Stacey Solomon leaves home for week with famous bestie after sharing why her Christmas starts at 4am

Stacey Solomon has shared how she'll be back and forth between her home and work for the next week as she takes her famous bestie along for the ride. The TV star revealed over the weekend that she'll be working on Sort Your Life out just before Christmas and has teamed up with Sophie Hinchcliffe, aka Mrs Hinch, for the latest episode.

Stacey has been busy for much of the end of the year working on her BBC show but now she has finally been allowed to take one of her closest friends and cleaning expert Mrs Hinch along.

Sharing the news to her 5.4million Instagram followers, Stacey, 33, wrote alongside an image of the pair wrapped up warm in the frosty outdoors on her stories: "Happy Sunday everyone... I'll be back and forth to Wales for the next week for the last episode of Sort Your Life Out."

The mum-of-four added: "So grateful I get to do it with a special friend this time. @mrshinchhome makes working away so so lovely! To the moon and back Soph! Let's do this." Sophie, 32, then shared the same snap to her 4.1million Instagram followers, writing: "Filming with this one @staceysolomon.

"I'm joining the last episode of Sort Your Life Out guys. Can't believe it! Beautiful road trips through Wales with my special friend." She then added a quote to the sweet post which read: "Have the courage to step out of your comfort zone. Embrace different opportunities, block out those negative thoughts. Persue what you've always wanted to try - Soulful."

Speaking to Chris Evans on his Virgin Radio breakfast show last week, Stacey revealed how excited she was to finally get Mrs Hinch involved in the show. She said: "I’ve been asking and asking and trying to get her on Sort Your Life Out for so long. And I finally managed to convince her, so she’s doing an episode with us and she’s so brilliant and funny and smart.

"Honestly, I love her to pieces." Joking about their shared interest in organisation and cleaning, Stacey added: "When we get together, we are the saddest people on Earth."

Stacey's intermittent time away from home comes just days before Christmas. The former X Factor finalist and I'm A Celebrity winner has been sharing her plans for the festive season and revealed how her husband Joe Swash is usually the first up on Christmas Day - at 4am!

“We look forward to the same thing every single year – just stopping,” Stacey told The Sunday Mirror’s Notebook magazine when talking about her and Joe's first Christmas as a married couple after they tied the knot in a stunning garden ceremony this summer. "We know that on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day we’ll be home with our kids, and for us that’s the most exciting thing."

Stacey, 33, went on to reveal that while she does the prep-work, on Christmas Day it is Joe who takes over, cooking the dinner and building the kids’ toys. "They’re definitely a present for Joe, too!” she said before revealing: "Christmas morning starts at about 4am, [and] it’s Joe who’s the first one up, running downstairs to find his stocking!

"We have breakfast in our pyjamas and then we get dressed, because I like everyone to wear something nice on Christmas Day – much to their dismay!"
