Stacey Solomon worries over cost of living causing 'scary' Pickle Cottage bills

Stacey Solomon has opened up on how "scared" she is about facing the rising energy costs.

The Loose Women presenter shares her £1.2m Pickle Cottage home with husband Joe Swash and their blended family - Rex and Rose, who they have together as well as Zachery, Leighton and Harry who they each have with previous partners.

The 32-year-old said that if prices continue to rise then they may struggle to be able to afford their bills for their luxurious home. The Essex property boasts a huge amount of land which allowed them to have enough space to hold their wedding ceremony there back in summer.

Speaking to The Guardian, Stacey said: "If our energy bill doubles, then it might well be beyond our means in the future. I’m not saying it is the same for us as someone on the breadline, ’cos it blooming well isn’t. But it’s such a scary time."

She added: "How have we allowed the country to get to this point? How can the government not be prepared for it?" The couple have worked hard to renovate their family home - with Stacey even creating a 'Tap to Tidy' book about how she did all of her own DIY projects.

The house boasts an impressive two acres of land, as well as an outdoor swimming pool. There is even a home gym for Joe as well as a Cluedo-style games room.
