Stacey Solomon only had a few simple requests when it came to how she wanted to spend her hen do ahead of her wedding later this month. The Loose Women panelist has been sharing updates from her Greek getaway which was organised by her sister, Jemma.
She jetted off earlier this week with her sister, who will act as Maid of Honour when Stacey marries Joe Swash at the end of July, and a number of her best friends to Mykonos. She revealed the location of her hen on Saturday before heading back to the UK to be reunited with her husband-to-be and 'pickles'.
"Honestly, I’ve never been to Mykonos before it is the most beautiful island, everything is so stunning! I’m going to miss the white, blues and pinks on every corner," Stacey said as she explored the island's old town one last time, grabbing inspiration for her own sprawling garden at her £1.2m Essex home.

Later, as she sat on the plane, the 32-year-old shared a picture of them waiting to take off while reflecting on her trip away. Presenter Stacey branded her hen "the absolute time of my life," revealing that she hasn’t been away from her 'babies' since her sister’s hen party four years ago.
"And I didn't really before then," she continued. "I forgot how amazing it feels to be silly with your friends. To spend time with the girls and really just relax for a few days. I'm so grateful to have had the chance to do this trip."
Stacey then ended her post: "And I'm so grateful to my sisters and my friends who have made me feel so so special. I couldn't live without these girls..." She went on to share a montage she said she had spent the flight creating of all her bridal squad while away in Greece.
But during Friday night's edition of Celebrity Gogglebox, filmed the night before Stacey headed on her hen, the mum-of-four shared her excitement. "Your hen do's coming up innit?" Joe, 40, asked his wife-to-be, to which she excitedly replied: ”One more sleep, wooo!" It comes just days after the former EastEnders actor came back from his stag in Ibiza.
Joe then asked Stacey: "Do you know what you're doing yet?" but at the time, she was nonethewiser. Her millions of followers now know she enjoyed a stunning sunset dinner by the beach, horse riding and a boat trip with some snorkeling thrown in.
While she didn't know the specifics at the time of filming for the Channel 4 show, the Sort Your Life Out stare did go on to reveal her wish list of what she would like to happen while she was away - and it was all very wholesome with no wild antics.
"I'm going to sleep, I'm going to eat healthy, I'm not going to have to carry a car seat in and out of a car every time I go somewhere," she said. "It's just the little things, do you know... I love them, I love those little things. I'm also really excited just to not do them for a couple of days!"
She then concluded: "I’m not going to have to put a wash on! I'm not going to have to scrape the plates and put them in the dishwasher! I'm going to be living my best life."
