Stacey Solomon shares emotional snap as son Leighton, 11, makes speech and says 'it's on purpose'

Stacey Solomon shared an emotional snap as she watched her son Leighton make a moving speech. The Loose Women star will be kept busy this week as she celebrates the 11-year-old finishing primary school before heading into secondary later this year.

Stacey previously shared how he's having to go it alone after not getting into the same one as his friends. The 33-year-old shared her fears for Leighton finishing off primary school, saying on social media: "It's starting to feel emotional now because it's nearly summer and then that's it, none of Leighton's friends are going to the school that he's going to.

"I just feel really nervous for him but hopefully they'll all stay in touch, I really hope so because I like the mums too. It took me a really long time to find mums that like me. But Rex is going to Leighton's school and some of their siblings are going there as well so hopefully I'll still see them."

At the end of last month, the Sort Your Life Out host then shared a sweet picture of herself and Leighton cosied up and smiling into the mirror for a selfie. "Good luck Leighton..." she started to type.

"Now it's time for Leighton (and me tbh) to make some new friends. We didn't get into any of the schools his friends are going to so it's starting all over again! We were nervous at first but now I'm actually super excited for Leighton," she added.

And things appeared to go well as she later returned with a video catch-up. Speaking directly to the camera from her kitchen sink, she said: "Finally home! Today has felt the longest day of school administration ever. Leighton had a really good time, he made some friends."
