Stacey Solomon marks huge six-figure achievement as she adds to her incredible £7million fortune
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STACEY Solomon's new business venture is booming - adding to her whopping £7million fortune. The Loose Women panelist and mum-of-five announced a major new career move in 2023, and told fans: "I'm starting a whole new chapter in my life." Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Stacey Solomon has marked a huge six-figure achievement as she adds to her incredible £7million fortune Credit: Instagram 5 The mum of five boosts her earnings through a variety of sources Credit: Instagram 5 Yet it is haircare brand REHAB that has accelerated her fortune over the past two years Credit: Instagram All-woman founded haircare brand REHAB captured Stacey's attention years ago - but she told how she had taken the surprise decision to become part of the team. The Sort Your Life Out anchor, 35, invested her own cash into small haircare brand REHAB, owning a third of the firm in doing so. Now sources have told MailOnline the all-female business has reached a six figure milestone which has seen them "making millions" in the sector. Stacey, along with business partners Anastasia and Vicky, is also seeing their popularity "expanding." REHAB has also been hailed the fastest-growing beauty brand on the FEBE 100 list for 2025, in yet another boost for the trio. The collection has now expanded into bodycare products as well as haircare as it expands its offering further. Its Instagram page now reads: "It's time to REHAB. Your hair and body." BUSINESS BABE Stacey first revealed her latest career project in a lengthy message on social media. At the time, she gushed to fans: "I can't put into words how incredible it feels to say that I am going to start a whole new chapter in my life championing incredible women in business. "I see so many talented people day in day out working so hard to achieve their dreams and it's not easy out there. Stacey Solomon hits back at cruel troll who branded her a 'horse mouth' "I can't wait to give my absolute all to Rehab and take it to the places it deserves to be." REHAB was founded by two female best friends who say they were "trying to keep up with multiple jobs, children, and their London based social lives". Describing themselves on REHAB's website, they said: "Busy women with a single mission - transform tired hair to its full healthy, glossy potential." Stacey presents BBC's Sort Your Life Out as well as being a panellist on Loose Women. Stacey Solomon's career so far Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers' screens for over a decade. Let's take a look back at her career. The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the 'Girls' category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs. I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I'm A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I'm A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash - who'd won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff. Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019. Loose Women (2016 - present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012. Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants' living spaces after removing clutter. CASHING IN Back in April, The Sun exclusively revealed the X Factor alum was raking in £57K a month. Her performing arts firm, Key Maps Entertainments, which funnels all of her earnings, has filed new accounts which lay bare just how rich Stacey really is. The figures mean that Stacey is taking home a tidy £8,270 a DAY. Stacey first set up the firm in 2012 in order to disclose all her financial earnings. In 2014, it was reported that she had banked a more modest £100,000 over the previous two years. The ITV and BBC darling managed to achieve the major figure largely thanks to her TV endeavours including her NTA-winning show Sort Your Life Out as well as her brand new reality show with her husband Joe Swash. But being on the small screen isn't the only way she's has topped up her bank balance. Stacey has helped to improve her massive fortune thanks to countless brand and endorsement deals. She has worked alongside Asda, Jet2, In The Style and Primark in order to keep her earnings rising year on year. 5 She also fronts award-winning TV show Sort Your Life Out Credit: BBC

Don't let the Neil Gaiman accusations ruin Netflix's best fantasy show
'We do not choose to be created, nor do we choose how we are made.' In the first season of The Sandman on Netflix, these words are uttered by Lord Morpheus (Tom Sturridge), otherwise known as Dream. In the context of the show, Dream is referring to everyone's lack of agency in their inception. It's essentially a slightly pretentious way of saying 'you can't help where you come from'. Going into season 2, Morpheus's words feel especially apt due to the large shadow cast over the show by its co-creator, Neil Gaiman. The 64-year-old fantasy author, who wrote the comics The Sandman is based on, stands accused of sexual misconduct by eight women. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Gaiman has denied the allegations. 'I'm far from a perfect person,' he wrote in a statement shared on his website in January. 'But I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video However, following the allegations, which Gaiman vehemently denies, The Sandman's second season has been marred by its association with the once beloved author. Which is where I come into this story. You see, The Sandman is a story that means an awful lot to me, even now following Gaiman's fall from glory. The Sandman, with its philosophical musings on the nature of change, has always tickled my pseudo-intellectual fancy, and as a gloomy pale guy with dark hair with a preference for long coats, I've always felt a certain kinship with Dream. It's perhaps unsurprising, then, that I approached the second season of Morpheus's adventures with a strange mixture of excitement and dread. I couldn't wait to see the story I loved again, but also, I was aware the spectre of Gaiman would linger over the show, like a bad dream you can't wake up from. Of course, before we begin, I must mention Gaiman's alleged victims and how important it is that their stories are heard. This, at the end of the day, is a TV show, and their experiences matter far more than any Netflix series. If, after you read their testimony, you decide that the Sandman season 2 isn't for you, then I completely understand. As for me? Do the accusations levelled against Gaiman spoil the series? Thankfully, no, given there's so much more to the series than one man, although they do mar it somewhat. In my opinion, The Sandman season two is every bit as beguiling, bold and brilliant as the first, managing to somehow elevate the source material. But what makes the series so good? Well, there are three elements as far as I'm concerned. The first is the spectacular visuals. The Sandman, by its very nature, deals with the ethereal and the ephemeral. It's testament to the incredible skill and dedication of the show's art departments then, that they make the impossible seem possible without rendering it mundane. Across the series, you'll visit gorgeous locales and realms beyond comprehension, yet they all feel as tangible as your local neighbourhood. Similarly, the various gods, demons, and other ghoulies and goblins aren't uncanny CGI monsters; they feel like living, breathing people you might meet on your commute (although if you've ever met a hobgoblin on your bus to work, we feel sorry for you). A large part of that comes down to the second part of the show I want to praise: the cast. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, in the cast is fantastic, and I can't think of a single performance that took me out of the show. I can't lie that does make reviewing the series a bit tricky as I can't praise everyone involved, but I can say it's those playing the Endless who I found most impressive. Playing the literal embodiment of fundamental forces can't be easy, yet Kirby (formerly known as Kirby Howell-Baptiste) as Death, Mason Alexander Park as Desire, Adrian Lester as Destiny, and Barry Sloane as Destruction are simply sensational. If I had to call out anyone for a special prize, though, it would be Esmé Creed-Miles as Dream's younger sister, Delirium. Delirium, by her unpredictable nature, can be a hard character to like, but Esmé makes her the most relatable of the Endless, even giving Tom a run for his money. Speaking of which, Tom is magnificent as Dream, and Morpheus feels less like a character he's actually obligated to play and more like a role he was born to bring to life. Of course, even Tom, with all his prodigious acting talent, would be nothing without a script to read, and it's here that I think Sandman season two is at its strongest. The writing is simply brilliant, it's stripped-back synthesis of all Gaiman's best ideas, with the comic's occasionally ponderous pacing banished to the nether realm of bad TV. I know there has been speculation that The Sandman is ending early due to the allegations against Gaiman, but I promise you, after watching the show, the pacing feels incredibly natural and far better thought out than what we got in the comics. Sadly, though, we must now address the elephant in the room: Gaiman. As much as I tried to dismiss the man from my mind, his fingerprints are all over the show. The show makes effective use of his great ideas, making changes to trim some elements that seem less savoury in light of the allegations against him, yet this is still his story at the end of the day. As such, I felt a queasiness during the show's first story arc, where we learn Dream effectively abused a woman who dared to try and leave him, something made worse by Morpheus looking like an idealised version of the writer. More Trending It's icky and there's some subtext there I didn't quite like. Yet ultimately, I really enjoyed The Sandman season two, and to take this back to the opening quote, Dream can't help who made him. So maybe we shouldn't let the circumstances of his creation rob us of arguably the best fantasy series Netflix has ever made. The Sandman season two is available to stream now on Netflix Got a story?
