Stacey, 32, headed to her Instagram stories with clips of the house as she told fans she was "so grateful and excited" to see it finally coming together.

Filming round the empty kitchen, the Loose Women panellist showed how everything - including the floors and ceilings - had been stripped back.

She detailed how windows had been added into the space and updated, including two stunning sky lights which were fit with chandeliers underneath.

"We finally have windows and the structural work is done," Stacey celebrated. "It's taken a long time and I'm so grateful and excited to see it starting to take shape.

"It makes my tummy go. I can't believe we've almost been at Pickle Cottage for a YEAR now and my favourite room is finally taking shape."

Former X Factor star Stacey went on to reveal how youngest son Rex, two, was also having his en-suite bathroom decorated as part of the renovations.

"Rex's bathroom is directly above the kitchen which needed re plumbing, so we had to go through his bathroom and stripped it out," she went on.

Showing the new tiles and wood she had chosen for the room, the mum detailed how she was hopping to create a "Jurassic Park" theme.

"I'm going to add some Jurassic Park tones to it for Rex," the star added as she joked that she was totally "obsessed" with the make-over plans.

It comes days after Stacey shared the heartwarming moment when she unveiled a games room to her fiancé Joe Swash for his 40th birthday present.

The 32-year-old uploaded the sweet moment when Joe saw the games room for the first time at their £1.2million home - and it went down a treat.

Ahead of the reveal, the Loose Women panellist wrote on Instagram: "Joe's coming back from fishing later, so I've invited a few of his friends and family over as a surprise in the Cluedo room.

"Finally, today is the day we get to show him."

Joe was soon left speechless and Stacey shared the footage of her fiancé hugging their children as they celebrated inside the games room.

Stacey also gave a mini-tour of the gorgeous games room which features a huge pool table along with a sign engraved with the words: "We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing."

The mum-of-four looked over the moon as she shared a sweet snap with Joe next to the grey pool table in the centre of the room.

Stacey penned alongside the footage of the reveal: "We hope you had the best birthday ever and we can’t wait to make memories with you forever in your den.

"You’re always doing everything you can to make us happy so making your man cave was just the best project ever. You mean everything to us."

Stacey also shared some sweet details in the room, including a MasterChef trophy after Joe was a runner-up on the series in 2021.
