Stacey Solomon joked she was shaving her legs as part of her 'birthday tradition' for fiancé Joe Swash.
The former EastEnders star recently celebrated his 40th birthday, and Stacey has been hard at work renovating one of the rooms in their gorgeous Essex mansion in order to give Joe a ‘playroom’ filled to the brim with his favourite things.
The Loose Women panellist, 32, has been painting and drilling, in between feeding their baby daughter Rose, and has installed a pool table in the room, as well as a juice bar, and a dart board.
Stacey has been sharing details of the project on her Instagram Stories, and told her followers she had blocked Joe from seeing the posts so she could surprise him over the weekend.
And the former X Factor star had one more treat up her sleeve for Joe, and she uploaded a photo of herself enjoying a soak in the rolltop bath she had installed in their main bedroom.
“Not only did he get fishing and his man cave for his 40th I've only treated him to his birthday tradition and shaved my legs,” she joked. “Just up to the knees but still.”
Stacey dubbed the old-fashioned space the ‘Cluedo room’, and said she’s been desperate to show Joe the finished man cave but had to wait for their blended family to be together over the weekend.
“Joe’s coming back from fishing later so I’ve invited a few of his friends & family over as a surprise in the Cluedo room. Finally, today is the day we get to show him,” she wrote.
The couple, who started dating in 2016, share two children - son Rex, two, and baby Rose, who arrived in October last year.
Stacey is also mum to son Leighton, nine, and Zachary, 13, from previous relationships, while former EastEnders star Joe is dad to Harry, 14, who he shares with ex-fiancee Emma Sophocleous.
The couple’s love story began in 2010, as they met when Stacey won that year's I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! while Joe was hosting the spin-off how and just over 10 years after they first locked eyes on each other, Joe popped the question over Christmas in 2020.
Stacey and Joe were due to get married last year at Pickle Cottage, but their plans were postponed following the news the Loose Women star was pregnant.
They’re now planning on tying the knot this year in the grounds of their spectacular Essex mansion, and have been tirelessly renovating the multi-million pound estate.
