Stacey Solomon is no stranger to a home renovation, having made several changes to the stunning £1.2 million Essex home she shares with husband Joe Swash since the family bought it in 2021.
The Loose Women star's most recent upgrade at Pickle Cottage, however, has seriously divided fans. Can you guess why from the transformation in the clip below?
Stacey called on TikTok famous thep00lguy to clean up her beautiful oval pool set amongst the 2.5 acres of towering trees and wildflower meadows in her back garden.
Naturally, the resort-like swimming pool had become overcast with algae, leaves and grime over the winter months while it was closed.

Miles proceeded to pressure wash, hoover and treat the Sort Your Life Out star's pool, restoring it to its original perfect state.

"Even though it's treated and clean now I just wouldn't feel comfy swimming in that water know it's the same water that was once green!" wrote one fan on TikTok.

© InstagramDraining a pool is actually not recommended unless absolutely necessary, as the lack of water can increase the risk of cracking the pool's shell, seriously damaging the interior lining or surface and even causing it to collapse.
