She told fans on Instagram: “Happy birthday to me 😬 yaaay. Was imagining being surrounded by thousands of pink balloons when I woke up on a four poster bed but I’m actually sooo much happier to be waking up on a mattress on the floor surrounded by brown boxes because we are about to move in together and blend our lives together which is the best birthday present I could have ever wish for.”

Stacey is mum to sons Zachary, ten, and Leighton, six, while Joe is dad to son Harry, 11.
