Stacey Solomon has discovered unusual items as she and her family have moved into their new home. The Sort Your Life Out star recently announced the family were leaving Pickle Cottage and moving into a new £2m house they are calling "Pickle Project".
Exploring the top floor
The TV presenter, along with her partner Joe Swash, have left their Essex home for a bigger property with more land for their farm animals, crops and vegetable patches. Stacey shared on Friday that the family were leaving "imminently" after years of transforming Pickle Cottage into her dream family home.
The family have now moved into their new property, which Stacey explained requires a full renovation. She recently shared a video on Instagram as they explored their new home and found hidden treasures.
Hidden treasures discovered
After climbing up a ladder to reach the top floor, Stacey revealed an orange bathroom before showing followers the empty rooms with a fireplace and an old TV. Stacey's dad picked up a leather box before telling the cameras: "Stacey thinks this is a gun, it's definitely an old-fashioned projector."
Stacey's youngest children, daughters Rose, four, and Belle, three, also explored the new home and discovered an old book, a horse riding helmet, a vintage tennis racket and an old set of dominoes.
Fans react
The former X-Factor star added the caption: "The Top Floor. Come with us… starting from the top and working the way down. Here’s us exploring and finding some treasures that the last people left behind. I need your opinion. Is that orange bath suite nice? Because I love it & Can someone tell me what these dominos are made of please And whether I should keep that 80s TV because it actually makes me feel so happy and nostalgic when I look at it."
Taking to the comments, one fan said: "Omg!!! It has so much potential can't wait to see what you do." A second said: "WOW, I bet you had so much fun finding all of this. This is house already is looking incredible!! So happy for you all." A third said: "OMG…… some amazing little finds! This is so exciting and definitely a project." A fourth said: "Love all the old things, so fascinating, can't wait to see what you do with everything xxx."
Leaving Pickle Cottage
Stacey and Joe spent years renovating Pickle Cottage, which boasted over 2.5 acres of land. The couple share son Rex, seven, and daughters Rose, four, and Belle, three. Stacey also has older sons Zachary, 18, with former partner Dean Cox, and Leighton, 14, with ex-fiance Aaron Barham.
In a post on Friday, Stacey told her fans: "We are leaving Pickle Cottage, which I never ever thought I would say. We're moving imminently. Leaving Pickle Cottage was a massive, massive decision for us."
Pickle Cottage was the subject of their recent fly-on-the-wall documentary. The couple invited viewers into their home as part of the BBC series, called "Stacey & Joe". The programme followed their daily life as they documented the highs and lows of life, juggling work, play, parenting and their ever-growing menagerie of pets - four ducks, four ducklings and two dogs. In the opening series, viewers watched across six episodes as moments from the life of Stacey and Joe were shown to millions, including Stacey winning an NTA, the couple navigating Joe's ADHD diagnosis and their son receiving his GCSE results.
