Stacey Solomon blocks fiance Joe Swash on Instagram so she doesn't ruin his birthday

Stacey Solomon has blocked her fiancé Joe Swash on Instagram.

But the couple haven't fallen out - instead she's trying to stop him from seeing his 40th birthday surprise on her Stories.

The interior design fanatic, 32, is making over the games room to be a special mancave for her husband to be.

She's completely redecorated the room with his tastes in mind and filled it with personal touches.

The 'Cluedo Room' will be a retreat for Joe at Pickle Cottage to enjoy a pool table and bar.

The couple share baby daughter Rose and two-year-old Rex.

Both of Stacey's sons Zach and Leighton from previous relationships live with them while Joe's son Harry also spends time at Pickle Cottage.

"Soo many lovely messages for Joes birthday and loads of you asking to see his reaction to the Cluedo Room but we are going to have to wait until the weekend now," she told fans on Instagram tonight.

"Not all of our pickles can get back here after school now and none of us want to show him without one of the boys, they're all so excited so we will wait until we get them all on the weekend."

"Blended families ey! But it's worth it for the extra love."

The Loose Women panellist has been sharing updates with her followers on Instagram recently, with the latest footage from the project showing her working on a drinks area.

The mum-of-four took to her Stories earlier this afternoon with a video of herself sawing through a wooden beam, which she later used in the feature for the man cave.

She wrote: "Sorry to my best friend who only popped round for Rose cuddles and became camera woman of the most boring sawing this Earth has seen for 2 hours."

"This is why I didn't finish the drinks area yesterday. It took me two hours to saw a bit of this beam off because DIY Dave (aka my dad) won't leave his power tools here because he doesn't trust me."

"I don't know if any of you remember this beam in our old house. It's the the beam I bought for above our old fireplace. I loved it so much I took it with us so I'm trying to cut it to fit in the Cluedo room to hang glasses from."

Stacey then shared videos of herself adding fixtures to a cupboard in the room, writing: "So I screwed the beam inside one of the cupboards and screwed my glass holder I used to have in my old kitchen to the beam."

The X Factor alum said she bought a drinks dispenser, writing: "None of us drink and I don't trust our teenager so they're filled with cordials. I can't believe they actually worked to be honest."
