Stacey Solomon reveals 'birthday tradition' for Joe Swash as she shares bathtime video clip

Stacey Solomon has let fans in on a 'birthday tradition' for her man Joe Swash as she took some time out to relax.

The Loose Women panellist, 32, was preparing for her fiance's 40th birthday celebrations in a video clip shared with her fans on Instagram.

She took a dip in the bath as she revealed that she was getting ready for former EastEnders star Joe's surprise party in their 'Cluedo room' at Pickle Cottage.

Stacey, a mother-of-four, has been busy making the room over into a 'man cave' for the father of her youngest children Rex, two, and Rose who was born in October.

In a jokey post said she had shaved her legs especially for the occasion.

"While everyone was still fast asleep this morning me and Rose had some self care," she wrote with a crying-laughing emoji.

"Joe's coming back from fishing later so I've invited a few of his friends and family over as a surprise in the Cluedo room.

"Finally today is the day we get to show him.

"Not only did he get fishing and his man cave for his 40th I've only treated him to his birthday tradition and shaved my legs. Just up to the knees but still."

Stacey has revamped the epic man cave by spray painting mahogany units a dusty blue shade.

And Stacey made Joe his very own mini bar.

Stacey took fans step by step through how she made the bar, starting with sawing down a beam from above the fireplace in their old house to hang glasses from.

And she bought a fancy spirit dispenser from Amazon.

The family moved into Pickle Cottage in March last year.

Coincidentally 'pickle' is the nickname Stacey has for her children.

Stacey revamped the brown fireplace with floral tiles to create a sleeker, more modern and neutral look in navy and grey.
