Stacey Solomon has dished the dirt on Loose Women's "strict" new policies as she returns to work during the coronavirus lockdown.
The panelist and mum-of-three, who recently returned to work back at the ITV studios, has revealed that she was "anxious" before learning about the dramatic changes put in place at the venue in the wake of the deadly virus.
The telly personality says she was riddled with anxiety prior to stepping foot in the Loose Women studios based in the capital as London was one of the "hardest-hit" areas by Covid-19.
However Stacey says she felt "safer" when she realised strict rules introduced at her workplace.
She told Metro : "But then when I realised how strict it was and the policies they have in place like you know, we do all our hair and makeup at home, we don’t get to the studio until literally minutes before we go on. All our briefings are done from home.
"And we're in separate rooms, we're not actually allowed to be anywhere near one another until we are on there," she added.
"And then we leave straight away after and everything is wiped down constantly, cleaned, and the crew is at a bare minimum."
The doting mother, who shares baby Rex with partner Joe Swash, added that her return to work was an "escape from everyday life at home".
She revealed: "So when I saw everything that was in place I do feel safer and actually then felt like thank goodness I've got a bit of an escape from everyday life at home which sounds terrible but sometimes it's nice to have that change of scenery!"
Stacey and Joe have been self-isolating at their gorgeous Essex home during the lockdown.
The couple have been holed up with Stacey's sons Zachary and Leighton, as well as their son Rex.
A representative for ITV has been contacted for comment.
