‘Absolutely not’ rant Stacey Solomon fans as they ‘holiday-shame’ her over £30k break with husband Joe Swash
STACEY Solomon has been ‘holiday-shamed’ by fans over her £30k break to Turkey with Joe Swash.
Presenter Stacey, 34, and her husband Joe, 42, looked like they’d had an incredible time in snaps from their getaway shared to Instagram.
The pair packed on the PDA while posing for beach and pool shots in a photo dump from their stay.
Stacey and Joe were joined by their blended family of children, Zachary, 15, Leighton, ten, Rex, four, Rose, two, and one-year-old Belle, as they soaked up some sun abroad.
But some followers were left furious that they’d gone away to the European country, which only recently approved a ‘massacre law’ to remove millions of stray dogs.
Stacey had written in her caption: “Mum & Dad. Last day in paradise. And the last photo of me half naked I promise, I did wear clothes this holiday just not for long because it was too hot.
“Sorry for the holiday spam but it’s been a real life dream… Two weeks in our favourite place together.
“I can not wait to get home to our dogs & ducks but I also don’t want this to end For all of you asking, now that we are on our way home, we came back to @regnumcarya AD @superconnector.co.uk @jet2pics It’s where we were last year.
“I don’t think I’ve ever immediately left somewhere & started booking it again for the next year but we just loved it so so much, thank you for the best memories ever Antalya, we love you.”
One fan commented: “Sorry, but Turkey is an absolute no no from me. You need to look up what they are doing to dogs and cats. Poisoning them to have a long painful death. Then thrown out in the rubbish. I hope you won’t be returning next year, especially as a dog lover/owner.”
Someone else added: “Google the new law that was passed there at the end of July. They are poisoning them, beheading them, settling fire to the shelters, there a huge mass graves. I have two Turkish rescue dogs, and loved turkey until this law was passed. There are heartbreaking videos on tiktok etc.”
Another agreed: “I’m really sorry to pop the holiday fun bubble but Turkey has just passed a law to euthanise stray dogs (4 million I think). No matter how much fun it looks, I wouldn’t step foot there knowing what there are doing to animals.”
After the controversial law was introduced in July, animal-loving holidaymakers promised to cancel their holidays.
Videos shared on social media have shown numerous mass graves of dogs rounded up and killed by people hunting the animals after the legislation was passed.
Thousands have taken to the streets to protest the cruel law, with signs reading, “You cannot kill them,” and, “Take back the law.”
The heartbreaking massacre law is designed to take dogs off the street and house them in shelters, however, a clause in the law states any dog that displays aggression or is sick will be put down.
During Stacey’s holiday she was praised by fans after flaunting her bikini body.
Mum-of-five Stacey confessed she’d been “conscious” about her body before slipping into a bikini for the first time.
What is Turkey's stray dog laws
Turkey approved a controversial new law dubbed the “massacre law” to deal with stray dogs on the streets of Turkey at the end of July.
It comes amid concerns about attacks, road accidents, and rabies.
The new legislation requires municipalities to collect stray dogs and house them in shelters to be vaccinated, neutered and spayed before making them available for adoption.
Dogs that are in pain, terminally ill, or pose a health risk to humans will be euthanised.
She said: “I haven’t committed to the gym this year the way I was able to last year.
“I don’t know why but for some reason I was conscious about it before coming away.
“I Worried people would notice (so silly I know as I usually don’t even think about those things, but I felt a weird pressure).”
Stacey continued: “However looking back on pics from the beach yesterday I can see I’m still so beautiful.
“I look A little different from my last holiday but just as beautiful.”
Rushing to comment, one follower wrote: “Proper body no filters no false rubbish just beauty all the way x”
And a second said: “You are a role model for women’s and girls of all ages. Your kids will value those photos and will only see a fun and loving Mom.”
