Loose Women star Stacey Solomon has admitted she’s not a fan of the royal family, saying: “I don’t get any of it.”
The day’s panellists, including Christine Lampard, Linda Robson, Jane Moore, and Stacey, 28, were discussing the royals and how Meghan Markle could modernise the monarchy.
But the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! winner didn’t see the point, saying: “I just don’t get it, I don’t get any of it. I don’t get why we’re so obsessed with these humans that are exactly the same [as us]. It could be us four sitting there.”
Jane, 55, said the family are “becoming like celebrities,” but she added that “the Queen is brilliant”.
Former Birds Of A Feather star, Linda, 59, interjected: “I love the Queen, and she’s always worked really hard.”
Stacey continued: “But I would work hard, too, if the whole country paid for me to have, like, 12 houses.”
Jane told her: “They don’t pay for all of the houses. We contribute about £39 million a year. It costs £300 million a year to run the royal family.
“But I’m with you. After the Queen I’d have them all on bicycles and living in a terraced house. But I love the Queen, I think she’s fantastic.”
But Stacey wasn’t convinced, saying: “It’s freezing cold outside and people are homeless and these people have houses to spare.
“And it does sometimes become a little bit frustrating because I don’t see the purpose of all of that money going to this entire family.”
She added: “Sorry, sorry to everyone!”

It was an unusually serious topic for our Stace, who is usually known for making her fans laugh with sillier subjects.
In fact, on the same episode of Loose Women, she couldn’t stop laughing as she told her fellow panellists about boyfriend Joe Swash falling over as they played in the snow.
Describing it as “one of my fondest memories”, she said: “I was overjoyed he hurt himself and I’d been warning him for ages.”
The X Factor posted the hilarious video of the accident on Instagram.
Next to the clip she wrote: “Me: Babe don’t snowboard here there’s too many rocks, babe you don’t have the right shoes, bub please don’t snowboard here it’s dangerous…
“*Joe continues to mount board as though my voice is on another frequency* – Cue Video 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.”
Fans loved it, commenting: “Love how supportive you are as he hits the deck!” And: “Hahaha brilliant home movie! Thanks for sharing @staceysolomon”.
