Stacey Solomon, the queen of home organisation, found herself at the centre of a hilarious domestic disaster this week—all thanks to her own famous advice. The Loose Women panellist and author of "Tap to Tidy" could only watch in stunned disbelief as her husband, actor Joe Swash, took her decluttering mantra to literal new heights, with chaotic results.
In a side-splitting Instagram Reel that has since gone viral, Stacey documented the aftermath of Joe's enthusiastic interpretation of her tidying hacks. Rather than creating order, the former EastEnders star had engineered what can only be described as a "wall of junk" in their sprawling Essex home, Pickle Cottage.
The DIY Debacle Unveiled
Joe’s well-intentioned project involved gathering every stray cable, charger, and electronic gadget he could find and attempting to mount them all on a wall. The result was a tangled, overwhelming eyesore that left Stacey speechless before she burst into laughter.
"What is that?" Stacey can be heard exclaiming in the video, her voice a mix of horror and amusement. The wall featured a chaotic web of wires, haphazardly stuck-up remote controls, and various tech items, all seemingly placed without any plan whatsoever.
A Lesson in Communication
The funny incident highlights the perils of miscommunication in home projects. While Stacey’s "Tap to Tidy" philosophy promotes simple, effective organisation, Joe’s execution was anything but. The clip served as a gentle reminder that even the best advice can go awry without a clear plan.
Fans were quick to flood the comments with laughter and relatable stories of their own partners' DIY mishaps, making the Reel an instant hit among followers.
Life at Pickle Cottage
The charmingly named Pickle Cottage has become the backdrop for much of Stacey’s family and home content. The incident proves that even in a picture-perfect home, chaos and comedy are never far away, endearing the family even more to their massive fanbase.
Ultimately, the story is a heartwarming look at modern family life—where even a tidying disaster can become a moment of shared laughter and a viral sensation.
