Loose Women star pays tribute to 'authentic' Stacey Solomon at Pickle Cottage dinner

Stacey Solomon enjoyed a second hen do with a group of close friends — including some of her Loose Women co-stars — with Jane Moore calling her "amazing" and "authentic".

The 32-year-old celebrated her bridal shower on Friday at her Essex home Pickle Cottage, where she will marry fiancé Joe Swash later this month.

Stacey took to her Instagram Stories to give fans a glimpse into her hen do dinner, sharing a heart-warming clip of Jane, 60, giving a speech about the bride-to-be.

In the video, Jane says: "You're completely amazing, you're very authentic, very real and very, very misunderstood.

"I think less so now, but in the early days people misunderstood you. They thought maybe that you were not super bright, but you are so bright."

Addressing the other guests, Jane added: "Stacey will sit me down sometimes in a show and she’ll go, 'So tell me the difference between the Senate and the House of Representatives,' and I’m like, 'Oh my god!'

"You're amazing."

Stacey's friends then raised their glasses in tribute to her. At the end of the video, she added a picture of her "Loose Women family".

Stacey wrote alongside the video: "I don't have any videos or pictures because I put my phone away.

"All I have is this video my mum recorded of Jane's speech because she was so proud and a photo of the Loose team. Here's a snippet of the speech, it was 12 minutes long.

"Love my @loosewomen family so so much. Thank you for believing in me always. 6 years and counting."

Earlier that day, Stacey was gifted Janet Street-Porter's wedding garter while appearing live on Loose Women.

Janet, 75, was not there in person, but wanted her white garter to be Stacey's "something borrowed" gift. Linda Robson presented the garter to Stacey who laughed and said: "I wish I’d shaved my legs! I’m waiting for the wedding day!"

Stacey later posted a picture from her home as she shared the struggles of preparing for a wedding.

She posted a picture of a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and wrote: "Happy Saturday everyone. We left the show and piled into a bus and had dinner at Pickle Cottage.

"It was so so lovely to be with anyone who couldn't make the hen.

"But omg I am struggling today. The house And garden is a tip and I'm soooooo tired. Being a bride-to-be is busy work. Hope you're all okay this morning."
