Stacey Solomon slams ‘bone idle’ lazy husband and fails to hide her true feelings towards guest on Sort Your Life Out
STACEY Solomon was pushed to the limit and failed to hide her true feelings towards a guest during last night’s episode of Sort Your Life Out.
The Loose Women star and mum-of-five slammed a man, who fans described as ‘bone idle’, after she was tasked with helping a family in Scotland manage the vast clutter that had built up in their home while they raised three children.
During the latest episode of the BBC show, we saw a mother named Charlie reveal that her husband Keith was tasked with looking after the household and their three kids while she worked full-time.
However, it soon became clear that Keith did very little housework whilst raising their three children, meaning the house had become overwhelmed with toys, mess and clothes.
Charlie returned to work just weeks after welcoming their third child, and presenter Stacey quickly became concerned about the environment the family were growing up in.
As Stacey and her team made their way through the house, she admitted that she was ‘genuinely scared’, as she told viewers: “We have opened the loft, we have opened the three sheds, and every single room in the house is full.
“I don’t know if we’re promising too much. I am genuinely scared for this one, I’m nervous.”
While emptying the house, the team found 131 pairs of shoes, 29 tins of paint, 30 remote controls, 22 toothbrushes, and 500 items of baby clothes.
Alongside that, Keith owned 144 t-shirts, and when Stacey asked him if he wanted to know what she thought, he replied: “Not really.”
But Stacey appeared irritated by the comment, and clapped back: “I think that if we go to between 12 and 15 that is more than enough t-shirts.”
While going through Keith’s clothes, she pulled out one that said: ‘Your mum would love me.’
The father then informed her: “That was my pulling t-shirt but it never worked.”
Stacey struggled to hide her disgust and said: “Come on Keith, you’re better than that.”
Keith then opened up to viewers, and admitted that he was forced to declare bankruptcy after losing his job during the recession.
As a result, he now invests his money in collectible coins, hoping that the silver content will appreciate in value over time.
Stacey’s co-host Dilly was later forced to step in as Keith tried to stop the team from throwing away the children’s clothes.
She firmly explained: “Keith, remember, you’re returning to work next week, and you won’t have time to sort clothes every night after work.
“This is your chance to adjust your habits and realise that having fewer clothes per child makes it easier to locate items.”
TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
In an attempt to defend himself, Keith said: “Charlie pretends she’s okay with it, but I know that a lot of the problems are me and it’s probably quite selfish.
“I know it’s causing a strain on her mentally and emotionally. It’s always hard to admit you need help with anything.”
Later in the episode, thanks to Stacey and her team, the family were thrilled with their home’s transformation, including a home office and a shared bedroom, as well as a big play area for the family to enjoy.
VIEWER REACTIONS
Viewers took to X, to share their thoughts on the situation, with one furiously branding the man ‘bone idle.’
One user claimed: “Keith is really testing even Stacey’s patience #sortyourlifeout; Stacey is ready to swing for him.”
Whilst someone else wrote: “He’s clearly trying his best but he could try harder. So she works 5 jobs, returning 12 weeks after giving birth… and he sits at home amongst all that s*** most of which is his.”
WELL-DESERVED WIN
The episode comes after Stacey earned a well-deserved win for her show Sort Your Life Out at the Royal Television Society Awards last night.
The Loose Women star took to Instagram just moments before the ceremony, as she penned: “Honoured. Off to the RTS awards because I have been nominated for a Royal Television Society award for “Best Presenter” & “Best popular Factual Show” for Sort Your Life Out.
“I haven’t said anything to anyone till tonight because I don’t expect to win any. But I can’t even tell you how bloomin’ proud I feel to even be considered for such a prestigious award!
“No matter what just being in the running is a real honour and I’m so proud of my whole SYLO family & so proud of us all & our hard work.”
Stacey went on to bag the award Best Popular Factual Show for her home revamp show at the ceremony – which took place at The Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
Stacey Solomon on Sort Your Life Out series two
Speaking ahead of the latest season, Stacey said, “I’m so happy that the team and I are back to share our favourite tips and tricks on decluttering, upcycling, tidying and being thrifty!
“I love that we get to help people transform their lives for the better, even just a little bit.
“Sort Your Life Out is about showing people that by decluttering your home, you can really make a positive impact on all areas of your life – including saving your hard-earned cash.
“It’s never about shaming people for holding on to their stuff, I definitely have a tendency to hang on to treasured items for longer than I probably should.”
Speaking about her win on Instagram, Stacey beamed: “We Won. Our First EVER award for sort your life out & my first ever award for my own tv show. And it’s a @royaltelevisionsociety award!!
“It’s only taken me 15 years, I don’t even know what to say. I definitely wasn’t ready for the speech.
“S.Y.L.O has such a huge place in my heart & there is nothing I love more than meeting people & being a part of changing their lives around.
“It is so special, and something I’ll never take for granted. Thank you to every single family who has welcomed us into your homes. You are the soul of the show.
“And to @declutterdollies @robert_bent_ & @mistercarrington you are my family & working with you is the absolute dream.
“And to every runner, researcher, member of production that work SO hard to make everything happen. I’ll forever be grateful for @bbciplayer & @optomen for believing in me to host @sortyourlifeout. Well done team SYLO to the moon & back gang.”
