Stacey Solomon sneaks Marmite sandwiches into the National Television Awards (NTAs) for the ‘Loose Women’ panellists snack on.
The former ‘X Factor’ star secretly squirrels the food spread sarnies into the ceremony to ensure her co-stars don’t go hungry, because they get so "f***ing starving" at the TV spectacle.
Stacey’s fellow panellist Nadia Sawalha told the Daily Star newspaper: "Stacey is an old head on young shoulders.
"She’s been a great addition to the show because she teaches us a lot.
"The best thing she does is bring Marmite sandwiches to the NTAs.
"The one thing viewers don’t know is we’re always f***ing starving when we’re in the audience. But thanks to Stacey we get something to eat!"
While ‘Loose Women’ will not go hungry at the NTAs, they may end up empty handed on the night as they are up against ‘This Morning’ for the Best Daytime Show prize.
The brunch-time show – co-hosted by Phil Schofield and Holly Willoughby – look to be strong competition for the all-female panel programme after winning the accolade for the past seven years.
The pair will take on ‘Sunday Brunch’, ‘Good Morning Britain’ and ‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’ for the title.
Holly may also taste success on the night for ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ – which she co-hosted last year, stepping in for Ant McPartlin – as the show is up for the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award.
The Australian jungle-based reality show look a shoe-in for the prize if the bookies are to be believed, with William Hill pricing the programme up as 1/3 favourites, ahead of ‘Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’ at 4/1, and ‘Love Island’ at 8/1.
‘All Round To Mrs Brown’s’ (14/1) and ‘The Graham Norton Show’ (20/1) are the outsiders in the category.
