Stacey Solomon has said her husband Joe Swash is 'so lucky' as she was seen trying out a new contraption as the transformation of her garden continues. The Loose Women star has been using the brighter and drier weather to get into the sprawling garden of her family home, named Pickle Cottage, in tip-top condition.

She recently shared how she is carefully tending to an array of vegetable and fruit crops with the help of her young son, Rex, and recently showed off her spruced-up greenhouse which she has moved away from a traditional greenhouse and has instead turned into a little haven.

Last week, Stacey, 34, showcased her epic before-and-after greenhouse transformation in a video after spending more than 30 hours of hard work on the project. In it she could be seen turning the dirty, overgrown space into a cool, Scandi-inspired seating area complete with hanging lampshades, an egg chair and festoon lighting.

Sharing the video to her millions of followers, the mum-of-five said: "I DID IT. Brought Pickle Cottage Greenhouse Back To Life… 30 hours in 30 seconds. Honestly this was the hardest painting I’ve EVER done. But it was SO worth it. What do you think? I love it!

"This has been here since we moved in & we’ve grown our tomatoes in it but I was starting to hate going in there & I knew it could be so much more so I needed to sort it out! I cannot even believe the before videos! I honestly am so happy with what a bit of paint (and hours and hours of time) can achieve! I Can’t wait to hide in here on a regular basis."

But it's fair to say there was a bit of a divide in the comments section as some of Stacey's followers were perplexed by the star turning her greenhouse into an outdoor seating paradise, pointing out that she was going to be "fried" alive in her egg chair when the summer sun is shining.

Stacey, however, has now shared how daughter Rose, two, is actually the one getting the most use out of the area. In a video posted to her Instagram Story over the weekend, the Sort Your Life Out host shared a video of the toddler making her way into the greenhouse with their adorable pet pooch Teddy with them both getting comfy on the egg chair.

As Rose was seen closing her eyes at one point, Stacey explained alongside the video: "Happy Sunday. Lots of love from Rose and Teddy who have already stolen my favourite spot [crying laughing emoji]. She pretends to be asleep when I say it's my chair."

Stacey has since returned to social media to show off her new nifty tool that makes watering the plants a breeze. The TV star took to her Instagram page to share a video of herself showing off her new purchase, as she joked she felt like the "Oprah Winfrey of gardening".

"I bought myself a contraption and I've never felt so powerful," she said. As she picked it up, she explained: "It's basically a bag, full of water, and I can water anything with this!" Stacey added as she hoisted the bag onto her shoulder and began spraying water everywhere.

"I feel like the Oprah of plants!" she laughed as she waved the waterer around and said, mimicking Oprah's famous 'You Get a Car' moment: "You get a drink, you get a drink and you get a drink!" Stacey then hilariously shared a slow mo video of herself using the tool, writing at the bottom: "Joe is so lucky!"
