Inside Stacey Solomon’s expensive & ‘hard to book’ trip to Lapland UK as she jokes Santa is ‘filling in’ for Joe Swash
This follow's Joe's lorry accident
STACEY Solomon is getting her family in the Christmas spirit and recently took her kids on a bumper festive day out.
The Loose Women star and mum-of-five, 35, shared how she took her children to Lapland UK, without husband Joe Swash, 42.
Stacey uploaded photos from their day, which involved walking through a Christmas tree-lined wonderland, writing letters to Santa, and meeting the big man himself.
Although she admitted the experience was “hard to book”, and “expensive”, the TV personality wrote on Instagram: “I just love being with my babies so much.
“I live for these days.
“A day with Santa & the little pickles. Special days.”
Speaking of Joe missing the fun, Stacey added: “Missing you dad but Santa is filling in nicely.”
This comes after her Joe was involved in a horror car crash with a lorry.
Joe recovered from the accident in his panto dressing room, as he shared: “Don’t worry, I’m okay!”
He added: “You should have seen the lorry! lol.”
Stacey, who lives with her family in £1.2million Pickle Cottage, which has its own library and 2.5 acres of land, recently posed in an all-white ensemble as she teased her career plans for 2025.
The Loose Women panellist, who recently launched a new kids’ range at Primark, shared: “Had such a lovely day today.
“So excited for what 2025 is going to bring.”
She then revealed her nerves for new beginnings, as she added: “Feeling nervous for next year.
“Lots of big changes, and some new ventures way out of my comfort zone.”
Despite this, she highlighted that she had “always dreamed” of such projects, as she concluded: “But working on things I’ve always dreamed of…
“And I’m excited to finally have the courage to do them.”
Posting on her next social media story, Stacey, who first came on the scene thanks to The X Factor in 2009, responded to fans who complimented her outfit.
Stacey, who then went on to star in I’m A Celebrity in 2010, confirmed that it was all down to her stylist – Faye Sawyer – who she has worked with for over a decade.
Stacey’s update comes less than four weeks after she was pictured breaking down in tears after a ‘row with Joe Swash in the street’.
