Stacey Solomon reveals her very famous friend will appear in Sort Your Life Out
STACEY Solomon has revealed one of her very famous friends will appear in Sort Your Life Out soon.
The BBC One show follows presenter Stacey, 33, as she attempts to help families declutter and organise their messy and disorderly homes.
But for the latest series, she's enlisted cleaning influencer Mrs Hinch, 33, to give her a helping hand.
Both hailing from Essex, the pair are firm friends so it makes perfect sense for the social media star – real name Sophie Hinchliffe – to step in for series regular Dilly Carter.
Stacey told , “Dilly had other commitments so we had to find somebody just for one of the episodes to fill in.
“The closest I could think of was Mrs Hinch, because she’s amazing. It was nice to work with her as well as have your mate on set.”

Sort Your Life Out's third series kicked off this week, with the “fullest warehouse” Stacey has ever seen.
On Thursday night’s episode, Stacey and her team headed to the home of Tom and Chloe Watling, which was overflowing with baking equipment, sweets, books and kids’ toys.
After the team brought all of Tom, Chloe and their daughter’s Arya and Nerea’s belongings, the family of four were excited to get stuck into the sorting.
The family’s 243 boxes filled the 15,000 square foot warehouse.

Shocked at the sight of it, Chloe gasped.
“No! No way! I did not expect it to be this much!” she said, to which Stacey admitted: “This has got to be one of the fullest warehouses I have ever seen.”
Still stunned, Chloe added: “I cannot believe this all fits in our house!”
Knowing that Chloe was overly attached to many possessions as “a way to hold on to the past,” Stacey thought the book section would be an easy place for the family to start.
However, just minutes into sorting, Chloe burst into tears after seeing a book from her childhood.
Tom had found a French version of The Little Prince, which Chloe’s grandparents used to read to her, and it had a special message in the front.
Chloe immediately welled up at the sight of it.
She admitted to Stacey: “My grandparents used to live in France. My grandpa has passed away now, but I didn’t think that would get to me.”
Stacey was very understanding of the special book, offering Chloe a hug and telling her they should put that special item in the memory box.
“Honestly, I didn’t think books would be this intense,” Stacey joked afterward, trying to lighten the mood.
Away from the family and speaking to the camera, Stacey added: “We have never had tears in the first 10 minutes... I feel awful!”
