At Pickle Cottage, Stacey and her husband Joe Swash reside with their children, and she frequently shares information with her followers.
Stacey Solomon frequently updates her followers on the progress being made at Pickle Cottage. The actress posted a video of their “new adventure” today, which made her feel emotional.
The mum-of-five took to her Instagram story to share a clip of her husband Joe Swash as they admired what looked like to be new fishing ponds. Stacey explained to her fans that they had gone to visit Joe’s lake and there is water in it due to the recent rain.
She wrote, “WE HAVE WATER, OVER THE TOP OF THE PART. I actually cry when my husband is so excited. She added a crying emoji to the end of the caption.

Stacey says, “Just come to his lake, and he’s got some water in it.” It’s amazing, babe, I can see it. It has rained for the first time, so there hasn’t been any water in here.
He is so excited, he says. Because it rained, this is making me feel emotional. He finally has some water in here after it consistently rains. Such a cute little thing.
She then stated that she made sure their husband built a place where they could rescue animals. Then Stacey made the joke that “I don’t care about fishing.” Animals are important to me.
This comes as Joe recently revealed his “stiffness” by giving a close look at his marriage to his wife Stacey. Vernon Kay, Rob Rinder, and Jordan Banjo, all of whom played the former EastEnders actor, appeared on ITV Loose Men on Wednesday (November 20), where they addressed a variety of issues.
However, one particular discussion sparked their conversation as they compared the family members’ efforts over the Christmas holiday.
Vernon began by stating that there are only five weeks until Christmas and that December is just around the corner. According to statistics, the woman in the house makes the most effort as the holiday season progresses.
Focusing on Joe, the TV host then asked: “So Joe, Stacey is Mrs Christmas. Is there any pressure on you when she gets cracking?”, reports OK!.
Joe admitted that “my schedule is always on me.” Just walk by my house and my door will let you know if you ever have questions about the month of the year.

“We will have a summer display on if it’s summer.” Christmas is coming up right now because we recently removed the Halloween display.
The actress continued, “I think a good relationship is about knowing your strengths and weaknesses, and one of my weaknesses is getting involved,” in a statement about his marriage. Because Stacey has vision and I’ll be running around, I like to take a step back.

Katie Price is “playing a significant role” in the Princess television series.
Katie Price often speaks about her children and it looks like she’s getting involved in Princess Andre’s reality show. The former glamour model is reported to be playing big role in helping Princess for the programme after dad Peter Andre dropped out.
The first series of The Princess Diaries hit ITV screens earlier this year and was well received by fans following the 18-year-old’s own rise to fame. The show follows her trying to make her own money away from her famous parents.
Although a second and third series have been planned, it is not anticipated that step-mom Emily, 36, and dad Peter, 52, will still be starring in either of them. Despite the fact that Princess is said to reside at their Surrey home with them,

Despite the teen spending a lot of time with her mum Katie, she failed to appear on The Princess Diaries apart from in a voice recording on Princess’ phone. This time around however, Katie appears to be helping Princess out by having Kerry Katona’s daughter Heidi to stay during filming.
However, a source denied to The Mirror that Katie would be featuring in Princess’ show, saying: “Heidi has been staying at Kate’s house that’s correct for filming but Kate is not involved in Princesses show.”
Heidi, 18, was seen filming with Princess at Katie’s house for her new reality TV show in a conversation with Kerry over the weekend. She said, “My kids have been raised phenomenally.”
They have never had a sandwich with ketchup before. When they visit a restaurant, they choose lobster and linguine.
Speaking out on her not being on the show, Katie claimed earlier this year that she was “not allowed” to be on the show by Princess and Peter Andre’s management, who used to manage Katie. “Everyone knows she’s doing this documentary – and I’m not in it,” she said on her podcast.
“Some people don’t think it’s appropriate for Princess to spend time with me.” People who used to care for me.
This caused a public dispute between Peter and Katie, which was said to have “taken the shine off” Princess. It is now claimed that the family has decided that it would be better to concentrate on Princess and not Princess’s family life.
However, a source claimed that producers who enjoyed having Pete and Emily on the show are now “struggling for content and storylines with just Princess alone” are now “drooling.”
The source told MailOnline: “Pete and Emily will not feature in The Princess Diaries seasons two and three. It was discussed between him and Princess, and they decided as a family that it’s better for the show to focus on Princess alone, rather than her family life.
“Katie obviously caused a lot of drama and upheaval when she was not asked to film alongside Princess for season one,” she said.
“Peter has taken a significant step back, which he hopes will resolve many of the issues, because no one wants Princess to feel trapped between her two parents,” he said. Everyone just wants Princess to have the best of all of her things, and since she’s only 18 years old, she can’t stand on her own two feet.

The Mirror is seeking comment from Katie’s representatives.
After suffering a “gallbladder attack,” which could have been caused by the medication, Gemma Collins has revealed she needed to stop taking weight-loss injections.

After fears that Gemma Collins’ agonising “gallbladder attack” could have been brought on by fat jabs, she is now “microdosing” weight-loss drug Mounjaro since losing an impressive 3½st.
The TOWIE star, 44, temporarily came off the medication – which was originally designed to combat type 2 diabetes – after she was left in “excruciating” pain in August. Gemma, who has dropped from a size 26 to a size 20 since starting the weight-loss injections a year ago, revealed how “she fell to the floor” in pain while celebrating fiancé Rami Hawash’s birthday at a race track.
A scan revealed she was suffering from gallstones, which have been linked to Mounjaro use, but the star now plans to follow the new trend of taking smaller doses of the drug in a bid to stay trim.

Because I had a gallbladder attack in August, I had to put a stop to the jabs, but they’ve since assured me that it’s not actually related to Mounjaro, Gemma said. I’ve really been managing what I’ve been eating, and I’ve given it a rest. However, I believe I will begin microdosing because I believe that some people don’t experience all the side effects of microdosing.
“Patient safety is Lilly’s top priority,” according to a spokeswoman for Eli Lilly, the maker of Mounjaro. “We actively monitor, evaluate, and report safety information for all our medicines to [regulatory agency] MHRA.”
The Mounjaro (tirzepatide) Patient Information Leaflet warns that gallstones is a common side effect of tirzepatide when used for weight management (may affect up to 1 in 10 people), and that cholecystitis (infection of the gallbladder) and gallstones when used for type 2 diabetes, are uncommon side effects (may affect up to 1 in 100 people). Anyone experiencing side effects when taking any Lilly medicine should consult their doctor or other healthcare professional, and should ensure that they are getting genuine Lilly medicine.”
Gemma has praised the weekly injections as “life-changing” and “reduce the user’s appetite.” “I’ve lost about 31st and kept it off. She simply said, “I feel good.” I’ll never appear thin,” she said. I don’t want to appear thin. Not who I am, is it? However, it’s about maintaining health. Therefore, everything is heading in the right direction.
From the initial dose of 2.5 mg, the GC continued to increase her dosage incrementally. 15 mg per week is the recommended maximum dose.
She said, “I went up to the maximum dose.” “But I preferred 2.5 mg.” Therefore, I’m going to start microdosing right away. Gemma was 23st when she first started getting the injections, but she weighed 23st.
She said, “I’ll always love my food, but the injection stops me.” I couldn’t eat two or three roast dinner portions. I didn’t lose anything for six weeks, but I was being lazy, making no scrambled eggs, and having a Twix for breakfast.
Your body adapts to it after you are initially exhausted. Although I’m not in a rush to lose 6st from my heaviest, I’m still trying to lose it. I’m acting responsibly.
“I’ve been big for a long time. And actually at first I was so shocked by the rapid weight loss. It was weird for my mind. When I looked in the mirror, I looked so different. And I was like, ‘Woah, am I ready for this?’”
Gemma asked cosmetic surgeon Dr. Simon Ourian about having her face’s fat “sucked out.” She now hopes to have the “Ozempic face,” which depicts people who have lost a lot of weight in the jaw area.
She remarked, “Dr. Ourian said some people just have weight on their faces; some do not. So, kindly, give me an Ozempic face. I’m all for it if that were to happen to me.
After her dearly beloved mother Joan was admitted with pneumonia, Gemma described last week as the “toughest week of my life.” In 2016, Joan was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ, a condition where the lining of breast tissue develops cancer. Additionally, a petrified Gemma was forced to call an ambulance in May of last year because her mother had stopped breathing.
Gemma said, “Mum and Dad are living with me now,” just before Joan’s most recent hospitalization. Last year, my mother experienced numerous health issues. Because they claimed she had heart failure and that they weren’t going to resuscitate her, it was truly shocking. Hold on a minute, I said. Last night, we were eating dauphinois and mussels. Simply put, it was bizarre.

Gemma said it was wonderful that her parents moved in so that they could spend more time together. She continued, “My mother has always said she wants us to live together.”
Gemma and Rami, who got engaged in February of 2024, are engaged to the wedding. Although the wedding was initially postponed because of a number of family illnesses, Gemma has promised that it will “absolutely” take place in 2026.
After a failed legal battle, Kirsty MacColl and her son Louis Lillywhite, 39, claim that the ‘gruesome’ flashbacks still haunt him today.
The annual return of Fairytale of New York on the radio and in shops signals the start of the festive season for millions of us. But for Louis Lillywhite, this Christmas classic holds a deeper significance.
He was just 14 when his mother, Kirsty MacColl – who sang the hit duet with Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan – tragically lost her life in a devastating speedboat accident.
Inititally, people were shocked at what seemed to be a tragic accident that cut Kirsty’s life short just a week before Christmas. The incredible singer-songwriter was struck by a speedboat as she ascended off Mexico’s coast on December 18, 2000. At the age of 41, she was at the height of her career, having just released her critically acclaimed album, Tropical Brainstorm.
But since her shock death, her family members have fought hard to find out what really happened to the incredible musician, as allegations of a cover-up continue to persist.

Kirsty had nearly severed her left leg and a portion of her chest as a result of a distressing coroner’s report.
Now, as the 25th anniversary of Kirsty’s death looms, with unresolved questions about the circumstances and who was responsible for the tragedy – questions that may now never be answered.
Louis, the son of Kirsty MacColl’s ex-husband and record producer Steve Lillywhite, has poignantly spoken about his mother to the Daily Express.
Louis and his older brother Jamie, then 15, were diving with their mum when the speedboat entered the protected marine area over the reef they had just explored and crashed into them. Although Jamie’s oxygen tank was clipped, their beloved mother was instantly killed when the boat’s propeller struck her.
The speedboat that killed his mother was owned by the family of wealthy Mexican businessman Guillermo González Nova, who ran the Comercial Mexicana supermarket empire. José Cen Yam, a 26-year-old employee at Nova, claimed he was at the controls and moving at a slow speed.
He was found guilty of culpable homicide and handed a sentence of just two years and 10 months behind bars. However, he avoided jail by a paltry £61 fine, which led to claims he had agreed to accept responsibility in exchange for money from his superiors.
According to MacColl’s family, witnesses who disputed who was driving the vessel and claimed that it was moving much faster than the vessel’s stated speed have long been believed to be a cover-up. Their “Justice for Kirsty” campaign halted legal proceedings after running out of options within Mexico’s justice system.
“I believe that Yam was the fall guy,” Louis asserts. “No one was actually held accountable for what occurred.” He continued to express his frustration, stating: “We spent many years as a family trying to get justice. If it had saved just one person, I’m happy about how we raised awareness, but what we would have liked was some accountability. It was never about money, it was about someone taking responsibility.
They called us “money grabbing,” which only fueled my desire to try harder to hold someone accountable. But we were dealing with the richest man in the most corrupt country..”.
He described the horrific day as “such a traumatic event” and “a lot of what happened is still a blur to me.”
” What I can say is it was really grim. I can recall being in the water while meditating on that trip to Mexico and thinking, “Where is Jamie? ” He and I have spoken about it from time to time and I still have flashbacks. It was and continues to be so. We could only have been in the water a few minutes afterwards before they got us out. I really don’t recall a lot.
Louis recently sought therapy, which he claims has improved his ability to deal with the horrific events of that day, after years of bottling up his pain. When you are a 14-year-old boy, you don’t want to talk to a stranger about the worst thing that has happened to you, “he continues.
“I eventually decided to try it when I started to notice patterns of behavior in my 20s.” I have had a lot of therapy since and that has helped. “
Louis has worked hard to get over his fear of the sea, despite his mother’s tragic passing. I really struggled with swimming or going on boats or diving but I have found therapy very useful for that. He claims that I’ve even driven a boat and snorkeled once more.
” Mum really loved the sea and she would have been gutted if I was missing out on a beautiful thing. “
The story is continued by his 70-year-old father, Steve, who reveals that Kirsty had a career as a marine biologist. He was residing in New York with his second wife Patricia Galluzzi when he received the devastating phone call from Kirsty’s musician boyfriend, James Knight, who was holidaying in Mexico with them but wasn’t in the water at the time.
It shocked me so much. I just thought, ‘ Oh s*** ‘ and was desperate to get to the boys but there were no flights that evening from New York, “he recalls”. I called Island Records owner Chris Blackwell, who gave me a private jet ride down.
No tears, just total shock as the boys and James, who were watching cartoons on the bed when I entered the hotel room, were there. James was only 26 and was closer to my age. It is so horrendous to imagine what they witnessed that day and they have never really spoken to me about what they saw”.
The reality really started creeping inside their Ealing family home when they returned to London. Steve recalls: “Kirsty had put the Christmas tree up and there were presents under it. We played her music and made an effort to have a good Christmas by returning to the house in Ealing, which was difficult.
In 2023, the Ealing Civic Society installed a green plaque at the property and recording studio that Kirsty and the boys once called home. Louis was present at the unveiling ceremony and lives nearby.
His brother Jamie, a music manager who previously represented singer Ellie Goulding, now lives in Los Angeles with his wife and son.
Louis recalls, “It was lovely to go back to the house again to get the green plaque.” It was such a party house back then, music always playing, people coming and going all the time.
“You’d come downstairs for school and there would be Boy George sat at the kitchen table. But the new owners are lovely and have done the old place up really nicely. It is much smarter now than when we lived there.”
Following their mother’s death, Louis and Jamie were raised by their mum’s partner James at the Ealing family home, alongside their father Steve. They worked together, according to Louis. We were okay. “
Steve continues, “James is a good bloke, and Kirsty and I were perfect for them.” I was glad she had found a new partner. We have spent Christmases together, and I still meet up with him while I’m in London.
Louis also celebrated his mother’s passing in May 2017 with Jean Newlove, who passed away at the age of 94, after losing his mother. Jean campaigned tirelessly for justice for her daughter.
He claims that “my grandmother was very close to me and a great inspiration.”
” Losing a parent is one thing but losing a child is another thing entirely and my grandmother was on a mission. It gave her a purpose, and if I had to give the cause more weight, I felt compelled to do so.
Kirsty hailed from folk music royalty. She was the child of Ewan MacColl, a prominent figure in the 1960s folk revival in the UK, who founded the first-ever folk music club, The Ballads and Blues Club.
His tunes have been covered by numerous artists over the years, with one of the most successful being Roberta Flack’s rendition of his beautiful ballad, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.
With a number of hits, including her rendition of Billy Bragg’s song A New England and There’s a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He’s Elvis, as well as joint ventures with bands like Simple Minds and The Smiths, Kirsty eked out a successful career for herself.
However, it was her 1987 duet with the late Shane MacGowan on The Pogues ‘ Fairytale of New York, the Christmas number one that never was (it peaked at number two in the charts) that cemented her place in pop music history.
Steve Lillywhite, who produced the Celtic punks ‘ album, was the catalyst for the creation of their Christmas single. The Pogues loved the song so much that they decided to keep them, and his wife, Kirsty, did the same.
Now, Steve has come full circle as Warner Bros Music requested him to produce the new live mix version.
He said, “It was recorded at Barrowland in Glasgow and you can hear all these Scots shouting “Kirsty, Kirsty, Kirsty,” which I kept in because they loved her up there with her name and red hair.
I’m not sure I want this version to reach number one, despite the fact that I have never produced a Christmas number one. It’s about a pair of losers, it’s the underdog song and so maybe it is better if it doesn’t in a way?
Louis, who turns 40 next year, is about to reach the death of his mother. Earlier this year, he attended the annual gathering at the Kirsty MacColl bench in Soho Square, London, where devoted fans congregate to commemorate her birthday on October 10.
He continued, “It was wonderful talking to all the fans about mum and her music this year because it was our 25th anniversary.” I always go. It keeps her memory fresh,” she said.
This Christmas, Louis will be in Bali, where Steve now lives. The song she is most renowned for is a Christmas song, but at least it isn’t one that makes you cringe, he said. I have been in pubs in Ireland and Fairy Tale has come on and the whole place just turns into a party. It sends out positive vibes.
” When one of my mum’s songs comes on the radio it is a double-edged sword for me though, but it is always wonderful to hear her voice again. I’m still a fan of her records. Tropical Brainstorm is my favourite album. When she wrote it, she had her old energy back, which I’m hoping for myself.
In the upcoming months, Alan Carr will make guest appearances on a number of British television television programs, including a sitcom and a travelogue.

Alan Carr has spoken about working with radio and television presenter Amanda Holden on a series of his renovation show The Greek Job.
Alan is most recently seen on his quiz show Picture Slam, which features Celebrity Traitors. In January, he’ll make his first appearance on British television with the new program.
Alan, 49, claimed that Amanda had a positive impact on his dating life when she described her time with him in Corfu.
He said that Amanda, 54, put him on a Greek app, adding that she was a bit “naïve” when it came to how much information some people on these apps want.
He told The Sun: “Amanda tries to set me up and it becomes a bit like Celebs Go Dating! I go on a few dates and — you know what? — love is in the air. I think you’re gonna be surprised.
I used the “Amanab” app to download Greek information, but I don’t believe she realized how much information gay people want! There were kinks and sizes, such as “Are you a train or tunnel?” Are you the letter or the letterbox?
She left with the statement, “Alan, I love you to bits, but I’ve had to guess some of these. ” Although it was quite intimate, I believe she was a little naive and assumed that they would be enquiring about eye color.
Additionally, Alan claimed that there would be many animals on his new show, including a donkey sanctuary.
Alan has endured a long history of being a well-known face on British television, a trait that has been improved.
However, Alan has also asserted that his success was a result of a fortune teller.
He told ITV’s This Morning that a fortune teller once came to his house and told his family he would be famous one day.
Alan was discussing a sitcom called Changing Ends, which he had created in his early life, on the program. “People say, “Is it real? “, Alan said. I did everything in this series.
A fortune teller said to my mother, “Your child’s going to be famous, and she was selling pegs.” And my brother, Gary, was playing in the background.

“So that’s actually there,” the statement reads. And of course, I’m like, “What, him, please? ” I want to have a name. But it actually occurred. That is absurd.
Victoria Bond, a PR professional, and other hikers got trapped in a freak blizzard, making it what should have been a lifetime adventure. Tragically, this adventure turned into a nightmare.

Victoria Bond, who formerly worked for Cheryl Cole, has been confirmed dead.
A hiker who survived the terrifying blizzard that toppled Victoria Bond has spoken about her final moments.
The 40-year-old PR professional, who previously worked for stars like Cheryl Cole and Annabelle Wallis from Peaky Blinders, was traveling across Patagonia, Chile, when disaster struck.
While crossing the Torres del Paine nature reserve, the adventurous group found themselves caught in a fierce 120mph snowstorm, the equivalent of a Category 3 hurricane. As they desperately battled the ferocious winds and heavy rainfall, nine tourists initially went missing. Sadly, five members of the group, two Mexicans, two Germans and Victoria, didn’t survive.
When the tragedy struck, fellow hiker and friend Chris Aldridge, who was with Victoria at the time, has since explained how he had predicted that everyone would perish as he slid down the mountain at unstoppable speeds.

Experienced hiker Chris mentioned in an interview with the Mail Online that despite knowing there would be winds up on the icy peaks, things would turn out to be very difficult to climb.
Some people slid down the mountain, Chris said. It was extremely icy, [with] very strong winds. In front of [they] couldn’t be seen, either behind or in front. He continued, “It was pretty terrifying. Once, I slid down the mountain at a very fast rate without stopping. It was simply sheet ice.
When they returned to camp, it was obvious that some of the group’s members had suffered serious injuries. Everyone was eying hypothermia, according to Chris, who said it was still very windy. Numerous people suffer from frostbite and other minor wounds.
Sadly, it was also at this point that they realised that not everybody had made it back to camp. Park rangers, who’d returned to their hometowns to vote in the general election, weren’t around to assist, and so the courageous group took it upon themselves to head out and rescue the missing. Sadly, it was too late for Victoria.
The organization in charge of Chile’s national parks, CONAF, has issued the following statement: “We deeply regret this tragedy and send our condolences to the families of the deceased and to all those who have gone through very difficult times in Torres del Paine National Park. In order to improve preventative and emergency response capacity in the park’s circuits, CONAF will work with the concessionaires to update the safety and communication protocols in the park’s circuits.
A spokesperson for Visit Isles of Scilly, where Victoria had worked in PR, also released a statement, sharing they had been “deeply saddened” by the death of their “much-loved” friend. They said: “Whilst on a trip of a lifetime to explore and go hiking with friends in Argentina and Chile, her group were caught in a freak severe snowstorm and high winds in Chilean Patagonia.

The statement continued, “She was always full of charisma, charm, and had an amazing passion for life and Scilly,” adding to light on Victoria’s charismatic personality. Everyone who knew her adored her for her can-do, never-say-no attitude, and infectious laugh. We are only just beginning to process her untimely passing, and she will be missed beyond words.
