Stacey’s latest TV venture follows the home interiors fanatic as she helps Brits who have encountered bad builders, she also shares how she is transforming her own home too.
Whether it's bricklaying or basic plumbing, we also see the former X Factor star getting stuck into the projects herself too - and during the series, she's seen sharing the tips she picked up while renovating her idyllic home.
In this week’s show, the mum-of-five revealed her husband’s little-known hobby, and shared how she would be transforming her at-home gym.
She explained: “All this hard graft has inspired me to crack on with some jobs at my house in Essex, Pickle Cottage.”

Prior to its overhaul, Stacey’s shed was complete with a selection of gym equipment, as well as acting as a dumping ground for Joe’s fishing equipment.
But Stacey got to work, along with help from a pro, Aggie, to create a stud wall - ensuring that Stacey’s gym space would be separated from Joe’s “smelly fishing gear”.

As she showed off the space, Stacey took a cheeky swipe at her man and admitted: “Joe feels a little bit robbed because I’ve taken two thirds of the garage and he’s now got one third for his fishing stuff, but what we’ve got to remember here is that my hobbies are more important than Joe’s.”
As Stacey laughed, she then added: “I’m joking.”

Stacey’s posh gym is complete with an Iron King squat rack, which start from an eye-watering £425.
For her cardio needs, there's a cross trainer and a running machine.
And to keep her toned, she’s got a bench and a large selection of weights.
Stacey even added a posh black door and plants to the space to give it a super modern, stylish feel.
