Stacey Solomon has been warned that pursuing a career stateside "can be hard," particularly when it comes to being away from family and friends who are still based in the UK.
It comes following the recent news that presenter Stacey, 33, will front a new project for actor and producer Reese Witherspoon 's production company Hello Sunshine.
It was announced last month that Stacey will host home renovation show Bricking It. It's the first UK commission for the company, which was founded by Reese, 46.

Ross - best known as a correspondent on ITV 's Lorraine - relocated to Los Angeles more than two decades ago. The presenter had moved to the US from Scotland in 2000.
