Last year, after documenting her progress in her newly built home gym, Stacey shared an inspirational message with her followers where she embraced her ‘hip cushions’ and ‘boobs which can hold my gym essentials’.
After sharing a picture of herself on her Instagram Stories coming back from the gym in a pink T-shirt and leggings, the mother-of-five was inundated with messages from her followers who commented on how great she looked.
Stacey, who is mum to Zachary, 17, Leighton, 12, Rex, five, Rose, three and two-year-old Belle, then took to her social media to address the influx of messages she had received.
Standing in front of a mirror with some of the comments displayed on screen she said: ‘I’ve had so many lovely messages like this lately, but I thought it was really important to come on here and say when I take the gym clothes off I look like this…’
The Loose Women panellist hen proceeded to pull her leggings down past her hips and flaunt her unfiltered and non photoshopped body.
She added ‘…Which is also really pretty and a really lovely body and I just feel like it’s important to show that.’
Pulling a can of deodorant and a hairbrush out from under her breasts, Stacey then joked: ‘Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got abs for the first time in my life, but I can still very comfortably lay down on my hip without feeling a thing and when I take my sports bra off, there’s still enough weight and length in my boobs to hold my gym essentials.
‘Deodorant, a hairbrush, you name it, these babies can hold it! But yeah I just posted that for anyone who might need to see it today or ever.’

Stacey then uploaded the video onto her grid and captioned the post: ‘Just because I think it’s important to see you can have abs (some days) and also have hip cushions and a womb!!! You’re perfect & I’m sure the bodies you may aspire to, look different, depending on the day/clothes/hormones/angles.
‘I’ve been consistently going to the gym for nearly a year! Wahoo (I know who I am?) But that means I spend a lot of time in gym wear which is specifically designed to hold you together & support you so you don’t get a nipple in the eye on the treadmill!
‘So just thought I’d show you my body underneath because I don’t think we see it enough. Do what makes you feel good & that you enjoy. Your happiness is the biggest priority’.
Fans flocked to her comment section to praise the star for how open and honest she had been

Stacey’s trip abroad comes after she suffered some heat recently when her followers turned on her over her ill-judged rant after losing out on a prize at the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards.
While she congratulated the winners, Stacey couldn’t help but reveal how ‘gutted’ she was for her team who ‘deserved’ the award as she declared that they were ‘robbed’.
Fans claimed Stacey is starting to ‘show her true colours’ compared to her usual wholesome demeanor and told the BBC presenter to ‘grow up’ and that she has ‘got too big for her boots’.
However not everyone agreed and others believed Stacey was being ‘refreshingly honest’ and was simply just ‘disappointed for her team’.
In the original video, Stacey fumed: ‘We didn’t win a BAFTA. And I know I’m supposed to take it gracefully like a champ but, I’ll be honest, I’m devastated!.
Laughing at her reaction, she continued: ‘I’m not handling it very well, I’m not taking it very gracefully – I’m devastated! I’m devastated for our whole team, like I’m so gutted for our team.
‘Everyone got dressed up and was really hopeful, I think because they work so hard. It’s not an easy show to make, Sort Your Life Out and the team work so hard to make it happen and they so deserve the BAFTA.
At one point during the afternoon, Stacey slipped on an orange satin dress and shot some content with the help of a colleague
