As Stacey Solomon updated fans and followers about her latest adventure, some hit back over her choice of holiday destination. The criticism came as the 'Sort Your Life Out' star packed her bags and jetted off to Dubai with her family and former EastEnders star husband Joe Swash.
Stacey is usually pretty free with details of her plans, taking followers along for the ride on social media. In a recent Instagram post, the 33-year-old has posted several pictures of her family. First came a picture at the airport of them all dressed in grey tracksuits ready to jet off, followed by a shot of "captain Rexy" in the cockpit before take off.
Stacey wrote: "Here We Go. Off on our very first adventure together… Rose & Belles first plane ride and ours as a family since before covid when Rex was a few months old." She continued: "We are all so excited to make some special memories. I think I was most nervous about the journey there but we’ve made it safe & sound and still sane. A massive thank you to the lovely passengers who were so chatty & sweet to us & the kids and also thank you to kindest air stewards who played with Rex & Rose so nicely & made them feel so comfortable @etihad you have the most amazing staff and captain Rexy can’t wait to fly us home."
The former ITV I'm A Celebrity star added another post showing the family on the beach at their destination, captioned "Magical Sunsets". However, the star soon came under fire for the posts.

One follower wrote: "As much as it looks beautiful, it doesn’t sit right with me going to holiday in a place that is pretty poor when it comes to women’s rights." Other defend the family, writing: "As if the U.K. is any better. We are no better. She may as well have a dream holiday and get a tan making memories with her kids."
Another added: "oh for god sake! Well just as well you haven’t gone. Who cares if it doesn’t sit right with you? It’s not your holiday. Get off your high horse! Oh and as for commenting on your own post giving yourself a pat on the back….poor form!" A fourth person joined in: "Abu Dhabi is one of the safest places in the world to live and work. They hold their females in very high esteem."
Another agreed: "I’ve lived here for 8 years and as a pretty liberal Irish woman who still does everything I did in Ireland, I am extremely happy and content with wonderful friends and have never had any issues regarding myself and female laws. I actually work with local woman and funnily enough they are becoming quite liberal themselves and are quite powerful women in their own right." Continuing: "I have seen so many positive changes in the past 8 years including many changes in old age strict laws. Ireland had many of its own strict rules 60 years ago, not every country had the opportunities to change as fast. Your opinion is valid however it’s an evolving country. Love the photos Stacey and this beach is my favourite."
The family photos captured the events of the family's day and Mrs Hinch was quick to share her thoughts of the holiday snapshot. "Absolutely Beautiful", she wrote. Another person added simply: "Welcome to the UAE".
