First things first: Stacey Solomon is famous for making mess look magnificent. She’s the mastermind behind the BBC show Sort Your Life Out, where she waltzes into people’s cluttered homes and, with a giant warehouse and a team of organisers, helps them see the wood from the pile of old cables and Tupperware lids. It’s like Marie Kondo meets your mum’s best friend, but with more giggling and zero guilt about owning seventeen identical black t-shirts.
Watching her is therapy. You find yourself nodding along as she picks up a mystery plug and says, “What’s this? A relic from 2003? Bye-bye!” She makes you feel like your own jumbled sock drawer is just a fun project waiting to happen, not a sign of your impending doom. Honestly, after one episode, you’ll be eyeing your spice rack like it’s a competitive sport.
The ‘Crafty Queen’ of Instagram
But her fame doesn’t stop at telly. On Instagram, Stacey is basically the high priestess of the humble craft stick and sticky-back plastic. She’ll take a boring old cardboard box, some spray paint, and a bit of “dollar store” foliage, and suddenly you’re looking at a £300 side table from a fancy boutique. It’s ridiculous. It’s adorable. And you know you’ll never do it, but you watch every second.
She does this thing called “Tap to Tidy” – short videos where she transforms a chaotic corner of her home into a Pinterest-worthy nook in under a minute. It’s like ASMR for your soul, but with more glue guns and less whispering. I once tried to replicate her “easy” storage hack using an old shoebox and ended up sticking my fingers together. Twice. Not her fault – she makes it look as easy as breathing.
