Stacey wrote: “This is how I turned up for work (left) and how I went home (right). Black eye, period skin, and just washed, haystack hair… turned into No black eye flawless skin and soft wavy curled hair.

“I thought I’d put this up just to give anyone who wants to know a bit of reality about the difference that hair and make up makes not to mention lighting and filters etc.

“So the next time you look at somebody in a magazine or on TV or just in your social news feeds and think G-d I wish I looked like that just think of me and what I really look like underneath all of the sorcery! #Everybody’sHussling.”

Fans flooded the post with comments branding her an “inspiration” and praising her for being so real.

One commented: “Thank you for this you really are someone to look up too.”

“You’re are such in inspiration @staceysolomon Good for you,” another gushed.

A third said: “Such a brilliant role mode, I’m showing this to my 14 year old!! You’re a wonderful woman.”

Over the summer Stacey, 27, sent the internet into meltdown after sharing a video showing her “imperfections”.

The former X Factor star posed in a bikini and spoke about the “imperfect” parts of her body.

She wrote: “SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE ON HOLIDAY WORRYING ABOUT HOW THEY LOOK!

“You’re all perfectly imperfect and unique and beautiful. I thought I’d make a little holiday video celebrating my society labelled “imperfections” because actually I love them.

“I think if we can all show off our insecurities then we will all start realising NOBODY escapes the world of perfection.”

She added: “They all tell a story of who we are and why we are and where we are going!”

In the actual clip Stace revealed “three things I love about my bikini body”.

First up is her “muffin top”, the soft bits covering her hips.

Lying on the ground, she said: “Not only are they insulating but who else can lie this comfortably on a stone floor without the help of these babies?”

Next up are her “saggy boobs”, which she jiggled hilariously for the camera, before cutting to a shot of her holding a lolly under one breast and her sunglasses under the other.

Her third favourite body ‘imperfection’ are her stretch marks.

She showed them to us close up and then we saw some children drawing all over her.

“Stretch marks provide hours of entertainment for the children,” she laughs. “Just look at them, never been happier!”

The star said she did the video to encourage other women to be proud of their muffin tops and stretch marks because they “tell a story of who we are”.

Stacey received thousands of comments from her fans with many of them thanking her for encouraging body confidence.

“My love & respect for you has just increased tenfold,” one wrote. Another commented: “Keeping it real for all them mums out there xx go girl.”
