Stacey Solomon responds to fan concerns after 'humbling' workout blunder and says 'I don't know why I'm bothered'

Stacey Solomon has reassured her fans after they left concerned comments following an embarrassing - and very painful - blunder at the gym earlier this week. On Wednesday, the reality TV star took to Instagram to share a mortifying story with her followers about how she had accidentally flashed her bum in the gym after falling off a treadmill.

Describing the ordeal as 'humbling', Stacey, 33, giggled with embarrassment as she recalled how she had been dragged to the floor by her leggings, which ended up around her ankles, exposing her backside, which was covered with just a thong, for the whole exercise class to see.

Addressing the ordeal in a new video posted to her Instagram story on Saturday, Stacey could be seen lacing up her trainers as she confirmed she was heading back to the gym for the first time following the humiliation. Stacey started off by saying thanks to the people who had messaged her about her injuries after being asked by concerned fans how her knees were following the fall.

In her previous video Stacey had removed her sweatpants to reveal huge bruises on her legs and knees. "Look at my poor knees," she had said before adding with a strain in her voice: "It really hurt!" But Stacey, who clearly hasn't been put off by the accident, told fans that her pride hurts more than her legs - despite the black bruises still being visible on her knees days later.

"I love you all so much," she started off her update by saying. "Thanks for worrying about my knees. I mean they've seen better days to be honest with you, they don't look great, but it's probably my pride that hurts more than my knees at this point."
