STACEY Solomon was left horrified when she returned home to Pickle Cottage to find an "awful" surprise.
The 33-year-old took to Instagram to share the discovery with her followers.
In a clip, showing Loose Women star Stacey holding her hand over her face, she said: "I don't know if I'm just tired or it really is as awful as I think it is.
"But I got home last night, put the kids to bed and woke up this morning and Joe was like 'I'm going to work, but don't worry I've done all the washing for you'."
Stacey joked: "I weren't even here, I didn't get dressed her but sure, it's for me, thank you.
"So I came downstairs, girls are down for a nap, and I thought I'd go in the utility room and put my washing on from Paris."

Turning the camera around to show piles of washing, she continued: "What the hell happened in the last two days?
"How many clothes did they wear that this much washing needed to be done? I caught up before I went away. And also I feel like putting it in the washing machine and putting it in the dryer is the easiest bit - I'm left with this!"
Stacey captioned the video: "What on earth happened here?"
She then shared a time lapse of her folding the clean clothes, and added: "Well that's 3 hours of my life I'll never get back."
