Overview

  • Reports claiming Solomon had “quietly quit” the ITV panel show were countered by her team, which told The Independent she has not left.
  • She has not sat on the panel since 3 June 2024 and last appeared as a guest during December 2024’s 25-hour Talkathon.
  • ITV’s daytime restructuring will cut Loose Women to about 30 weeks a year in 2026, with job losses and other format changes reported.
  • The BBC confirmed Stacey & Joe will premiere on BBC One and iPlayer on Tuesday 9 September at 8pm, with six hour-long episodes after filming wrapped this week.
  • Coverage attributes her limited availability to commitments on BBC projects and business ventures, as producers have booked other personalities such as Olivia Attwood and GK Barry.
