The mum and son duo jetted away after rowing on TV in Stacey and Joe Swash's BBC series.
Taking to Instagram to share some snaps from their break away, Stacey penned an emotional caption.
Reflecting on spending two days with her son, she penned: "2 days with my Zach. Why are these the best pics ever? they make me so happy! Me & you Zachy."
She went on: "We went Pokemon hunting yesterday & today, it's something we've done for years & have never been to a proper city Go Fest.
"So for his birthday this year we got tickets & we have been counting down the days.
"Having a young adult son like Zach is just the absolute dream & spending time with just us two doesn't happen often but when it does my soul regenerates.
"To the moon & back Zach!
"BEST POKEMON TRIP EVER!"
In the snaps, the mum and son pairing could be seen with Pokemon characters, standing by the Eiffel Tower and posing by other tourist attractions while sightseeing.
Stacey's fans were quick to comment on the sweet post, with one person writing: "This is just the best, magical memories made x."

"Sweetest photos ever," said a second.
"Such special quality time with Zach , omg how tall he is," penned a third.
A fourth then wrote: "I love everything about this. How bloody gorgeous. You have raised the most wonderful young man."
While a fifth said: "He's growing in to such a handsome young man , he does you proud Stacey."
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.
Back in April, mum-of-five Stacey was left clashing with her eldest child Zach after he had a party that went on until 4am.
The scenes were aired as part of the opening episode of Stacey's BBC reality series which followed her family life with husband Joe Swash.
In the episiode, Stacey could be heard screaming at Zach and his pals in his room as she bellowed: "Right, it's not cool and it's not clever.
"I am happy you had a great time but the party is over!"
They continued to row over the time with Zach insisting his 4am bedtime had prevented him from waking up any earlier.
Stacey demanded that Zach take the bins out before "clearing up the bottom of the garden" from where he had his party.
Things then turned up a gear as Stacey added: "Shall I let the boys [Zach's friends] know that they are ready for their chores too?"
A fuming Zach spat back at his mum: "No! What are you doing - you're p***ing me off!"
Stacey then lost her cool as she raged: "If you swear at me one more time Zach - no, I'm not joking.
"No, just because there is people here doesn't mean I won't have that argument with you.
"No, you won't do that!"
Zach then replied that "no one cares" before walking off after the fiery confrontation.
Stacey welcomed Zach at the age of 17 and before she found fame on The X Factor.

I tested best supermarket wine dupes – Whispering Angel copy was delicious and only cost £13
IS it worth paying more for a bottle of well-known wine? Supermarket Aldi is currently selling its own offerings at up to 51 per cent less than popular brands. And it's not the only place you can get all the taste of posher plonks at a bargain price. 17 From celebrity pinks to cellar-worthy reds, here drinks expert Helena Nicklin gives us her pick of the best big-name wine dupes. Seek them out in stores to see if you can tell the difference when you are sipping. Brand: Whispering Angel, £22 Dupe: Screaming Devil Rosé, £12.97, Asda 17 WITH its excellent tongue-in-cheek name and at almost exactly half the price of the very famous and very pricey French pink, you know exactly where the plonk producers were aiming here. And the best bit is that it's not all about the great pun on the label as once it's in the glass this rosé is also very good to glug. Another Cotes de Provence like Whispering Angel, it hails from the south of France and just like the winged bottle, Asda's tribute has a similar elegant salmon-pink colour. With subtle peach and strawberry notes and a delightful salty tang, it's great stuff and slips down easily on a summery day. Rating: 4/5. Brand: Bread & Butter Chardonnay, £16 Dupe: Butter Side Up Chardonnay, £8.98, Asda 17 Blind tasting some of football biggest names to see who is the GOAT on and off the pitch WINE drinkers love the Bread & Butter-branded bottle of Californian white because it does exactly what it says on the tin – which is to offer an unapologetically bold, toasty and buttery chardonnay. But all of that doesn't come in cheap with the Napa Valley tipple retailing at not far off £20 a bottle. This Asda tribute aims to do the same and the clue is in the name as to where the influence for its flavours come from. It also hails from America's most famous wine region. But it's a shame this Californian copycat slightly misses the mark when it comes to balance, as the vanilla here feels a bit fake. My advice would be to drink it very cold or it can feel a tad sickly. Old fashioned but still great for those who love that creamy, comfort pudding- style of white wine. Rating: 2/5. Brand: Villa Antinori Toscana Rosso, £20 Dupe: Toscana Rosso, £7.25, Aldi ALDI knows a thing or two about creating decent dupes, and for this wine tribute it has gone properly classy with a more subtle version of a famous, posh Italian tipple that would set you back more than double the money. Luckily their version retails at a far more affordable price. It's made with a blend of international grapes including Tuscany's own sangiovese, which is the grape used to make chianti. This tribute tipple gives spiced, sour cherry and cocoa powder vibes like the original expensive Toscano Rosso, but with a tad more fruitiness and not quite as much going on. Still, it's a great red, ideal for sipping with spag bol and pizza – and the money you'll have saved will pay for a whole basket of goodies. Rating: 4/5. Brand: Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc, £26.50 Dupe: Deluxe New Zealand Sauv Blanc, £8.49, Lidl THE famous Cloudy Bay white was the first to cause ripples with its fantastic branded Marlborough Sauvignon and I would say that it changed the wine world as a result. It became famous for a reason and certainly isn't a premium plonk you'd say no to. But it is very expensive even on a supermarket shelf and unfortunately for them, other producers are now catching up. That's good news for sippers on a budget though. This Lidl tribute tipple is exceptional for the price, giving you all the zesty citrus, cut grass and tropical notes you'd expect from high-end Cloudy Bay without being too much. In a taste test, this would give Cloudy Bay a real run for its money. Rating: 4/5. Brand: Louis Latour Bourgogne Pinot Noir, £21 Dupe: Tradition Pinot Noir, £7.99, Lidl FRANCE'S Burgundy region – which translates to Bourgogne in French – is the spiritual home of pinot noir, and Louis Latour is a big name in this field. A premium heritage with proper credibility and wine buff appeal, this name produces fine plonks and that means sipping one of these famous tipples will start from a high price base. At £21 a bottle it's seriously spendy even if it is one of their cheapest. This Lidl Burgundy is clearly a blend of lesser grapes from around the region but in my opinion that actually gives it a more accessible – if a bit rustic – juicy profile, with ripe, cherry spice. It looks the part, too. A top tribute for a fraction of the price. Rating: 3/5. Brand: Miraval Rosé, £20 Dupe: Monalie Rosé, £9.99, Lidl YOU have to hand it to Lidl for going all out with this Stars In Their Eyes-style blatant dupe of Brad Pitt's marvellous, Miraval pink wine. The bottle shape, label and capsule are all very familiar, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the A-lister vineyard's tipples. And to be fair it's not just a pretty packaging copycat, as the wine in the bottle is decent too. Another Cotes de Provence, just like Miraval, but for half the price of its more famous friend. This is equally dry and elegant, though perhaps a little less charming and less fruity. It might not be made by a star, but it's decidedly drinkable and looks posh. And for half the price, too. Rating: 3/5. Dupe: Coonawarra Barossa Cabernet, £6.69, Aldi THE uncanny likeness of this label from Aldi to the posh sip makes even wine experts like me look twice. The resemblance is certainly remarkable on the shelf. Australian brand Penfolds really sets the benchmark for premium shiraz from Down Under and its Max's cab sauv is something special. It's well worth treating yourself too, but at £22 a time it's hardly a budget bottle. This brilliantly blatant copy from Aldi does a great job with a fudgy, blackcurrant and eucalyptus-scented cabernet for an incredible £6.69. Okay, it hasn't quite got the same class and is a touch sweeter, but it's still cracking in its own right for the super-low price tag. And you can tell it's really from Barossa too, rather than being a generic, sugary blend. Rating: 5/5. Brand: Kylie Signature Rosé, £10 Dupe: Rosalie Rosé, £4.99, Aldi IF you squint, the squiggle on the label could be Kylie's autograph and Aldi's Rosalie also has a very similar-shaped bottle so you'd be forgiven for grabbing the copycat without realising. Kylie's vino is from the Languedoc region of France, however, and is a bit juicier and more generous than the prim and proper pinks of Provence, which is probably why it sells so well. The Rosalie is Provencal, but sadly that's not an upside as it proves why wine from here should never be this cheap-tasting, boggy and unfresh. A great dupe when it comes to doing a double take on the shelf, but when it comes to sipping I'd suggest you try other budget Languedoc pinks that give more Kylie-style flavours for less. Rating: 2/5.

Five of the best car-themed hotels with rooftop race test tracks, F1-themed gyms and ‘petrol' cocktails
WHETHER you are an F1 fan dreading the sport's annual August shutdown, or simply fancy the idea of dozing off surrounded by supercars, you can build a stay around motor racing. Here are five hotels designed with petrol heads in mind. NH TORINO LINGOTTO CONGRESS, Turin, Italy 7 IN the 1920s, the opening of a Fiat factory put Turin's park-filled Lingotto neighbourhood firmly on the map. Part of it has now been transformed into the NH Torino Lingotto Congress hotel. Photos of vintage cars line the walls, and other reminders of its history include the former rooftop test track, which appeared in the Italian Job, and has since been transformed into one of the world's coolest jogging tracks. GO: Rooms cost from £100 per night. See V8 HOTEL, Stuttgart, Germany THE V8 hotel is in Motorworld, a sprawling complex which is part museum, part car dealership. Motoring fans flock here to marvel (and occasionally buy) everything from Lamborghinis and Ferraris to vintage motorbikes and car parts. The hotel's lobby is filled with supercars while in the rooms, beds are made from the chassis of a vintage Mercedes or BMW. We recommend the Le Mans room, which has coffee tables made from oil drums and an enormous wall mural depicting a pit crew at work. GO: Rooms cost from £138 per night. See BROOKLANDS HOTEL, Weybridge, Surrey 7 SITTING within the footprint of the former Brooklands circuit, which became the world's first motor racing circuit when it was built in 1907, is this slick hotel. The track, famous for its banked curves, was the setting for various land speed records, although only a few moss-covered sections remain. The hotel also overlooks Mercedes-Benz World's test track, and anyone can sign up for a lap of this circuit. Lewis Hamilton has sped around it more than once. GO: Rooms cosy from £113 per night. See ESCAPADE SILVERSTONE, Oxfordshire, UK 7 TRACKSIDE accommodation does not get better than this. Escapade Silverstone comprises 180 suites and 60 residences, many of which overlook the famous motor racing circuit. Both the suites and residences are sleek and stylish; subtle nods to the location include monochrome cushions inspired by the chequered flag waved at the finishing line, and stacks of coffee table books chosen with speed demons in mind. Our favourite areas include the pool, with its floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the track just 11metres away. Wannabe F1 drivers will love the gym, which has the same torture devices – sorry, neck-training machines – used by drivers to help them cope with G Forces experienced during cornering and acceleration. GO: Rooms cost from £92 per night. See THE DAYTONA, Florida, US 7 NEXT to the legendary Daytona Speedway circuit, there are motorbikes in the bar and racing cars in the lobby. Memorabilia on display includes trophies, bronze casts of Nascar drivers' gloves and art-like collections of speedometers (sounds weird but it works). For a nightcap, head to the Blue Flame bar, where engine pistons have been transformed into sculptures. We recommend the Racing Fuel cocktail, made with blackberry moonshine, lime juice, blueberry syrup and lemon-lime soda. Disney's Art of Animation Resort, Florida 7 HEADING to Florida with a little Lando in tow? Consider Disney's Art of Animation Resort – more specifically the suites which pay tribute to the animated movie Cars. Highlights include the traffic cone-shaped bedside lights and the carwash-inspired bathrooms, along with the coffee tables topped with colourful maps highlighting famous driving routes. There are endless opportunities for some seriously fun selfies, too – guests can head outside to pose next to the movie's Sally Carrera and Lightning McQueen cars, or next to the Butte Gas station. GO: Rooms cost from £231 per night, based on four sharing. See Hotel Tylösand, Halmstad, Sweden 7 THIS Swedish car-themed hotel is co-owned by Roxette singer Per Gessle, and its public areas are stuffed with some of the world's most expensive speed machines (including a large number of Ferraris owned by Gessle himself). You can learn more about the motors on hotel tours led by Dick Jönsson Wigroth, founder of Sweden's most successful racing team, although you don't have to be a piston head to enjoy a stay here, largely because it's located just metres from Tylösand Beach, famous for its golden sands and glass-clear water.

‘Selfish' holiday habit divides travellers who can't decide which is correct plane etiquette – where do you stand?
A TRAVELLER has shared how they got in trouble for being 'selfish' while travelling. Taking to social media, the jet-setter was solo travelling on a flight when they decided to make themselves more comfortable. 2 2 Taking to Reddit, they revealed that they decided to recline their seat back, but the woman behind was not happy. 'This lady behind me just screeches and swears,' the poster shared. 'I turn around, because I had reclined my seat, her drink had spilled. "I felt so terrible, apologised and she just says don't recline your seat and proceeds to say it's fine.' The traveller said they then waited for the woman to finish her drink for almost an hour, but the damage was already done. The woman behind refused to let them recline their seat again. Fortunately, the flight attendant was on the traveller's side and attempted to diffuse the situation. The poster said they then contacted a flight attendant for assistance, who, fortunately, had their back. 'He tells me that I can just recline the seat without asking her, and I say that I got yelled at and she was just mean,' the poster said. 'He just looks at me confused, goes to the lady and says that I want to recline my seat, therefore he's going to do it for me. The deeply selfish holiday trend sweeping Europe's beaches this summer – and it's WORSE than sunbed hogging "She gets angry, she says the table hits her belly, she can't watch her movie, says she doesn't have enough space and just complains. 'The flight attendant just says 'This is how the aircraft is built, if you look around there are multiple people who have their seats reclined. If you want to complain, you are free to do so on the Qatar Airways site'.' But the fight didn't end there, with more shoving and complaining from the woman for the rest of the flight. The Reddit user shared their story hoping for sympathy, but it seems many deemed their actions selfish to others on the flight. "I've had food spilled all over me on Qatar flights multiple times because someone tried to recline their seat during meals,' said one person. Another wrote: 'In my humble and no doubt unpopular opinion, aircraft seating should not recline." 'I have never reclined my seat on an airplane, because I know it makes it uncomfortable for the person behind me. So I just don't do it,' penned a third. 'Everyone knows the airlines have made it so crowded that reclining your seat is just rude now. I don't recline my seat because I have respect for my fellow passengers,' added a fourth person. Plane etiquette IF you're planning on going away any time soon, you'll need to pay attention to the following unwritten plane etiquette rules... RECLINING SEAT: Podcast host and etiquette expert Nick Leighton explained that you shouldn't recline your seat if the passenger behind you is working on their laptop. He said: "Nobody likes their laptop snapped in half." Before you recline your seat, it's best to check to see what the passenger behind you is doing. If they are on a laptop, ask before you move your seat back. FEET: A flight attendant told The Sun: "Your boarding card tells you a number and a letter, this will be the reserved seat that you have paid for. "Your feet, which are attached to your body, should do their best to reside within this space and stay far away from anyone else. "If you do insist on stretching out, please make sure your feet are covered up." CHAT: TV travel expert Samantha Brown explained that conversations from strangers aren't welcome, suggesting that others shouldn't expect a chat. She added: "I'm not a talker. Plane time is me time."
