Loose Women bosses have revealed why Stacey Solomon wasn’t in a group photo celebrating all of ITV’s female presenters of daytime programmes.
Taking to Instagram to share the snap, Loose Women and This Morning penned: “After almost two years apart, the female hosts of Daytime are coming together to celebrate International Women’s Day!”
The stunning snap to celebrate International Women’s Day 2022 featured the likes of Lorraine, Holly Willoughby, Alison Hammond, Kate Garraway and the entire cast of Loose Women – apart from one much-loved panellist – and another few presenters.
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot who was missing and took to the comments section to quiz the account why she wasn’t in the group photo.

A Loose Women representative told The Sun: “Stacey was still on maternity leave when the shoot took place.”
Stacey has been on maternity leave since October, when she and partner Joe Swash welcomed their first girl – baby Rose.
It has since been confirmed that she will be returning to the Loose Women panel next Friday (March 4).
