Stacey Solomon 'so excited' as she flaunts huge hat for first family holiday in 4 years

Stacey Solomon said she is "so excited" to go on a much-needed getaway with her family and she's already splashed out on a holiday essential.

The Loose Women panellist will soon be jetting off on her first family holiday in four years and took to Instagram on Saturday to show off her new purchase, as she revealed she had bought a huge sun hat.

In a video shared on her Story, Stacey said: "I've always wanted one of those giant summer hats, but I've never had anywhere to go to wear one so I thought, 'I'm buying one for this holiday,' and it's just arrived!"

Holding it up to the camera, Stacey disappeared behind the hat and said: "It's even more giant than I thought it would be."

She tried it on and asked: "How cool is this?

Stacey struggled to style the hat and asked: "How do you wear these? How do you wear these and see? That's not right, I look like a blooming fajita.

"Anyone have any tips for these, like, how do you put them on? I wanna look like Marilyn Monroe, not Speedy Gonzales.

"Oh my God, I just look like a giant pizza!"

She added: "There's gotta be a way, because if I can get this right how good would this be, not only as a glorious hat but also a really good shade mechanism for when I've got the baby."

In a second clip Stacey said: "I think I've got it. I think I've got the angle. This is it, isn't it?

"Don't mind me and my glamorous hat/baby sunshade."

She then started singing Shirley Bassey's Big Spender before joking: "I can't see a fricking thing."

Captioning the second video, Stacey wrote: "Found the angle. And now I'm off to buy starch spray. I knew you'd all know what I needed."

Earlier, Stacey shared a snap and wrote: "So last night we finally chose where to go on holiday & booked somewhere (thank you for your suggestions we went with what most of you said).

"We all together haven't been on an airplane since or [sic] last family holiday in 2019!!! 4 years ago.

"I'm sooo excited! It'll [be] Rose and Belle's first ever plane ride and Rex wouldn't remember the last time we took him when he was 5 months."
