TV personality and presenter Stacey Solomon, known for her show Sort Your Life Out, has shared her gorgeous body transformation on Instagram. Posting photos in a stunning black bikini, Stacey flaunted her new figure while spreading body positivity.
In a lengthy caption, Stacey explained that she had "kept quiet" about her fitness routine and that she wants to be strong and healthy for her children. Stacey's impressive transformation comes as she's rumoured to be appearing on the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing, due to return this autumn.
The photos were taken while the star was on holiday with her husband, fellow TV presenter Joe Swash, and their five children: Zachary, Leighton, Rex, Rose, and Belle.
Stacey said: "Feeling beautiful my sister hyped me up today & made me feel really pretty so I'm posting these love you Jem. Also my 3 day blow dry made it to the pool cave for at least 3 mins #buzzing
"P.S my body looks a little different to last years summer holiday.
"I am actually so proud of myself because I've stuck to my weight training consistently since February.
"Kept quiet and just got my head down & kept going.
"I genuinely only do it because I want to be so strong. Like boss b**ch strong.
"I want to forever be able to pick up my babies with ease & carry double buggies on my shoulder when necessary
"I feel so much stronger this year which is so empowering & yes my body has changed but honestly I loved my body aesthetically last year as much as I do this year.
"I've always been beautiful no matter what shape or size.
"So I suppose what I'm trying to say is… Don't commit to fitness just for the looks.
"Do it so you can wrestle your 17 year old & carry all three of your toddlers in 40 heat & you'll enjoy the journey more"

"I think there's a real need and desire for her to have that perfect love. I mean, there's no such thing, but you know that sort of because he's promised her a family unit.

A more serious side was back in 2015, my family thought we'd have to live without my mum, which makes me feel bad for the initial joke now.' Giving his followers an insight into the heartbreaking moment, he explained: 'Where better to start than at the beginning. I shut out my mother foo-foo in December 99, proud memories. 'I was a hefty baby that she didn't mind, which I think is a good insight into the type of person that she is, kind. "She always went above and beyond for me and my sister, making cards, cakes, and chocolate bars. The latter probably best displays her disgusting sense of humour.' Content cannot be displayed without consent He recalled: 'One day, all of that changed when I saw her being wheeled out of our house in a wheelchair, and she looked at me as if she had never seen me before. "So basically the whole of that summer was spent visiting her and her relearning who she was and who we were." Fighting back tears, he went on to say: 'I'd always known that she is amazing, but the fact that she overcame a 20% chance of survival in intensive care. "She has permanently lost her long-term memories, she's lost her taste and her smell." Article continues below George added: 'She has no sense of direction anymore, and to come out of all of that and apologise to us for what she has put us through is really a testament to how lucky we are that she's still here. I am lucky enough to hear that God-awful cackle.' Strictly is due to make its comeback on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this September.

Solo traveller details surprising aspects of Ibiza nightlife and safety tips for women
A woman from the UK has shared her experience travelling to Ibiza alone and was surprised to find out what it was like to head to the clubs and strip on her own A British woman who embarked on a solo trip to Ibiza has shared her experiences of hitting the mega-clubs and strip alone, revealing one surprising detail. Penny Uro spent four days and three nights at Hotel Vibra Algarb in Playa d'en Bossa, just two miles from Ibiza Town. She decided to travel independently, wanting to "let her hair down" after facing some personal challenges. The 41-year-old single parent took to Instagram to share her insights with her 24,000 followers in a video titled: "Things I learned as a solo traveller to Ibiza". The Daily Star reports she advises single women to pack earplugs, opt for comfortable footwear in nightclubs, make friends with other solo travellers, and explore beachside eateries together. The globe-trotting enthusiast first gave her verdict on the clubs. Penny said: "Go to the Old Town, Ibiza has so much more than bars and clubs. "Ushuaïa Ibiza had the best atmosphere by far. Pacha and Hï Ibiza were packed, think tinned sardines. Drinks were prohibitively expensive - €18 for water, €30 for vodka and Coke." Speaking to What's The Jam later, she revealed the world-class nightlife was the 'sole' reason she chose to visit Ibiza. Despite most people travelling to Ibiza in large groups, Penny didn't want to miss out on letting her hair down and decided to go alone. Although initially attracted to the Spanish island for its nightlife and clubs, she found the beach clubs were where she had the most fun. However, Penny - who practises as a solicitor in the Midlands - confessed she was taken aback by the widespread drug scene on the island. While strolling along the strip, Penny remarked: "Every other person who walked past me was as high as a kite, but no one was intimidating, and everyone was just there having a good time. "Alcohol in clubs is extremely expensive, so I can see why people turn to other things. "While walking from the club to my hotel at 1am, about a 10-minute walk, I was approached eight times by different men trying to sell me drugs, which I found quite surprising." Beyond that, the only other drawback was feeling like a 'sardine' in the 'packed' clubs where Penny felt like she couldn't move much, let alone dance. Her video has garnered more than 26,000 views and countless comments on her 'Penny Goes Travelling' Instagram account. Back in June, Penny journeyed to Egypt and admitted she "couldn't wait to leave" the country. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Despite having visited Egypt multiple times before, she described the "hassling for money and scamming culture so exhausting" during her latest trip. She was allegedly bothered by Uber drivers, tour guides, street vendors, and airport staff - even whilst travelling with four men and a child. The globe-trotter described her hotel experience as "shocking", citing relentless harassment for tips and catcalling. She further commented: "Even though I was travelling with four men, it seems that doesn't put the locals off. I used to get hassled a lot, but I was never put in a place of fear. "But this time, I experienced physical force, aggression, and people actively following me into private areas like the ladies' toilets. "If you don't mind being ogled at, cat called, constantly asked for money in return for nothing, and if you enjoy your personal space being invaded, then Egypt is perfect. "Otherwise, get back on the plane."
