Stacey Solomon finally starts work on the swimming pool at her £1.2million Essex mansion

Stacey Solomon is finally making progress on the outdoor swimming pool at her £1.2million Essex mansion.

The mum-of-four initially hoped the pool would have been finished last summer - but Storm Eunice was just the latest in a long line of setbacks for the project.

She shared footage of the uncompleted pool, telling fans: "Project pool is back on. The tiles are out, it's been drained and hopefully in a little while we'll have a pool."

The Loose Women panellist said she hopes the pool will now be ready for use in "a few weeks".

Stacey jumped straight back into renovating Pickle Cottage after she returned to the family home after spending a few days working away.

Her projects have included a games room for her fiancé Joe Swash, 40, and she more recently unveiled a dinosaur-themed bathroom that she designed for their son Rex, two.

The presenter, 32, regularly posts home renovation content on Instagram, with her 5 million followers having become used to seeing her take on DIY tasks within her property.

The X Factor alum said in a video message: "It's so nice to be home. I know I haven't been away for months or anything but it just felt like ages. So it's nice to sit on the sofa."

She told her followers that she would be "catching-up on housework" this afternoon and revealed that "a couple of bits got started" on renovations while she was away.

Stacey promised her followers that she would "do a little update," mentioning the pool and the kitchen. She both areas in separate posts shortly after the video message.

She commented: "I know I said I'd give you a kitchen update but I've come in here and nothing's changed, because I haven't been here. So I've got to finish all the painting."

The TV presenter however said that she will hopefully get the painting done this week whilst she's off work, adding: "Then we can make a decision of what kitchen to put in."

And she later added that the shower in the main bathroom has been prepped for new tiles. She asked her followers whether they preferred rectangular or hexagonal tiles.
