Stacey Solomon never shies away from being honest about the challenges of a hectic lifestyle.
The former Loose Women panellist is adored for her candour about home life with five children and multiple animals to care for, and it seems the last fortnight has been “intense” for her.
The 35-year-old took to her social media to share with her followers how Joe being away from the family home has meant that things have been a little busier than normal.
“The last two weeks have been INTENSE. Joe has been in Italy filming and obviously with teddy, the kid, the garden, the other animals and work it’s been wild,” she explained.
Her caption accompanied a photo of two adorable chicks bathing in her porcelain white sink with gold tap, while some gorgeous pink tulips were watered on the other side of the sink.
Fortunately for Stacey, her husband’s return meant she could then put her feet up.
“He [came] back yesterday so I’m having a ME day,” she continued. “Chicks and tulips… went to the flower market this morning and now I’m putting the chicks out and then I’m off to the shops to get Leighton’s birthday bits for tomorrow.”

Others enjoyed the show, with one writing online: “Great couple, really enjoyed the show. Joe doing yoga made me cry with laughter. Looking forward to watching the whole series.”
