Stacey Solomon celebrated her 33rd birthday with a family trip last week to Disneyland Paris, and she made sure to publish plenty of footage of her experience.

However, some of her loyal fans suspected that she had visited the location twice this year, and kept the earlier trip a secret.Eagle-eyed fans had spotted Stacey appearing to enjoy a trip to exactly the same place during the summer, after photos had emerged on her sister's Instagram account.As puzzled fans queried it, Stacey declared adamantly: "No we did not go on a family holiday.”The Loose Women star explained that her sister had been on a desperate search for a last minute package deal that was still affordable, and found the cheapest option was to book a trip with an extra room.That meant one had been paid for which no one would be using, so she invited Stacey.Probably due to only having one room, Stacey picked just one of her children to join the earlier trip, leaving husband Joe Swash and baby daughter Rose among those left at home."I didn’t post about it because it wasn’t our holiday at all to post about," Stacey insisted to her 5.4 million followers."I took [son] Rexy and everyone else stayed at home!"Stacey clarified that there were "zero options left" online and that her sister "could only go if she booked two rooms", so she rushed to the rescue.She continued that she'd only joined the trip in the first place to ensure her sister wouldn't "waste money" on an extra room which would have ended up empty."I very much enjoyed watching my nieces and nephews and being designated videographer," Stacey reminisced of her earlier Disneyland trip.The news comes after she spoke of herself and Joe cancelling all work commitments over the summer so they could spend.
