Stacey Solomon reveals £1 transformation of grubby kitchen unit she found on Facebook Marketplace so it looks brand new

STACEY Solomon gave fans a sneak peek at her vegetable patch at her £1.2million Pickle Cottage and showed off a unit she picked up from Facebook Marketplace.

The secondhand item - which featured drawers and a sink - looked in need of some TLC, and Stacey had a £1 hack for sprucing it up.

She revealed that the trick to making it look brand new and removing any streaky marks from the top is nail varnish.

While she used Modelones, which costs £9.99 from Amazon, you can achieve similar results with one from the likes of Poundland for £1.

Stacey showed the unit in her garden and wrote: “Getting bits done.

“Cleaning up the worktop I got off Facebook Marketplace.”

She showed how she applied a bit of the nail varnish remover to a Scrub Daddy sponge and buffed away any marks.

Doing her famous “tap to tidy”, she showed the jaw-dropping before and after results.

While the cabinet had looked dirty and old when she got it, Stacey’s £1 trick had left it looking gleaming and pristine.

Stacey added: “I’m sorry but how satisfying.

“My arms have had a work out but worth it!”

This comes as Stacey and Joe Swash have ‘risked their reality show being axed’ after being accused of breaking strict BBC rules. 

The star and husband Joe Swash, 43, have thrown open the doors to their home for the cameras, for a fly-on-the-wall look into their family life with their five kids. 

But the fan-favourite pair risk the wrath of Corporation bosses, by plugging their products while on the show. 

In one scene, Stacey, 35, tells the cameras: “I'm going to be trying on my last summer collection. I have brand partnerships and design different things for those brands. Anything from homeware to clothing lines.” 

And she also teased plans for her own perfume brand, telling viewers: “I've wanted to do this for so long now. Creating a perfume. I would love to sort of create scents from Pickle Cottage that really make me happy.”

Stacey has also namechecked her haircare brand and homeware range, and hubby Joe has cooking account and family coffee company. 

But this all breaks editorial rules to plug commercial deals on air, as they clearly state: “No on-air talent should promote products, goods, services or clothing they use on air.”

The rules go on to say that this includes anything they have “agreed, or been contracted, to promote or in which they have financial interest.” 

A BBC spokesperson said: “Stacey & Joe is a reality series following the daily lives of the couple which includes their work. All commercial relationships featured are made clear to the audience and only included where editorially justified.”
