The application to the Intellectual Property Official also falls under the classification for toys and books, meaning she can sell 'Pickle Cottage' branded goods for children too.
If granted it will mean Stacey, who is already a multi-millionaire, can boost her bank balance even more by using the name of her family home.
The clever business move comes as Stacey and her husband Joe Swash, 43, plan to open the doors to Pickle Cottage for their own documentary series.
Stacey and Joe moved into their mock-Tudor Essex property in 2021.
