued: “It means the absolute world to us and we wouldn’t even have the chance to even make our products in places with the special technologies we need without your support.”

Alongside the caption, Stacey shared a series of photos from her time in Italy, including wearing a swimsuit as she posed with the bottle of shimmer spray. Other photos showed her enjoying the sights of Lake Como and spending time with friends.

Fans and friends of Stacey showed their support in the comment section. Former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt wrote “wow”, with two love heart eye emojis. Another comment was “Living her best life. We love to see it.”

Another comment highlighted how proud the Sort Your Life Out star should be, saying: “Absolutely gorgeous, such a special trip. You must all be so proud of what you’ve achieved for @rehabyourhair.”

Further responses from fans were “stunning photos, stunning Stacey, stunning brand” and “one complaint! A week earlier launch and I could have taken on holiday, never mind. Next time!”

Stacey became a co-owner and business partner in the haircare brand Rehab in 2023. The brand was founded in 2022 by Vicky Ellis and Anastasia Tozer.

After the news was announced that Stacey was joining the team two years ago, Vicky and Anastasia said: “We want to thank each and every one of you for believing in our small brand. We are just two best friends that had a dream to create hassle-free, eco-conscious hair care products that make your hair fabulous and your routines easier.

“To announce that Stacey has joined REHAB. means the world to us. Her dedication to championing women, standing for products she believes in and providing a light of positivity with her platform are all the things REHAB. stands for.”

Off-screen, the 35-year-old has had a hard time in recent weeks as she issued a sad update about her dog, Teddy. In April, Teddy underwent emergency treatment. The dog had a predisposed condition the family were unaware of as he was a rescue.

The former X Factor singer has since revealed the dog will always need additional care, but the family remain confident he will continue to enjoy a high quality of life.

She told her 6.1m Instagram followers: “So many of you asking. After his vet appointment it looks likely that Teddy will never get the feeling back in his legs & will need our help with urinating & assisted walks and physio forever.

“But the good news is…. the vet was so pleased with how happy Teddy was & how well we are doing his physio & managing his bladder so me & Joe were really happy with that & felt extremely proud.”
