She first rose to fame as a 19- year-old single mum auditioning for The X Factor in the hopes of becoming a pop star. But while singing isn’t her profession nowadays, The X Factor certainly changed Stacey’s life for the better.
A well-loved member of the Loose Women panel, author and DIY guru, there isn’t much the mum-of-five, 34, can’t do now. Over the years, fans – including her 5.8 million Instagram followers – have come to rely on her for decluttering tips and mum hacks, but above all, her unapologetic honesty. So it’s unsurprising that when Woman’s Own chatted to Stacey about series four of her home improvement show, Sort Your Life Out, the star admits filming away from her five children was ‘a struggle’.
Here, the ‘queen of clean’ opens up about the toughest parts of filming, why she fears she might lose everything, plus the celebrity home she’d most like to declutter.
Hi Stacey, what can we look forward to in this new series?
Every series just gets better and better. We gain knowledge from the series before, so we can do things slightly differently and more efficiently. There’s also some bigger and much harder stories. I’ve never had a show go on as long as four series, so I’m really grateful. And we’re about to start shooting series five, so that’s exciting.
