'Loose Women's' Stacey Solomon didn't miss scandal talk during maternity leave

Loose Women star Stacey Solomon has admitted she didn't miss chewing over scandals while she was on maternity leave.

The TV star, a favourite on the panel of the ITV show, took time off while she was having her baby girl Rose.

But she's now revealed that it's chatting about "everyday topics" that she likes most, rather than discussing scandals.

Asked if there had been any drama she wished she'd been there to comment on while she was off, she told Metro.co.uk: "Oh my God, no! That’s my worst nightmare."

The 33-year-old added: "I hate the drama, I hate the scandals. I’d rather talk about everyday topics that everyone is experiencing."

Solomon said that she almost feels sorry for people who get caught out in something scandalous because nobody is perfect.

"I’d much rather talk about issues affecting everybody all the time than somebody’s scandal," the star explained.

Solomon – who is also mum to son Rex, three, with her husband Joe Swash, and sons Zachary, 14, and Leighton, 10, from former relationships – welcomed Rose in October last year.

She returned to Loose Women this year and confessed she was "nervous" about going back to work.

"I love my job so so much but oh my gosh I’m sad that my maternity leave is almost over," she posted on social media.

“I’m getting so nervous to go back.”

Solomon said she was "so sad" that her months of maternity leave had gone by so fast.
