X-Factor contestant Stacey Solomon is a role model for other young, single mums by trying to make a better future for her son, Bounty mums said in a recent poll.

Essex girl Stacey who lives with her mum and one-year-old son Zach, has won the hearts of the public since she wowed the judges in early auditions, but has attracted criticism that she is a ‘bad mother’ for leaving her little one at home while she pursues her dream.

Bounty mums, though, are backing her all the way. Just 16% thought she should be at home looking after her son, while a whopping 64% said she is a good example to other young mums who want to build a better life for their children.
