Stacey Solomon unveils stunning utility room makeover as she gets ready to open her £1.2M EsSєx home to cameras for new reality TV series

Stacey Solomon unveiled her new utility room makeover on Instagram on Wednesday.

The Loose Women star, 35, has been busy redecorating her £1.2million EsSєx home, with the latest stage of the work taking on something of a Barbie-like feel.

Before the change, the room’s drawers and cupboards were painted in a sage green with shiny white surfaces.

But the space has now been lathered in baby pink paint, complete with pink roses sprawled across the walls and various pink items.

Stacey added a caption explaining her reasons for the dramatic transformation: ‘The Pink Utility done ✔️ If my brain was a room this would be it. Honestly the best decision I’ve ever made.’

The X Factor star has demonstrated her love for the colour pink in the past, previously gifting her children a pink toy house for Christmas and building her daughter Rose a pink piano for her birthday last year.

The remarkable colour upheaval comes after the TV icon admitted she was ‘so nervous’ as she shared huge news with husband Joe Swash. 

She addressed fans who had signed up to her own personal newsletter, sharing more details after revealing they have filmed a reality show.

Stacey penned: ‘Now I can FINALLY tell you that we’d been busy filming for ‘Stacey & Joe’ coming to the BBC later this year. It’s been such a big part of our lives… 

‘I love sharing what we do on Instagram, but this is capturing the laughs, tears and the craziness at Pickle Cottage in such a different way. On the actual TV.’ 

She thanked her fans for their support, saying: ‘It still feels surreal and I’m so nervous about it, but all your lovely comments have made such a difference. I’ll share more about the show when I can [heart emoji].

‘There’s honestly not a day that goes by that I’m not grateful for every single one of you… You’re just the best mates I could ever ask for. Thank you xxx.’

Stacey announced earlier this month that the couple, who have been married since 2022, had opened their household to the cameras for the first time. 

Although the TV personality is no stranger to sharing glimpses into her personal life online, the new BBC series will invite a camera crew into their space to document just how the celebrity pair balance their busy work schedule with their family life.

When announcing the exciting news, the couple shared a teaser for the upcoming show, showing Stacey and Joe along with their five children in the garden of their impressive EsSєx home.

The adorable clip also showed snapsH๏τs of their beloved pets Teddy and Peanut, and a gaggle of ducks.

Accompanied by a heartwarming polaroid snapsH๏τ of the family, Stacey captioned the post: ‘A new year. A very new adventure. Coming Spring 2025. We’ve been so nervous and excited to share this. Here is us. All of us. 

‘In 2024 we opened up our home and made a series about our lives, family, work and everything in between.’

‘It was a huge leap into the unknown and it’s been an absolute whirlwind making it. But last year as a family we decided to say yes to more and do things we’d never done. We have spoken about making a documentary for a long time, lots of you have asked too. So here we go. 

‘A journey with us every second of the way. Through the laughter the tears and the craziness… We hope it makes you smile, feel good and hopefully enjoy getting to know us all a little more.’

Filming for the reality show hasn’t been wholly smooth sailing, with Stacey reportedly left in tears after having what looked like a row with Joe in the street back in November.

In a video obtained by The Sun, the mother-of-five was seen being comforted by her reality TV crew as she attempted to hide her appearance.

Recognising the famous couple, an onlooker claimed they saw Joe, 42, storming down the road outside Westcliff on Sea train station in EsSєx while furiously puffing on a vape after the argument.

They revealed: ‘Joe came out of a building on his own and stormed off down the street, he looked upset and was sitting on some steps for a while.

‘Stacey came out of the building in tears and she looked really emotional, she was hugging someone.’

The video showed Stacey embraced in a тιԍнт hug before another member of production went to check on Joe.

In May, Stacey revealed her dream was to quit TV work entirely to spend time with her five children and explained that she only wanted to take on work that she could do from home.

But she gave fans some hope by hinting that she could always be tempted back to TV screens to work on a pᴀssion project.

Discussing her work on the Glad We Had This Chat podcast, Stacey explained she wanted to spend more time with of her children and has had to reconsider her work commitments.

‘Each year I have a team meeting with my agent and everyone on the team to say, “What’s your plan, what’s your goals, blah, blah, blah”,’ she explained. 

Along with the television couple, who married in 2022, their children Zach, 16, Leighton, 12, Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, 22 months, will make appearances on the show

‘And this year when they asked me my five-year goals, I was like ‘I want to be a stay-at-home mum’.

Stacey and Joe will show the ‘highs and lows’ of family life with a large brood – after revealing they had adopted ducks while building her Pickle Cottage.

Amid their renovation, Stacey revealed the addition of two ducklings to her family on Instagram in June, as she shared a video of two of her children Rex, five, and Rose, two, cuddling them while she asked fans for name ideas.

She wrote: ‘Welcome To Pickle Cottage Little Ones. We are so excited to love you & we hope you love living here & being a part of our crazy family. We have no idea what to call our new babies yet, so any suggestions welcome.

‘Honestly wanted to make our garden home to ducklings for so long so thank you @luisazissman from giving us the opportunity to raise your hatchlings.’
