Mrs hinch and Stacey Solomon

Ok so going to start off saying I follow Mrs H and I enjoy her content.

But.... I just find their social media friendship SO annoying... the montages, the reels, the "I love yous". I just find it really annoying.
Like do they only talk about their celeb pals like this is?! What about their other friends?
I don't know, I just feel like all their catch ups turn into a dramatic reels/paragraphs and I don't find it genuine.

Am I alone 🙈

Maybe their other friends don’t want sharing with millions of random people who will slag them off for being happy. Also they both have small children so probably don’t get to meet up often. You really just sound jealous.

Hahah, that made me chuckle. No not jealous 😅

I think it's really normal for people to find celebrities/influencers irritating and that doesn't necessarily stem from jealousy 😅

You have a choice with Instagram, you either follow people and look at their stuff or you don't.

But you like Mrs Hinch, you find her irritating when having fun with another influencer, that’s why it sounds jealous.

I think Stacey latched onto Hinch and has used her to further her career in terms of illustrating her organisation skills which has led to her getting shows related to it. Otherwise they are both Essex girls and seem like they have a lot on common. Don't think there's any reason (at least in the public eye) to doubt their friendship is genuine.

Both are influencers so normal things like thanking or appreciating a friend turns into long, gushing posts. It's easy enough to ignore if it bothers you.

Can’t imagine being worked up about this and their friendship. If you’re struggling with it so hard you need to start a thread you can unfollow or even not click on those stories,.

Guys I'm absolutely aware I can unfollow them. Honestly I really know, I've used Instagram for years 🙈
I like most of Mrs Hinch's content so I don't want to unfollow!

I just don't let the icky friendship posts, a PP articulated it correctly I feel like they latch onto each other!

It’s really not normal to follow someone and get all worked up and irritated about them being mates with another celeb.

@Littleworkaholic why do you keep posting same I'm worked up? 😅

Just to clarify I'm not, perfectly fine! Just having a chat about some influencers! I'm barely sat here crying into my cup of tea!

Can you not just ignore it?

Ok my bad I thought your op,said you find it really annoying. To the extent you needed to start a thread about these women being mates and it really annoying you.

chubchubchubchub · 29/04/2023 22:36

I mean it may be a fleeting thought that came in to my head OP if I was scrolling on Insta (then again, it may not) but when you start a thread about it it's like it's asking for bitchiness & judgement of these 2 women & frankly there's so much of that already going on let's not add to it.

ThisSingleMama · 29/04/2023 22:42

Ugh. Bitch thread

What do you want from this op??

@Littleworkaholic yeah just so you know, finding something annoying and being "worked up" are different things! 👍🏼☺️

I guess I just find it abit icky!

Littleworkaholic · 29/04/2023 22:47

Yeah we get that op, but we aren’t playing.

Coffeeandbourbons · 29/04/2023 22:49

YANBU I was just thinking that. But I guess that’s how celebrity works isn’t it? Plaster it all over SM if you think it’ll raise a few thousand likes.

Ok I'm leaving the thread.

I'm not hear to be called a bitch or have my words blown up.

I'm sat on my own and I just made a thread for a chit chat.

Sorry before I leave.....

Playing?! Wtf are you even talking about?!
I literally don't understand your posts and why you're responding so much.

Very strange. Enjoy your game!

Maybe take this thread to Tattle? Seems like the sort of place that’d like to bitch about influencers

You can hide posts with specific keywords under settings.

add in Stacy Solomon’s handle, name etc and you won’t see posts with those in.

AliceInWonderlines · 29/04/2023 22:53

OP's not leaving the thread Wine

Oh come on you can’t be that naive? They’re celebrities, they sell their life in SM. Of course people are going to comment on it, OP isn’t spreading rumours or slandering them so what’s the issue? There’s threads going on Rishi Sunak and Kate Middleton, what’s the difference.

Cosycover · 29/04/2023 22:54

I agree.
It's all for the likes.

At least they didn't invite their wee scammer hanger on this time.
