Stacey’s brilliant guide to spring cleaning
Presenter sorts people’s lives out with a new show and her tidying life hacks
FROM pegging up crisp packets in her cupboard, to colour-sorting her kids’ Lego, Stacey Solomon might be Britain’s most organised person.
Tins are lined up in height order, jeans are rolled up in order of popularity, food is sorted into labelled containers and everything from old wrapping paper to watering cans is upcycled.
The 31-year-old Loose Women star loves to declutter, and her Instagram following has rocketed to 4.2 million after her organisational tips went viral.
Now the mum of three has a new show called Sort Your Life
Out, coming soon to
BBC1, which features the presenter and a team of experts as they help families to strip, sort and systemise their entire house.
“I know from experience the joy that can come from sorting your life out!” says Stacey, who has just moved into a new Essex pad with partner Joe Swash, 39, her sons
Zachary, 13, and Leighton, eight, and their 22-month-old son Rex.
Avid fans will be following Stacey on social media as she organises her new home that she has nicknamed Pickle
Cottage. Joe has even joked he is too frightened to touch anything for fear he will be in trouble with the manic tidier, who also has a new book out, Tap to Tidy: Organising, Crafting & Creating Happiness In A Messy World.
In the TV show, families are faced with every single one of their possessions laid out in a warehouse.
The first episode follows Tash and Lawrence Yaku and their four children as they wonder how they have amassed 48 mugs, 3,000 toys, 60 obsolete chargers, 225 DVDS, 11 old mobile phones and 23 pairs of swimming goggles.
As the Yakus prepare to face their clutter demons, we find out how to sort our lives out the Solomon way...
