Stacey Solomon gives Pickle Cottage spooky Halloween makeover with floating witches hats

Stacey Solomon is clearly a fan of Halloween and has already prepped her home for the spooky season.

The Loose Women panellist, 32, regularly shares her decorating hacks at her home she's dubbed Pickle Cottage. And on Wednesday, she took to Instagram to share her Halloween ideas with her 5.3 million followers.

The former X Factor star is getting in the mood and joked she was "already regretting" going shopping and checking out the season aisle. She asked her fans whether she should have a "Halloween haul" as she filmed all the pumpkin-shaped goodies on offer.

It appeared she folded and made a number of buys as her next upload showed a very happy Rex trying on a skeleton outfit which included boney hand props and a mask. But the prep for the event next year didn't stop there and she roped in the help of her eldest son, Zach, 14, to put up an array of decor.

Sharing a video of the teen deep in focus, Stacey captioned the post: "Sooo this is how we spent our evening. Was going to do a haul but they had other ideas. So thought I'd go through it was we put them out..."

Leighton, 10, got in on the act too, carefully placing a skeleton wearing a witches hat on a chair while the youngster told the camera: "Now she's a dead witch."

As the prep continued, with creepy music playing in the background, stacey showed off her black "boo" pumpkin ornament before the camera showed her putting out her crow piece and ghostly designs. Witches hats hanged from the ceiling while skeletons were dotted all over the spacious home.

Telling her followers it is now the boys' "spooky corner", she wrote: "After we put it all up we didn't like the brown string so we've swapped it for joe's fishing wire and white tac instead of blue tac. Much more effective.

"This is their favourite corner where they play their games & this is about as spooky as I can get. But luckily they love it."

Stacey, who is known for going all out on special occasions then shared a snap of her youngest two sons in their element as they played with the props. She added: "These two just cracked me up all night. Absolutely loving their skeleton corner.

"And anyone thinking it's only September Stace... It'll be October in 10 days. I think I'm pretty late for me. Might aswell let it last a little longer for them."

Despite not being keen of the new decorations at first, Stacey revealed baby Rose eventually came around to them in the end. She shared a sweet video of the tot fixated on one of the skeletons as Leighton played with it while she was on his knee.
