Stacey Solomon Says Press Intrusion Should Be Illegal

She says photographers outside her Essex home have left her family feeling stalked and vulnerable.

Overview

  • Solomon told the Press Association on Tuesday that photographers have been “sitting outside our house” and that the behaviour makes her feel stalked and harassed.
  • The couple star in the fly-on-the-wall BBC series Stacey And Joe, which the coverage reports is due to return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer soon and could increase public and media attention.
  • Solomon says the invasions have changed what she shares online and that she will act if needed to protect her children, saying their safety comes before everything.
  • Earlier episodes of the show that filmed intimate moments, including a couples counselling session and Joe Swash’s ADHD diagnosis, have drawn some negative viewer reaction and may have amplified press interest.
  • The case highlights broader questions about the limits of public-interest claims in celebrity coverage and could prompt other public figures to alter their social media use or seek greater legal or practical steps to protect family privacy.
