Stacey Solomon shows off idyllic garden where she married Joe Swash after letting it grow 'wild'

Stacey Solomon made the most of the sunshine as she enjoyed a cuppa outdoors at her idyllic family home. The Loose Women star excitedly took in her surroundings at Pickle Cottage as she videoed her garden.

The mother-of-five, 33, showed how the spot where she had tied the knot with husband Joe Swash last summer now looked very different. In a sweet video she greeted her Instagram followers as she panned the camera around the grass grown 'wild' since the start of the year.

"Good afternoon from the wild, wild woods. Just up there is where we got married and I haven't cut the grass in here at all this year," she said.

She explained: "I just wanted to let it grow wild and it's out of control. I love it so much." And Stacey marvelled: "These little flower weedy things are nearly as tall as me." Stacey added: "It's the most incredible thing I've ever seen. I dont know why I'm so excited by this but I am."

Stacey, who has three sons Zachary, 15, Leighton, 11, Rex, three, and two daughters Rose, one, and Belle, who was born in February, then said she was going to take some snaps in the garden of her girls, who were both born at Pickle Cottage. "I'm going to get the girls out here and take some pictures," she said.

She later shared a treasured photo with the words: "An afteroon in the wild wood with my girls, Propped my phone on a log and this was the best the self timer could get."

The Sort Your Life Out presenter was recently hailed a 'superwoman' by former EastEnders star Joe as he shared a video of his wife tending to their children on her first day back at work after welcoming Belle.

"Just because It was my first day back to filming away since I had Belle and starting a whole new job and this just made my whole day," she wrote as she shared Joe's bolstering message with the song The Best.

"I know this is not a very exciting reel but it made me smile so much. It really is the little, moments . And yes I’m chomping on a whole boiled egg because I haven’t been able to dip my soldiers in since 2008 when I became a mum P.S this was the song Joe sent to me on that message. I’m not suggesting that I’m 'simply the best.'"

Joe, who recently won hearts in he jungle on I'm a Celebrity South Africa, told her: "Took this video of you before you went to work. Girls are having a sleep and can't stop watching it. " He added: "We love u bub. Go and smash it today like you smash everything. Just look at you. You're our f***ing superwoman."

Stacey and Joe shed tears of joy as they said 'I do' last July. Sharing a stunning wedding video montage the star wrote: "Forever After. My whole heart…"

"These are the memories we’ve laughed about and thought about every day for the last month! I promise this is the last one now We just got our mini video highlights back and I just couldn’t not share it with you.

"It’s Rose waving at Joe as she comes down the isle, Zachary’s smile, Rose’s dancing, the cake, being up on the chairs (imagined that moment for so long I don’t know why), the boys happiness just EVERYTHING. All of those moments I didn’t see and all of those moments I remember like it was yesterday."
