Stacey Solomon reveals heartbreakingly sweet reason she'd rather stay at Pickle Cottage with her kids than go out partying
Stacey Solomon has opened up about making the most of time with her family, admitting her "favourite part of the day" is heading back to Pickle Cottage to see her five children. The TV personality resides in a stunning mansion in the Essex countryside with her husband Joe Swash.
Stacey, 34, and Joe, 42, share Rex, four, Rose, two, and Belle, one, and Stacey is also mum to sons Zachary, 16, and Leighton, 12, from previous relationships. The mum of five documents her home life on social media, having amassed millions of followers thanks to her relatable content and household tips and hacks.
With Stacey and Joe's mansion being absolutely stunning inside and outside, it comes as no surprise that she loves spending time there. Speaking in a new interview, the Loose Women panellist revealed she'd always pick spending time at home rather than being out partying with fellow celebs, and there's a special reason behind her choice.
“I love coming home. My favourite part of the day is getting excited about coming home to Pickle Cottage, where I live with my husband Joe and five kids," she told the Mirror.
She continued: “Actually, my favourite thing in the world is getting on the sofa. And first the dogs, then all the pickles follow along, piling on top of me. Just laying with them, watching TV, having cuddles and being together… it’s where I belong. I know all too well there’ll be a day when they’d rather play the PlayStation, so I’m making the most of these moments.”
Stacey is super busy thanks to her numerous TV projects and brand deals, having most recently launched a new outdoor play range with George at Asda. She's also the host of BBC's Sort Your Life Out and occasionally joins the Loose Women panel.
The busy mum explained that she's "always had a lot of energy" so her workload and home life don't exhaust her too much. She told how she feels when you're so busy you simply "drag" energy "up from somewhere" while looking forward to the days when you're to-do list isn't so busy.
Stacey also paid tribute to both hers and Joe's families, admitting the couple couldn't no "do what we do" without the support of their loved ones. She branded her own mum and dad "incredible" and explained that Joe's family "are really helpful".
