Stacey's fans and friends flooded the comments section with heartfelt compliments. In praise of her transformation, one follower penned: "Wow stunning," whilst a second noted: "Love it!" and a third chimed in: "Oooh that's gorgeous honey. Love it."

Opening up about her hair routine, Stacey told Cosmopolitan: "The best hair tip I've learnt is actually not to wash it too often. That's my secret/excuse for only washing my hair once a week, tops."
She continued: "I think red is so tricky to keep vibrant, but that's what works for me and it's actually a win win because I'm so lazy. I've got so much hair, washing it is such a hassle."

Loved-up couple Stacey and Kevin crossed paths while on the set of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018. They went on to find love, and later welcomed their first child together in January 2023.
After welcoming their little one, they swapped their lives in the Big Smoke for a new chapter in Liverpool where they now live in a gorgeous family home.

Stacey and Kevin's love story
Stacey and Kevin seemingly went official in 2019 after they shared a snapshot of themselves looking cosy.

"It's just never been something I've dreamt about. But I couldn't have done this (motherhood) without Kev. It's weird. I've always loved him, but it's a different love I have for Kev now."
