Stacey Solomon 'feels like a winner' as she shares brilliant post-Baftas video after missing out on award

Stacey Solomon has shared exactly what she got up to after she lost out on a Bafta TV Award. The Loose Women star attended the star-studded event alongside her fiancé Joe Swash as she was nominated for her BBC show Sort Your Life Out.

Prior to heading to the Royal Festival Hall in London for the glamourous annual ceremony, Stacey caused confusion on social media as she shared a look at her stunning attire for the event. She posed in a white lacy outfit alongside Joe Swash who looked dapper in a black tuxedo suit and bow tie in the selection of gorgeous photos taken in the garden of their home, Pickle Cottage.

But fans were quick to assume the pair were preparing to tie the knot as they're currently in the midst of preparing for their nuptials in July. Writing alongside her post to her millions of followers: "Here we go… Off to the Baftas with my best friend."

She proudly continued: "Couldn’t do any of it without you. Never felt so nervous and proud… No matter what I’m so grateful to even have been nominated. Never ever ever did I think I’d be saying that."

However, Stacey, 32, was pipped to the award by Big Zuu after his show Big Zuu's Big Eats also secured the gong for entertainment performance. Big Zuu - whose real name is Zuhair Hassan – took home two awards during the 75th Bafta TV awards ceremony.

Following the awards bash, Stacey took to her Instagram Story with a black and white photo of herself in the back of a car. "We didn't win," she wrote across the clip of her tucking into a burger. "But I feel like a winner right now," she added with a laugh.

"Thank you for all of your messages they're actually warming my heart all the way home," Stacey added before sharing a photo of herself and Joe posing backstage at the awards do in front of a wall of green foilage with the iconic Bafta face in the middle. "I love you all," she wrote around the image as she shared some of the messages from her followers.

One read: "Stacey honestly you are a complete winner in my eyes. A) you have a brilliant show that I'm addicted to like a lot of people. B) You look stunning as ever. C) You have a burger right now." Another said: "You're always a winner to us Stace."

Big Zuu celebrated his "humble beginnings" and "working class people" after winning the Bafta TV award for features. Paying tribute to his mother and the heritage of his school friends and fellow presenters Hyder and Tubsey, he said: "She came to this country four months pregnant from Sierra Leone during the rebel war.

"Hyder’s family come from Kurdistan, which is not a recognised state. Tubsey’s family are from Iraq and Iran, they were in a war when he was born. Man comes from humble beginnings."
