Stacey Solomon shares a glimpse inside her huge utility room at her £1.2m home – after defending her £3k a week family holiday to Turkey

Stacey Solomon has given her fans a peek into her huge utility room after returning from her lavish family vacation in Turkey.

The mother-of-five, 33, revealed she spent all day doing laundry at Pickle Cottage, sharing a photo of the green-themed room.

The escape sparked backlash from fans as she urged people who felt bad viewing the photos from her trip to “unfollow” her social media page.

But when Stacey returned home and resumed her routine, she shared a more mundane update while she was busy with chores around the house.

In an instant, Stacey gave a thumbs up to the camera as her youngest daughter Belle, six months old, played on a mat on the room’s tile floor.

The photo revealed the families’ expansive utility room, with washers and dryers and room for the beds of their two dogs Peanut and Teddy.

Stacey and her husband Joe Swash, 41, spent months renovating their home and had clearly spent a lot of time on the tastefully decorated space.

There was plenty of workspace and plenty of shelves for all of her detergents and other cleaning supplies.

Herringbone tiles, exposed wooden beams and a selection of home accessories completed the room.

The caption to the photo read: “Happy Tuesday. Belle and I spent most of our day today getting through the aftermath of the holiday season. And we’re finally done!’

Dressed in neutral leggings and a cropped cardigan, Stacey had a sun-kissed glow from their recent trip.

Earlier this week, Stacey continued to hit back at criticism over her vacation with Joe and children Zachary, 15, Leighton, 11, Rex, four, Rose, one and Belle at the luxury Regnum Carya resort in Antalya, Turkey.

The lavish resort features its own private beach, 15 bars, an epic water park, eight pools and 10 à la carte restaurants, as well as an on-site patisserie and lavish spa.

After a wave of backlash over the lavish trip, she said in her story that fans should “unfollow” her if her vacation photos “didn’t make them feel good.”

And now she’s doubled down in another post where she said she’s had “only two holidays abroad in the last three years.”

It came as she answered a Q&A from fans about her vacation as she wrote, “Many people ask if I know of other places nearby or similar hotels in different price ranges etc…

‘I’ve only been abroad to two places in the last 3 years so I don’t know anything, but I asked Suzi @trendingtravel and she sent me a link of the deals she thought were good. Different price ranges, prices and things to do. I hope this helps!’

On Tuesday, Stacey told fans to “unfollow” her after she left for vacation, sparking backlash.

In an Instagram Story post, Stacey appeared to hit back when she posted a family snap. She wrote, “I’ll be doing a little holiday Q&A tomorrow night on my way to work, so feel free to ask away.”

Stacey added, “If sharing our holiday doesn’t make you feel good, unfollow me or just mute me or something.” I love coming here and sharing things and I love our community here.

“All I ever want is to take you on an adventure with us and hopefully make you smile along the way.” She continued to post more photos after she sent the message.”

It came after she marked the last day of her family’s Turkish getaway on Sunday with a slew of beloved snaps.

In her latest social media post, the stunner frolicked with her beau on the beach as she showed off her stunning postpartum figure in a green bikini.

Stacey and Joe shared a sweet kiss as they hugged on the sand before the former EastEnders actor offered his wife a piggyback.

Her stylish two-piece boasted floral embellishments as Joe went shirtless, showing off his toned physique in black swim shorts.

She captioned the latest post: “Our last day in paradise… The past ten days have been heaven and I don’t want them to end. Spending time with my family is simply the best thing in the world. And this place was just MAGICAL’.

The TV personality and former soap star recently took their brood for a sun-soaked getaway amid a break from Stacey’s busy movie schedule.

The family stayed at the Regnum Carya resort in Antalya for 10 days, which would have cost about £4,000.

The hotel has hosted A-list stars, including Jennifer Lopez, who performed there in 2019, and the G-20 summit in 2015.

Alongside holiday snaps, Stacey wrote earlier this week, “So grateful to be able to spend some time making memories with my folks.

“P.S. We’re literally going to the buffet, kids’ disco, and maybe bingo if me and Joe can stay awake, but I thought I’d just dress up because we’re on vacation.”

Stacey looked nothing short of sensational in a strapless white dress on Monday as they headed to the family dinner.

The family looked happier than ever to spend some quality time together, laughing over adorable photos shared on Stacey’s Instagram.

And the former X Factor star, who welcomed her fifth child Belle in February, looked stunning as she donned a form-fitting dress with ruffles and a plunging neckline for the occasion.

Stacey paired her dress with a pair of white heels and a simple gold necklace, telling her fans she dressed up because she’s “on vacation.”

The Loose Women star also posed with baby Belle and toddler Rose in separate snaps before heading to dinner and a disco with her loved ones.

Captioning her post, she wrote, “so grateful to be able to spend some time making memories with my people.

“P.S. We’re literally going to the buffet, kids’ disco, and maybe bingo if me and Joe can stay awake, but I thought I’d just dress up because we’re on vacation.”
