Stacey Solomon appealed to her fans for some advice as she pondered a bit of a change to her look while making an admission about the show that catapulted her to fame.
The Loose Women star, who welcomed her fifth child, a daughter named Belle, into the world earlier this year, took to her Instagram Story with a picture of her long blonde locks, admitting she had enlisted the help of her husband Joe Sawash in order to get the snap.
Stacey, 33, could be seen standing in her Pickle Cottage home, sporting a baggy grey jumper and matching leggings with her back to the camera. Her locks appeared wet as she held a brush in one of her hands and explained in a text caption: "So I washed, oiled and brushed my hair after swimming and I can't believe how long it's got."

It is then when she revealed a secret from her time on The X Factor back in 2009. The singer-turned-presenter competed on the ITV talent show was she was 19. She finished in third place in the sixth series, after being mentored by Dannii Minogue, behind Olly Murs and eventual winner Joe McElderry.
The following year she won the tenth series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2010 where she met her now husband Joe as he hosted the spin-off show and the rest, as they say, is history.
"When I went on X Factor 14 years ago they cut my hair into a LOB," Stacey typed alongside a crying emoji. "It's only just got back to the length it was before. Now I feel like it's long enough for a style. I keep seeing layers and thinking maybe I should get some? Or is it best one length?"
She added: "I'm nervous because I don't want to ruin it," before asking her fans to vote in a poll with the options: "Layers and bangs," or "all one length".
The post comes after Stacey was praised for sharing an unedited bikini snap. The Sort Your Life Out host spent her weekend making the most of the sunny weather with her family in their huge outdoor pool.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday (June 4), mum-of-five Stacey could be seen posing in a white bikini, alongside her husband, ex-EastEnders actor Joe Swash, and the three children they share together, Rex, four, one-year-old Rose, and baby Belle, who was born in February.
She followed the first snap of the fivesome beaming into an outdoor mirror our more of the family enjoying the pool under the bright sun. Writing alongside the sun-soaked, family images, Stacey opened up about experiencing imposter syndrome and how she's so grateful for the opportunities she's been given.
"Sunny Sundays. Just because I was so grateful to be home in the sunshine today with Joe & the pickles," the 33-year-old started. "Always feel so grateful… I’ll never take for granted how lucky we are," Stacey continued.
"My full on imposter syndrome will always keep me in check. I’m always forcing my friends, family, and just the local village really, over here just incase one day Ashton Kutcher jumps out of a bush and tells us we’ve all been Punk’d and it’s not really our pool. Happy Sunday Everyone."
And Stacey's millions of loyal followers were quick to gush over the happy snaps, particularly praising the TV star for being 'real' with her choice of images.
