Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have shared the first look at their new home after moving out of their £1.3million property, named Pickle Cottage. 

Stacey, 36, shared a photo of the family on their new doorstep on Instagram on Friday night and captioned the post: 'Home is wherever I’m with you… Pickle Project, Here We Go.'

The couple revealed they had decided to move out of their beloved home after falling in love with the new property, which is surrounded by acres of land. 

Taking to Instagram stories on Friday night, Stacey told her followers her chickens, ducks and bee hive have all successfully travelled over to their new home. 

The Loose Women presenter said she has plans to build a huge vegetable garden and rescue more animals. 

It was previously revealed back in June the couple had fallen in love with the eight-bedroom Victorian mansion.

The property comes with a pool, sprawling gardens and enough bedrooms for all their children. 

They are proud parents to Rex, seven, Rose, four, and Belle, three. Stacey is also mother to sons Zachary, 18 and Leighton, 14, while Joe is father to his son Harry, 19, from a previous relationship. 

Joe said the property will be a huge renovation project for the queen of DIY.

'We are leaving and moving out of Pickle Cottage imminently, which I never thought I'd say,' she explained in an emotional video on Instagram.

Revealing why they kept the move under wraps, Stacey said: 'Leaving Pickle Cottage was a massive decision for us, we had a lot of people we needed to speak to, we needed to get the kids around to the idea and speak to all our friends and neighbours in the area.

'We have just waited until someone amazing came along and fell in love with the cottage.'

She continued: 'Pickle Cottage is our dream house, as soon as we moved here we fell in love with it and I still love it so, so much. It's a really special place to us. I gave birth to both of the girls there, we got married there, it's just so special to us.

'But for a little while we have always wanted to rescue more animals, grow more vegetables so we have always been thinking if there was ever a chance to get a bit more land then we would consider it.

'We saw somewhere and I was like, we could have a massive vegetable patch and we could offer our land to animals who need it and stuff like that. We could bring the horses back there, the ponies, and we went to see it and we fell in love.

'It wasn't an easy decision, we built our lives together at Pickle Cottage but now we have found somewhere where we can see our family growing and really flourishing and this is the place.

The couple moved into the Essex property back in 2021 and affectionately named it Pickle Cottage, but are now moving to an even bigger home to accommodate their huge family

'So it's time to say goodbye to Pickle Cottage which feels so weird and basically move across to our new chapter.

'It's a project, we're moving somewhere really really different and it does need a lot of love and I'm excited to do that all again.'

The fondly named Pickle Cottage is where Stacey and Joe's reality series is based. They moved back in 2021. 

Stacey and Joe first met on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2010 and had their 2022 wedding on the grounds.

Stacey opened up about her love of interior decorating in an interview with House Beautiful magazine, as she responded to a question asking which design trend she wouldn't be on board with.

She said: 'I don't think there's such a thing. It bugs me that people have an opinion on someone's house, like if there's not enough colour or if it's too garish.

'Why have you got an opinion on someone else's house? I don't appreciate it. Let people be free with their own homes and do whatever the hell they want.

'It might not be your style and it might not be your taste, but it's not your house.

'I feel passionately about people judging other people's spaces. You live in that space. It has to support you in so many ways, whether that's emotionally or through comfort. Who are we to tell anyone that their space isn't what it should be?'
