'I'm completely creeped out' Stacey Solomon hits out after being scared by stalking paparazzi with her kids

Stacey Solomon has taken to Twitter to vent her frustration, disappointment and fear after discovering paparazzi photos of herself and her kids online that were taken without her knowledge.

The Loose Women regular took to Twitter to express her views earlier this week after seeing the shots of her out in Essex with her son.

'I know it's all 'part & parcel' & 'comes with the nature of the job' but I'm completely creeped out by the fact that someone can follow me & hide whilst watching me take my children trampolining,' she wrote.

'It scares me. Am I wrong for feeling this way?'

Judging by replies from her followers, it's clear fans think that Stacey's reaction was perfectly normal.

Many told the 28-year-old TV star that they would be equally scared had it happened to them.

'It is scary when you have young children though as you don't know exactly who they are if they're weirdos or genuine, but knowing you're being watched with your children which is stalking celebrity or not would terrify me,' said one.

'I'd be a nervous wreck.'

Another sympathised: 'No you are not wrong. Following a mother and her children in normal circumstances would be classed as stalking! If you are 'off duty' you should be left in peace!'

Keen to move on from the situation, things were looking up for Stacey yesterday as the star hit the social networking site again to post an emotional message to her boys Zachary and Leighton as well as her partner Joe Swash, 36, for Valentine's Day. [twitter]

'I hope everyone's having a great valentines/palentines/pancake Boxing Day/Wednesday 😂😍😍😍😍.'

Stacey first announced that she and former EastEnders actor Joe were an item in January 2015 and they have been happily dating ever since.
