Stacey Solomon makes festive blunder as she prepares for 'mad rush' on Christmas Day

Stacey Solomon has shared a very relatable story on social media once again.

Like many other busy parents across the country right now, the Loose Women presenter is not as organised as she'd like to be ahead of Christmas Day.

Despite Father Christmas visiting Pickle Cottage yesterday, Stacey - who lives in the Essex mansion with fiance Joe Swash and their children - is a little bit behind schedule with her Christmas chores.

The mum-of-four took to her Instagram Stories this afternoon to confess she had "left everything to the last minute" in terms of preparing for the big day tomorrow.

Sharing an adorable snap of son Rex, two, by some personalised stockings, Stacey, 32, admitted she was looking forward to the "mad rush" of Christmas Day - her and her family's first in Pickle Cottage.

"Happy Christmas Eve," the former X Factor star captioned the first update on Christmas Eve.

"I hope you're all OK. Me and Rex and Elfie put the stockings up this morning."

The Sort Your Life out presenter added: "Now I need to clean the fire and set the table and then watch Christmas films and wrap.

"I've left everything to the last minute this year. But I'm excited for a mad Christmas rush day."

Stacey then went on to keep her millions of followers updated on her progress - sharing a clip of her and a helpful Rex cleaning the fireplace and revealing her plans for Christmas dinner with the whole family tomorrow in the conservatory.

It's been a busy year for Stacey and former EastEnders actor Joe.

The happy couple not only moved into their dream property at the start of 2021, but also welcomed their second child into the world together in October, daughter Rose.

Speaking on the Loose Women Christmas special today, Stacey and Joe revealed all about their plans to tie the knot now their daughter has completed their family - following the actor's festive proposal at the end of last year.

When quizzed by co-host Ruth Langsford about her impending nuptials, Stacey seemed to set a date for what is sure to be one of the celebrity weddings of the year.

"Get your hat out, Ruth," the mum-of-four told her ITV colleague.

"Yes, we would love… if all goes well.. because Covid’s still massive and you never know what’s around the corner, but we would love to get married in July next year, we really would. It will be so nice to have the boys and Rose there."

Baby Rose was born back in October, on Stacey's 32nd birthday, and is the blended family's first daughter.

Stacey also shares Rex, two with partner Joe, as well as Zachary, 13, and nine-year-old Leighton from previous relationships.

Joe is also dad to Harry, 13, from a past relationship.
