Sort Your Life Out star star Stacey Solomon has admitted it's "so scary" announcing her solo projects to fans, with one sweetly named after her daughters Rose & Belle.

It is the Loose Women panellist's most personal project to date, and something she has been pursuing alone, away from her husband, Joe Swash, 43.


Taking to Instagram, the 35-year-old shared a video announcing the launch of her perfume brand, in which she could be seen drawing out a picture of a perfume bottle.

"I've made space in my life to follow a dream of mine and create something special that hopefully you will love and will live on forever through my children," the ITV I'm A Celeb star wrote.

She continued: "I'm so overwhelmed with the feeling of excitement and fear as I step into a world which I can only say is bloody scary but also thrilling.

"This is a long time coming mostly because I haven't had the confidence more than anything. But not anymore."

In the video, she said: "First things first, it is a perfume, it's just one perfume I'm launching. I'm really, really excited about it.

"I am also super nervous about it because I've let go of a lot of things this year that are guaranteed income that I won't have next year.


"And none of this project is guaranteed to be successful in any way, so it feels like a massive risk and is scary."

Her aim was to create a perfume that was both affordable and luxurious, and she has put in some serious research to achieve this.

"When I say I've been through hundreds of formulas I'm not exaggerating. Two of the ingredients in the final formula are Tuberose and Amber," she said of the final result.

As always, it wasn't long before she showed her appreciation for her fans who have supported her over the years.

"You have literally changed my life," Stacey said while getting emotional, adding: "I get to live dreams of mine that, when I was growing up, they were... not even dreams of mine, they weren't even on my radar of dreams because I realised just how far away that was."
