Stacey Solomon feels she is an "old head on young shoulders".
The ‘Loose Women’ star had a baby when she was just 17-years-old and says having a responsibility at such a young age made her "grow up fast".
She said: "In some ways I have an old head on young shoulders. I had a baby at 17 and had to grow up fast. But at the same time, I can be such a kid. Maybe it’s a release from having all that responsibility so young in life, but things that kids find hilarious make me laugh too. I love messing about with them and letting my inner kid out … My mum always told me that nothing really matters if you have the love of friends and family. This industry can be fickle, but I have such a solid foundation of love around me. All the rest is just noise."
And the 29-year-old television presenter feels she has a "responsibility", as a public figure, to "ease the pressure off being perfect".
She told the Mirror: "I feel like if I have a presence and can reach out to people, I have a responsibility to show who the real person behind the screen is. I’m just a normal, regular person. I’m hairy, I have cellulite. I’ll do whatever it takes to ease the pressure off being perfect. I don’t think I’m particularly brave to post honest pictures of myself on social – there are a lot of people doing a lot braver things than that. But it’s important."
