The Loose Women panellist has jetted off with her family for the Summer holidays

Stacey Solomon has been left flooded with support on her latest Instagram post after she was trolled by some of her "fans" over the fact that Joe Swash's other son - Harry, 17 - was not pictured.

Solomon and Swash smiled happily alongside their children Zachary, 16, Leighton, 11, Rex, four, Rose, two, and one-year-old Belle, as they waited to board their flight.


The 34-year-old captioned the post: "Time to make some memories. Going to switch off and spend time with our pickles. You know when you just need to give them your all & re-set.

"Feel so lucky to take a break & stop still for a little while. I’ve been counting down the minutes to this. Will be FaceTiming the ducks & dogs daily. Happy Summer Everyone. Be back soon."

Rather than fans wishing the Solomon-Swash clan a "Bon voyage", some fans have criticised the couple for not including Swash's son Harry, who he shares with ex-Emma Sophocleous.

Swash sometimes posts photos of him on his Instagram, but for the most part, he is kept out of the limelight - something their followers are keen to understand why.

One user commented: "I always feel sorry for your other son, Joe. He never seems to be with you all most of the time."

"Where is Joe's elder son?" someone else asked before another echoed: "What about Joe's other son?"

Someone else noted: "Shame your sons not there."

However, sticking up for the family, one fan exclaimed: "Does anyone come straight to the comments to see the pathetic comments like: 'Are you not taking Joe's other son?' Get over it.

"He’s 17 now and probably has his own stuff going on."

Another agreed, adding: "They've said a million times he just isn't in pics but does go to things." (sic)

Solomon has previously responded to the comments about Harry being absent from her social media and explained her family dynamic: "Publicly that’s not something that I can do and I totally respect that.

"We respect everyone’s wishes, we’re a blended family and sometimes that’s a bit more complicated than it seems. I don’t know if that’s the best way to explain it!"

Swash shared an image of his eldest son last month and explained the teen had been doing some work experience at the star's celebrity agency, with the proud dad revealing he'd treated his son to a slap-up lunch at Sheesh in London.

Captioning the snap on his Instagram Stories, he wrote: "My eldest son Harry is doing work experience at my agency @ymuentertainment so I popped down 2 take him for lunch at our favourite restaurant @sheesh_uk 67-69 Piccadilly in London!" (sic)
