TV presenter Stacey Solomon was spotted in the Llanfair Caereinion area and even stopped by a bakery who had been catering a TV crew for a week.
Having been filming an episode of the series ‘Sort Your Life Out’ over the past week in Powys, presenter Stacey Solomon and her TV crew spent plenty of time being catered to by a bakery business near Welshpool.
The production crew and presenter were catered for over the course of a week by the Mid Wales business Baked by Jaz, who were recommended to the ‘Sort Your Life Out Team’ from some local recommendations.
The crew stopped by the business run by Jaz Hudson, who also runs a bakery found on In Naissance cafe at Glansevern hall and gardens, after reportedly wanting to use a small local business for their catering over the course of the week.

According to the owner, the crew and star of the BBC series all “loved the food”.
Writing on social media, Ms Hudson said: “What an amazing week and experience for my little business.
“Optomen TV found me based on recommendations from people from the local area, so thank you guys.
“It's been an amazing opportunity, all of the crew, Stacey, Dilly, Rob and Ewan have been amazing and so kind to us, and most of all they loved the food.
“Back I am to baking now, ready to prepare for another busy weekend ahead.”
The business first opened in October 2022, after Jaz grew her online business over lockdowns caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The bakery relocated to Glansevern Hall Gardens in the autumn of 2023, after being on Stanley Street, Welshpool for its first year of business.
Earlier this year she found a period of slow business in the bakery to be “heartbreaking” and was left “wondering if we will even make it to summer if it carries on like this”.
However, after making the post a slew of comments and support alerted a wave of people to the bakery’s recent move and they saw a steep uptake in business a few days later.
In March 2024 she added: “The community support that we have received has been immense, Steve and Becky who walked in as customers and ended up washing up during our peak time, you saved us today and you've left as dear friends to us.
“To everyone else who waited longer than usual times to show your support, we are so grateful. We have received lots of positive and constructive feedback which we are taking on board and are working on.”
