Stacey Solomon baffles fans as she puts Christmas decorations up six weeks early

Stacey Solomon has divided fans by putting her Christmas decorations up six weeks early.

The Loose Women star said she was repurposing some of her old decorations so she can have a ‘forage Christmas’ this year.

She showed her 5.4 million Instagram followers a video of an old white artificial tree she never uses.

In the next shot she revealed she had magically transformed it using pamper grass stems.

Although it’s not quite finished yet, she said she ‘couldn’t resist’ putting the tree up as she encouraged fans to go greener this festive season.

“I want to try and make all of my decorations out of things I already have & things I can find in the garden (or someone else’s garden),” the mum-of-four said.

Stacey, who is known for her love of crafts, continued: “Because I love making stuff so so much & I’ve collected so much over the years it seems a waste to buy anything new, but it is nice to change it a little each year.

“Also I know so many people find Christmas so expensive anyway, so I thought I’d try and find as many ways to decorate for next to nothing as possible.

“Maybe we can share ideas and have some fun with it and it will be a less pressure way to decorate this year.”

Revealing the results of her handiwork, the 33-year-old told fans: “After I showed you I started, couldn’t resist.

“This is as far as Farmer Scott’s bush got me so I reckon I’ll need to find another bush or two. And also use whatever I already have in the house to create a good shape.

“If any of you are thinking of adding these or any stems to bush out a tree start foraging now.”

And Stacey is not the only celebrity getting into the festive spirit early.

Last week former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan revealed she had put her festive decorations up seven weeks early.

The star, who plays Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, took to her Instagram stories to show off her newly-decorated living room.

It features a towering Christmas tree with silver ribbons, silver baubles and quirky trinkets hanging from it.

She didn't stop there however, as the proud mum added a classic nutcracker model to the Christmas corner of her living room, as well as two large festive-themed candles which tied the whole look together.

Helen said she knows some fans may think it's a tad too early to get in the festive spirit - but insisted her kids love to start the festive season earlier than most.

"I know I'm really early, but I was so late with my tree last year and the girls love it," Helen explained.

It comes as Helen's Christmas could be a bittersweet this year following reports that she and her fiancé Scott, who she shares three children with, have split after 13 years together.
