Holly isn't the only celebrity to have shared their summer picnic wisdom with fans recently. On Saturday, it was Stacey Solomon who revealed one of her go-to park hacks, and believe it or not, the Loose Women star's tip also involved a straw!

Taking to Instagram ahead of a fun family day out, the mother-of-three told her social media followers about a clever way to ensure that opened crisps don't go stale: simply roll the top of the crisp packet up using a paper straw.

Stacey explained to her followers over the weekend: "I cut a line down the straw, roll down my crisp packets, then slide the straw along the folded edge and it always stays shut. You can open and close it all day and no crisps fall out." With Holly and Stacey's tips combined, picnics on a sunny day will never be the same again!
