Stacey Solomon shares home 'rule' as she admits to fears of being 'punked' alongside unedited family snap

Stacey Solomon revealed her big home 'rule' as she soaked up the praise from fans for sharing an unedited bikini snap. The Sort Your Life Out host spent her weekend making the most of the sunny weather with her family in their huge outdoor pool.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday (June 4), mum-of-five Stacey could be seen posing in a white bikini, alongside her husband, ex-EastEnders actor Joe Swash, and the three children they share together, Rex, four, one-year-old Rose, and baby Belle, who was born in February.

She followed the first snap of the fivesome beaming into an outdoor mirror our more of the family enjoying the pool under the bright sun. Writing alongside the sun-soaked, family images, Stacey opened up about experiencing imposter syndrome and how she's so grateful for the opportunities she's been given.

"Sunny Sundays. Just because I was so grateful to be home in the sunshine today with Joe & the pickles," the 33-year-old started. "Always feel so grateful… I’ll never take for granted how lucky we are," Stacey continued.

"My full on imposter syndrome will always keep me in check. I’m always forcing my friends, family, and just the local village really, over here just incase one day Ashton Kutcher jumps out of a bush and tells us we’ve all been Punk’d and it’s not really our pool. Happy Sunday Everyone."

And Stacey's millions of loyal followers were quick to gush over the happy snaps, particularly praising the TV star for being 'real' with her choice of images.

@mrsmunsey.22 shared: "Stacey you are beautiful inside and out , you’ve worked hard and deserve everything you have, never feel an imposter." @stephloutaylor posted: "You are GLOWING! Absolutely stunning Stacey! A true role model to everyone!" @jeanmitch13 told her: "Don’t ever doubt how brilliant you are and how much you deserve everything you have."

@honeysuckle2609 added: "Stacey you are such a lovely and genuine person who has worked hard and continues to do so !! All this has not been handed to you on a plate , you deserve wonderful Pickle cottage and the pool , and the stunning garden. Love these photos , just so natural instead of ‘ Instagram poses ‘ . You are a fabulous family."

But before all the pool fun, Stacey took to her Instagram Story to show the rule her children - and her husband - have to follow before they get to enjoy the luxury addition to their Essex abode. Posting a video set to the Jack Johnson track 'Better Together', Joe, Rose and Rex could be seen sweeping up as Stacey kept an eye on a wide-awake Belle.

"Good morning from our family of sweepers," the former X Factor star laughed. "The rules are, if you want to swim you have to help look after the pool," she added with a crying laughing emoji.

She also shared her 'worry' for son Rex as she burst with pride over his swimming skills. She shared how the four-year-old's swimming lessons had been 'paying off' but could be heard in a video having to remind him to 'breathe' when in the pool.

"Rexy's swimming lessons have made him so confident," she typed alongside the clip. "I have to shout at him to keep coming up for breath because he prefers to swim underwater and he can get so far it worries me," Stacey added with another crying laughing emoji.
