Stacey Solomon fans deeply uncomfortable as show branded 'too intrusive'
Stacey Solomon fans felt like her BBC programme Sort Your Life Out went too far by airing a family's 'emotional baggage.'
In the show, the former X Factor star, 34, and her team revamp cluttered homes in the UK where homeowners choose which personal belongings they want to keep and leave behind.
However, on tonight's episode, viewers were left uncomfortable when single mum Rachel teared up after she stumbled across her ex-husband Darren's proposal speech as Stacey, organiser Dilly, carpenter Rob and cleaner Iwan reorganised her home.
Rachel also became emotional as she explained the painful breakdown of their marriage and Darren's new partner in a moment that was described by X user Milo as 'too intrusive.'
Darren later appeared on the 60-minute show to help Rachel and their two daughters Amelia, 15, and Madeline, 11, sort through their possessions, a reunion that was branded as 'awkward' for Stacey.
'Oh I'm glad I'm not Stacey, this must be awkward. #sortyourlifeout,' Effy shared on X.
Sarah added: 'Both parties more than willing to appear on tv show due to their marriage breakup? How is this even a thing? #sortyourlifeout Bloody hell.'
Agreeing with Sarah, Milo remarked: 'Too much emotional baggage in this episode. Too intrusive. Not our place to be party to this. #SortYourLifeOut.'
Rachel first spoke of her divorce when Stacey remarked upon the clutter in her garage, which she said Darren had promised to make into a dance studio for the children.
However, as they split up and Darren moved out, his plans were never realised.
In a VT, Rachel explained the breakdown of their marriage: 'We'd been married 10 or 11 years and I could tell that something was not quite right so I confronted him and he said, "I don't love you anymore" and weeks later was in a relationship with somebody.
'But they are still together and they're getting married this year so it's all worked out for the best.'
Later in the episode, Rachel struggled to fight back the tears when she was sorting through her belongings and they found items relating to her wedding.
'It's just hard,' she said, wiping the tears away. 'It's not that I want him back anymore. It just makes me sad that it was wasted in a way.'
Stacey comforted Rachel and said that she hadn't given herself enough justice for how she had handled the split.
Darren then appeared show as Rachel was still holding onto his possessions.
She had previously explained she had found it 'too difficult' to see him to return them but was now in a better headspace.
As Rachel, Darren and their children chucked out items they no longer needed, Rob, Dilly and Iwan set about renovating their home.
The family were left near speechless by the makeover, particularly when it was revealed the garage had finally been transformed into a dance studio.
