Stacey Solomon (born 4 October 1989) is a single mother to a one-year-old son, Zach. She studies Theatre Arts and is from Dagenham, east London. Solomon attended the Jewish faith school King Solomon High School in Barkingside in the London Borough of Redbridge. After the elimination of Lucie Jones in Week 5, Stacey became the only remaining female contestant in Week 6. Stacey reached the final on December 12, 2009 Final 3 show. Having received the least number of votes of the three remaining contestants, she was eliminated on the Saturday show, thus coming third overall in the competition. The change in format and voting out of one contestant during the Saturday show was a surprise announcement made only in the final week of the competition. Earlier formats allowed all three to reach the final as it was held on a Saturday night only, whereas this year's final was spread over both nights.
