And Stacey Solomon gave her fiancé Joe Swash a special birthday surprise by shaving and wrapping up her newly-smooth legs in red ribbons on Wednesday morning.

Stacey, who got engaged to Joe on Christmas Eve, scrambled to buy him a last-minute present when she realised his birthday was the next day.

The mother-of-three, who shares son Rex, 19 months, with the Dancing On Ice champ, blamed her poor memory on the UK’s third lockdown. 

She ordered balloons, party hats, party blowers, a birthday queen sash and a tiara from Amazon Prime, which arrived the night before.

However she added one final present on the morning of Joe’s birthday. 

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Stacey wrote: ‘Rex woke up at the crack of dawn but I’m glad because it gave me the change to add a present to Joe’s birthday surprises’

Stacey has spoken out about women’s body hair in the past, confessing that she often leaves her legs hairy and revealed that her partner Joe ‘loves the fur’.

At the beginning of lockdown in March last year, the former X-Factor finalist joked about her ‘abominable snowman legs’ after a the camera caught a glimpse of her hairy legs. 

She captioned her post: ‘I know what you’re thinking… ”if she has to self-isolate maybe she will finally take some time to shave those abominable snowman legs.” I might, maybe, probably not.’ 

It’s not the first time Stacey has documented her commitment to ditching the razor.

In 2017, she vowed to stop shaving for a month, alongside a number of her Loose Women co-stars, in a stand against the expectations of women to be hair-free in society.

She explained: ‘I don’t shave a lot, I can’t be bothered. I’d rather wear trousers, they keep me warm.’

Stacey and Joe, 39, first confirmed their relationship in January 2016 after they met on the set for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! when the singer was crowned Queen of the Jungle.

They got engaged on Christmas Eve after Joe proposed to Stacey in the woods near their house and they plan to marry this year.

The couple reside in Essex with their children, while Joe’s son Harry, 13, lives with his mother Emma Sophocleous.

Stacey co-parents Zachary, 12, with her former partner Dean Cox and Leighton, eight, with ex-fiancé Aaron Barham.
