The room previously boasted candyfloss-hued cabinets and rows of faux flowers but using her famous ‘Tap To Tidy’ Instagram technique to showcase the room’s transformation.

When she clicked her fingers, the room was seen empty and featuring white cabinets once more.

Stacey said her favourite part of the home was a trellis walkway, which she planned to cover in flowering plants. 

Stacey’s sprawling new Essex pad is certainly an upgrade as the plush abode features stunning Tudor-style beams, a library, a cosy country kitchen and 2.5 acres for her boys to enjoy.

Pictures give a further glimpse inside the property, which has plenty of room for the couple and their boys to roam around.

At the heart of the home is a cosy country kitchen with dark wooden beams, wooden cabinets and a green Aga oven.  

While the main bedroom will no doubt be a haven for the X Factor star once she puts her own stamp on it as it has a large dressing area with plenty of space for all her belongings.

There is also a sizable conservatory flooded with light, which will no doubt make the perfect spot for the family to relax in the summer.    

After moving in to their new home on Monday, Stacey shared an adorable snap which saw Joe posing with his arm triumphantly thrust out while a smiling Stacey cuddles up to him.

Captioning her post, Stacey revealed that she and Joe felt ‘lucky and grateful’ to have found the ‘hidden treasure’ of a home, adding she ‘can’t wait’ to raise their family here.  

She penned: ‘Home Sweet Home. And so a new chapter begins.

‘We can not even describe how strange it feels that this is home. Never in a million years did we ever think this would be. We feel so lucky and are so grateful to have found this hidden treasure closer to our family and further out. 

‘We can’t wait to fill it with love and give it our everything. To raise our family here. And to just start a fresh. I’m very emotional for some reason. It still hasn’t sunk in and doesn’t quite feel real.’

She concluded: ‘Thank you for all of your supportive, kind, loving messages. We love you to the moon and back and I can’t wait to show you around… Here’s to the next chapter in pickle cottage.’  

Discussing the house news on her Instagram stories, Stacey said: ‘Soooo….For a very long time Joe and me have been searching for our forever home, further from the city and closer to our family…

‘A few months ago we saw a house that we couldn’t even believe was on the market and in the same budget as our house now. There were SO many signs. I really believe in signs and they were everywhere and it just didn’t seem real. 

‘We thought it was too good to be true and have not wanted to say anything just in case it didn’t happen..  

Stacey is mother to Zachary, 12, and eight-year-old Leighton – who she has from previous relationships – as well as her and Joe’s 22-month-old son Rex. 

Joe also has a son, Harry, 13, from a former relationship.
