Stacey Solomon lands BBC Christmas special

She has gained a legion of followers with her online DIY videos.

And now Stacey Solomon is set to host a festive BBC show teaching viewers how to cut costs and upcycle with crafts this Christmas.

The TV personality, 33, will host Stacey Solomon’s Crafty Christmas, a unique show following the star, her husband Joe Swash and their children as they handcraft gifts and decorations for family and friends.

With the help of professional organizer and Sort Your Life Out co-star Dilly Carter, Stacey’s biggest task is to turn a nearby barn into a Christmas grotto for a party with her local community.

In true Stacey style, there are ideas for all ages, with son Leighton, 10, helping Stacey create personalized Christmas crackers, and Rex, three, getting messy with marbled balls for the tree.

Speaking about her love of craftsmanship, she revealed, “It’s something I can really get lost in. Life for many people is very fast and busy, and when I’m creating my mind has to focus on the task at hand.

“You can have all these thoughts swirling around in your head, but you have to put them aside to focus on the thing in front of you. It’s so relaxing.

Speaking about her Christmas plans, she added, “There will be a lot more crafts, of course.” I haven’t made my Christmas door yet!

“But I look forward to spending time with Joe and the kids. It’s been a busy year, so I’m happy to relax and do nothing.

It comes after Stacey showed off Christmas decorations in an Instagram post on Thursday.

The Loose Woman star gave fans a glimpse of the stunning decorations outside Pickle Cottage after transforming her family home into a beautiful winter wonderland scene.

Her 13-month-old daughter Rose, who she shares with husband Joe, could be seen smiling sweetly as she witnessed the magical party scene.

Stacey Solomon’s Crafty Christmas airs on BBC One and iPlayer at 8pm on Thursday 15th December.
