ARE you ever fed up with your home having unsightly wires leading to your plugs?
Home whizz Stacey Solomon shared how she had found the perfect solution using a black box – and her hack included a tribute to cleaning pal Mrs Hinch too.
The Loose Women star, 35, gave fans a peek inside her dressing room at her £1.2million Pickle Cottage in Essex, which she shares with TV star Joe Swash, 42, and their kids.
She told fans: “This in my dressing is the last thing I want to do.
“It’s driving me absolutely insane.”
She showed all the wires in her socket leading to her straighteners and hairdryer and said she used to hide them with her mirror.
However, Sort Your Life Out presenter Stacey said she has since moved her mirror to make use of the natural light streaming from the window.
The mum-of-five continued: “What can I do that doesn’t involve me having to chase wires through the wall and down and out and whatever.”
She showed how she had bought a large black box and she had punched the back out of it so it had a hole at the back.
The former X Factor star, who appeared on the show in 2009, added: “I bought this picture frame and printed this picture that I’m going to glue to the top of the box, hang the box in front of that so it will just look like a nice picture of me and my bridesmaids.”
Included in the beautiful and black-and-white photograph was Stacey’s Essex friend Sophie Hinchliffe, who is known as Mrs Hinch, to her fans of her cleaning videos.
After attaching the photo to the box and putting the box on the wall, Stacey seemed happy with the end result.

According to the cleanfluencer, who recently announced a huge TV gig with hubby Joe Swash, the answer is a plastic bag dispenser, which you can snap up from IKEA.
New TV documentary series
The Loose Women presenter, who last year launched a kids’ range at Primark, revealed that she and Joe will star in a new TV documentary series following their life with five kids, Zachary, 16, Leighton, 12, Rex, five, Rose, three and one-year-old Belle.
Stacey wrote: “A new year. A very new adventure. Coming Spring 2025. We’ve been so nervous & excited to share this. Here is us. All of us.
“In 2024 we opened up our home & made a series about our lives, family, work & everything in between. It was a huge leap into the unknown & it’s been an absolute whirlwind making it. But last year as a family we decided to say yes to more & do things we’d never done.
The Sort Your Life Out host continued: “We have spoken about making a documentary for a long time, lots of you have asked too. So here we go.
“A journey with us every second of the way. Through the laughter the tears & the craziness… “
She then promised fans: “We hope it makes you smile, feel good & hopefully enjoy getting to know us all a little more.”
The show will air on BBC and be titled, Stacey and Joe.
