The British heatwave has been out in full force this weekend, and Stacey Solomon is making the most of it with her latest addition to her Pickle Cottage home.
The Sort Your Life Out star, 35, took to Instagram on Sunday to show off her enormous pool as she marked a first for her family this summer. "It is time to open Pickle Cottage pool," the mother of five wrote.
"Feel so grateful & lucky to have this in our home. Never in my wildest dreams did I think Sundays might look like this."

Stacey's standout space
Among the features at Stacey's Pickle Cottage, the £1.3 million Tudor-style home in Essex that Stacey shares with Joe and her five children, is a particularly eye-catching room.

"Took this this evening & loved it, so thought I’d put it on here along with some of my favourite pictures of the utility. Doing this thing where I just post what makes me happy & I'm really enjoying it."
