Stacey Solomon has seemingly reconnected with her eldest son Zach following an explosive televised argument.

In an apparent reconciliation following their heated on-screen row just weeks ago, the TV star has taken her son on a special two-day trip to Paris for Pokemon hunting as a birthday treat.


The 35-year-old Sort Your Life Out star and her 17-year-old son were photographed together at iconic Parisian landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, during their gaming adventure in the French capital.

The mother-son getaway comes after viewers witnessed an intense argument between the pair on Stacey's BBC reality show in April, during which Zach swore at his mother over a dispute about cleaning up after a party.

Solomon shared her joy about the rare one-on-one time with her firstborn in an emotional Instagram post, writing: "Two days with my Zach. Why are these the best pics ever? They make me so happy! Me & you Zachy."

She explained the significance of their trip: "We went Pokemon hunting yesterday & today, it's something we've done for years & have never been to a proper city Go Fest.

"So for his birthday this year, we got tickets & we have been counting down the days."

The presenter added: "Having a young adult son like Zach is just the absolute dream & spending time with just us two doesn't happen often, but when it does, my soul regenerates."

She finished by writing: "To the moon & back Zach! BEST POKEMON TRIP EVER!"

The televised confrontation occurred during the opening episode of "Stacey & Joe" when Solomon attempted to wake Zach the morning after she had allowed him to host a party for his friends.

When the presenter insisted he help with the cleanup and threatened to wake his friends for chores, Zach responded angrily: "No! What are you doing - you're p***ing me off!"

Solomon immediately reacted to his language, warning: "If you swear at me one more time Zach. No, I'm not joking!"

She added firmly: "Just because there are people here doesn't mean I won't have that argument with you."
