Stacey Solomon has shared her latest home hack on Instagram on Sunday as she decluttered her lavish dressing room at her £1.2million Pickle Cottage in Essex.
As part of her ‘January reset’, the Loose Women star, 35, showed her six million followers how to ‘hide the ugly wires’ from their hairdryers and straighteners and also showed off her latest shoe hack.
Showing all the wires hanging from the socket leading to her hair appliances, Stacey explained how she used to hide them behind her mirror.
However since moving the mirror over to her window to make use of the natural lighting the wires have been driving her ‘insane’.
She said: ‘This in my dressing room is the last thing I want to do. It’s driving me absolutely insane.
‘What can I do that doesn’t involve me having to chase wires through the wall and down and out and whatever.’

The Sort Your Life Out star revealed she has since bought a large black box and punched the back out of it to hang on the wall with the wires tucked inside.
She continued: ‘I bought this picture frame and printed this picture that I’m going to glue to the top of the box, hang the box in front of that so it will just look like a nice picture of me and my bridesmaids.’
After attaching the photo to the box and putting the box on the wall over the plug socket, Stacey seemed thrilled with the end result.
She added: ‘Voila, I can put my toothbrush in there. I’m so happy, so much better.’
Stacey also shared a before picture of her dressing room with hangers and clothes scattered on the floor and a yellow ‘Caution cleaning in progress’ sign placed in the door way.
The mother-of-five also revealed her latest shoe hack as she hung her boots on clips on a rail in her wardrobe.
Days earlier Stacey divided fans with another home hack as she attempted to declutter her wardrobe as she said she was fed up of her underwear getting mixed up in a draw and recommended her fans to get a plastic bag holder.
She said: ‘So, today I put my knickers in a plastic bag holder – cause I’m sick of my knickers, bras and socks getting all jumbled up in the drawer – so I’m separating them.’

To make room for more space in her shelves, Stacey hung her handbags on a tiny hanger in her wardrobe – which ironically took up half of the space.
The mum-of-five explained: ‘All my bags were on shelves just taking up the whole shelf – like four layers of shelves.
‘So I thought if I hang them all in here that’ll save me loads of shelf space. I’ve put them next to my good going-out dresses.’
One helpful hack Stacey did share was a four-layered hanger which could store several joggers or jeans neatly.
She captioned her post: ‘It’s so funny because every year I try to re-set.
‘I’ve done it on here with you guys for three years and I’m still trying to find new ways to make things easier because no matter what a lived-in/busy household will always get messy and out of control.
‘And you have to find ways that help you and work for your environment – and that changes all the time.’
Taking on husband Joe Swash’s wardrobe, Stacey splashed out on a kooky new contraption to hang up his jeans.
She said his trousers had been ‘bugging her’ due to the ex EastEnders actor, 42, not keeping them tidy.
So Stacey bought a ‘big spider’ rail that hangs on the wall in order for Joe to show off his ‘favourite 12 pairs’ – only to realise he only had nine after she’d drilled it into the plaster.
She then shared another ‘life changing’ trick and instead of returning her power tool to the tool box, used it to clean her bathroom.
She added polish to an attachment on the drill and used it to shine the taps on her roll top bath before showing off the gleaming results.
Stacey captioned the post: ‘This has changed my life. I guarantee NOTHING works better on silver than metal polish & a polisher attachment on the drill! I’m sorry but how SATISFYING’.

It comes after Stacey reportedly urged her partner Joe Swash to become more organised at home as they embark on a new year.
She is is well known for her decluttering expertise on her show Sort Your Life Out, reportedly expects her husband Joe, 42, to follow her lead in maintaining their Pickle Cottage.
The couple both live busy lives managing multiple jobs, animals, and children, and Stacey is determined to reduce unnecessary stress by organising their space and life.
A source told Closer: ‘She finds herself completely overwhelmed and anxious if things aren’t in order.’
‘She’s been ruthless this year at Pickle Cottage, completely decluttering the house from top to bottom. She’s been hoping that Joe will follow her lead and start trying to sort his life out at home, too.’
Stacey, who recently hinted at ‘big changes she’s always dreamed of,’ is now reportedly taking a firm stance to encourage Joe to ‘get his act together.’
The source added she ‘does a lot for him’ but is going to ‘put a foot down’ in 2025 and ‘tell him to get his act together’ when it comes to cleaning the house and organising his personal things.
Stacey previously confirmed that she and Joe have filmed a reality show focused on their family life.
Following reports that they were filming a ‘Kardashian-style’ series at their beloved Pickle Cottage, the Sort Your Life Out star took to Instagram on New Year’s Day to officially announce the news.
Sharing a sweet trailer to promote the series, the clip featured Stacey and Joe’s five children playing in the garden of their £1.2 million Essex home, alongside their dogs Teddy and Peanut, and her ducks Daisy and Delilah.
The show, titled Stacey & Joe, will air on the BBC later this year, with an air date yet to be announced.
Captioning the post, Stacey wrote: ‘A new year. A very new adventure. Coming Spring 2025. We’ve been so nervous & excited to share this. Here is us. All of us.’
‘In 2024 we opened up our home & made a series about our lives, family, work & everything in between.’

‘It was a huge leap into the unknown & it’s been an absolute whirlwind making it. But last year as a family we decided to say yes to more & do things we’d never done.’
‘We have spoken about making a documentary for a long time, lots of you have asked too. So here we go. A journey with us every second of the way.’
‘Through the laughter the tears & the craziness… We hope it makes you smile, feel good & hopefully enjoy getting to know us all a little more.’
