“Oh my God, what an amazing feeling to be asked,” Solomon told MailOnline. “I was genuinely like, ‘How does she even know me?’ I still to this day don't know how they found me. They just said they wanted me. Maybe some of her researchers and her team had seen the show. Well, they would have had to, I guess, to know anything about me.”

Stacey Solomon's Personal Experience with Cowboy Builders

Solomon has had her own experience with cowboy builders in the past. She and her husband, Joe Swash, once paid a builder half of the money up front to convert their garden shed into a mini office. However, the builder never returned to complete the work.

“We never saw them again. There's nothing you can do,” Solomon said. “You think, ‘God, how could I be so stupid?’ I'm not stupid. I'm a bright girl.

“It's not about losing the money, it's the psychological impact because you lose trust, self-worth.”

Stacey Solomon's Tips for Avoiding Cowboy Builders

Solomon has some tips for people who are looking to avoid being scammed by cowboy builders.

“Do your research,” Solomon said. “Get recommendations from friends and family, and read online reviews. Make sure you get a written contract before any work begins, and never pay the full amount up front.”

Solomon also said that it is important to be prepared to walk away from a deal if you have any doubts.

“If you're not comfortable with something, don't do it,” Solomon said. “There are plenty of other builders out there.”

Stacey Solomon on the Importance of Family

Solomon said that working on 'Renovation Rescue' has reinforced the importance of family to her.

“I have learned what really makes a home a home by making this show,” Solomon said. “The people I meet are in horrendous situations and the thing that's holding them together isn't what's on the walls, how pretty or tidy things look, it's who they are as a unit.”

Solomon said that she is grateful to have such a supportive family of her own.

“I am so lucky to have such a supportive family,” Solomon said. “They are always there for me, through thick and thin.”
