Stacey Solomon has made a pretty intimate shaving confession as she started preparations for her Loose Women return.
The TV star will be back on screens on Friday (March 4) as she re-joins the ITV lunchtime show's panel. Stacey was last seen on the programme last year before heading off on her maternity leave.
She has since given birth to her first daughter, Rose, who was born on Stacey's 32nd birthday in October at their family home, sweetly dubbed Pickle Cottage.

Prepping for her return to the Loose Women panel, Stacey took to Instagram to share all about her 'mutant hair legs' and it came with a bit of upset for her fiance Joe Swash.
Sharing a close-up video of herself in the bath, the mum-of-four said: "Had to shave my legs for my first day back at Loose Women tomorrow and Joe's not happy I found his new razor."
She then confessed: "The truth is I do have mutant super strength leg hairs and the razor will be blunt by the end of it," before adding a crying laughing emoji.

Later, Stacey posted a video of her teasing former EastEnders star Joe as they chilled out together on the sofa. She started rubbing her smooth, freshly-shaved leg on the back of his head saying, commenting: "You're not complaining now are you?"
Finding herself hilarious, the former singer started singing Sadé's hit, Smooth Operator, writing across the video: "I really crack myself up."
But an unimpressed Joe kept trying to move her leg away, but Stacey kept going and was heard giggling from behind the camera.

Stacey's return to Loose Women has been confirmed after she took three-months off for her maternity leave.
Jane Moore made the announcement on an advert for the ITV programme in a trailer which featured various clips of Stacey on the panel, which was played during the ad breaks on ITV.
Meanwhile, on Thursday's programme, Kaye Adams also confirmed Stacey’s return as she hosted the penultimate show of the week.
Talking about Friday's episode, she said: “It’s an extra-special show because Stacey is back! We can’t wait to see her."
Stacey's return comes after ITV had to issue a statement on why the former X Factor star didn't appear in a photo alongside her ITV female colleagues from Loose Women, This Morning, Lorraine, and Good Morning Britain.

Twenty-seven female TV stars from the daytime shows joined together to mark International Women's Day which is coming up on March 8.
The group - which included Lorraine Kelly, Holly Willoughby, Kate Garraway, Alison Hammond, and Charlene White - were all pictured together dressed in different shades of red, pink, maroon, and orange to celebrate the occasion.
Fans of the programmes quickly pointed out Stacey's absence with ITV having to issue a statement, explaining the TV star was on maternity leave at the time of the shoot.
