Stacey Solomon broke down when a dying mother revealed her farewell gift to her daughter on Sort Your Life Out. 

The BBC show featured Ben and Lynda Brearly-Baird and their five-year-old daughter Charlotte from Leeds in Tuesday’s episode. 

TV star Stacey, 35, along with her de-cluttering team – Dilly Carter, 44, Iwan Carrington and Robert Bent – helped the family to reorganise their home.

Sorting through 239 scarves and 619 pieces of wood, among other belongings, the presenter shared an emotional conversation with Lynda, who had been diagnosed with cancer and was preparing for when she pᴀssed away. 

‘Unfortunately at some point I won’t be here anymore. This is the box I bought, I’ve also got a notebook that random thoughts that come into my head that I’d probably say to her when she’s a teenager or when she’s a bit older and things like that,’ Lynda said.

‘Things like this, my aim is to do something for her wedding day, or if she ever has children, if I was there this is what I’d be thinking,’ she added as Stacey hugged her.

Lynda revealed that she was worried her young daughter wouldn’t remember her, saying ‘I want her to remember me’.

Stacey was visibly touched by the conversation and said: ‘I don’t want to stand here and pretend like I’ve got any idea what that must feel like and it must be heartbreaking, but it incredible to see how happy Charlotte is.’

Lynda went on to explain. ‘After being diagnosed, I started the notebooks for Charlotte. She’s going to be a child that is going to grow up without a mum. At least by doing this, I’ve got my voice there.’

The mother-of-one said the thoughtful gift she was leaving for her daughter made her feel like she was ‘taking control a little bit of the future’.

Afterwards, Stacey spoke to the camera before emotionally holding her face in her hands and said: ‘I’ve never gone through a section where somebody is aware that there’ll be memories they’re going to miss. 

‘I don’t want to get upset because I feel like really that’s not my job, like I’m here to help this family, and it’s not happening to me, it’s happening to them.’

Some viewers were equally touched by Lynda’s story and took to social media to share their thoughts. 

One posted on X: ‘@StaceySolomon Just cried with you. What a beautiful family & omg little Charlotte is adorable; she’s a very kind special lady. I’m in bits already. Life is so cruel. Time is a gift #sortyourlifeout.’;

‘This is one of the most emotional episodes I’ve watched and what a beautiful family, so loving and touching. Stacey is just the right person to be with them on their journey & so connected to little Charlotte. Life is so unfair at times.. #SortYourLifeOut.’;  

‘I usually cry at #sortyourlifeout, but only at the end. But this week’s episode…’;

‘#sortyourlifeout @StaceySolomon just caught up on tonight’s SYLO….. what a lovely deserving family…… well done to all the team.’;

‘Just wow really. I sobbed. #sortyourlifeout.’

It comes after another emotional episode on Sort Your Life Out last week which saw parents break down in tears recounting the loss of two babies.

Stacey and her team helped the Appleyard family in West SusSєx organise their three-bedroom home. 

The family of six were encouraged to get rid of half of their possessions and the team helped them declutter the contents of each room. 

Stacey set about helping mother-of-four Helen go through her wardrobe when they came across a fleece that she didn’t want to let go for a touching reason.

‘That can’t go,’ Helen said to Stacey as she held a blue and white striped jumper. ‘This one I was wearing when I had Eleanor, and Eleanor is the baby number two. So we had a miscarriage at 12 weeks and then I went on to have Eleanor.’

A clip showed the parents in tears as they spoke to the camera about the heartbreaking loss

‘So we got past the 20-week mark and then I lost some movement and so they sent me for a scan, and I lay in the scan room and heard the words that you never want to hear,’ she added. 

‘That your baby has no heartbeat.’

Stacey stood tearing up as both parents looked emotional and husband Phil comforted Helen.
