Stacey Solomon showed her life isn't always as clean and tidy as it is in her Instagram posts as she shared the realities of motherhood. The Loose Women star shared a photo of her daughter Rose laughing in the sink of her stunning family home, named Pickle Cottage, over the weekend.
The 11-month-old looked as happy as Larry after she had created a very big mess for her mum to deal with. Stacey posted a photo of her little girl giggling while sat in a sink full of soapy water and penned: "Good morning, happy Sunday. A poonami in the morning can only mean one thing! Sink bath [soap and laughing emojis]."
She then asked her millions of Instagram followers: "How has your Sunday started off?" But Stacey's not-so-ideal start to a relaxing Sunday got much better as she headed to see her best pal Sophie Hinchliffe, best known to social media users as Mrs Hinch.

The pair have been friends for a number of years with two of their children, Rex and Ronnie, being born around a similar time. Joined by her sister, Jemma, Stacey headed off the Sophie's sprawling £1.1m farm. Taking to Instagram, she shared videos of her and her children making friends with the alpacas in the Essex countryside.
In another clip Rose, who will turn one in October, clapped her hands with glee as she sat beside "Pat the chicken". She then showed off Sophie's spotless living room as Stacey confessed to feeling guilt over running the perfect hoover lines in the carpet which was now covered in her feet marks.
As a montage of videos began to play on her Instagram Story as Stacey gave fans a tour of Hinch Farm, the 32-year-old penned: When I met @mrshinchhome 3 years ago we had just had Ronnie & Rex... I'm so grateful to have found someone I relate to so much and confide and lean on when I really need to."
As their children tucked into pizza, Stacey said: "It's so special to see our children grow up together. So grateful for you @mrshinchhome."
She then shared a round-up of snaps to her main Instagram grid as they joined the alpacas in Sophie's small holding at her lavish new home. "The best kind of day," Stacey gushed. "Spending the last day of summer with friends, family, fur & feathered friends. P.S this caption to us 40 minutes to think of and it doesn’t show."
Sophie was quick to comment, writing in response: "Wouldn’t change our craziness for the world thank you girlies." And fans loved seeing them enjoy their time together. @houseproud19 said: "Awww such gorgeous photos." @ms_holly_wood_lifestyle commented: "Looking amazing @mrshinchhome @staceysolomon @label.lady.1. Total girl squad goals."
