The pictures show Stacey wearing a black bikini, while standing in a pool.
She penned, in part: "My body looks a little different to last year's 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***h strong.
"I want to forever be able to pick up my babies with ease & carry double buggies on my shoulder when necessary."
Stacey continued: "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."
One follower commented: "You look amazing."

Another added: "Soooo fabulous Stacey! You look incredible as always."
A third shared: "Looks amazing and you look fabulous."
While a fourth chimed in: "You look amazing Stace."
Fans previously praised Stacey when she showed off her bikini body last year.
At the time, the mum-of-five admitted she had been worrying about the way she looks after being unable to work out as much as she did the year before.
One follower raved: 'You are a role model for women's and girls of all ages.
"Your kids will value those photos and will only see a fun and loving Mom.'
Another said: 'It is so refreshing to see a someone in the public eye being confident enough to be themselves. The best thing about this picture is the smiles on your faces.'

Great British Bake Off future of hosts and judges confirmed as Prue Leith is missing from the new trailer
Great British Bake Off is gearing up for its return - but one familiar face is noticeably absent from its brand-new trailer. The much-loved baking competition has become an autumn TV tradition, drawing in millions each year for a mix of spectacular showstoppers and kitchen disasters. With the next series just weeks from hitting screens, Channel 4 has dropped a first look at the action inside the famous white tent, unveiling the official host and judge line-up. However, Prue Leith, a long-standing member of the judging panel, is nowhere to be seen in the teaser. In the latest Great British Bake Off's trailer, Joe Wilkinson takes on the role of the narrator, which features a space-themed twist. The clip shows baking ingredients floating through space before hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond appear as animated characters. joe can be heard joking: 'From it grew life, intelligent life, adorned in knitwear and leopard print.' Inspired by the Big Bang, the trailer replaces dust and gas with an explosion of flour, sugar and cakes, ending with the image of judge Paul Hollywood's blue eye. While Prue does not feature in the trailer, though Channel 4 has confirmed she will be part of the new series. They said: 'As the ovens fire up and a new batch of bakers steps into the iconic tent to face Paul and Prue, audiences can expect all the classic ingredients - warmth, humour, creativity, and just the right amount of competition. 'This autumn, let the universe of Bake Off pull you in once again. Because, as the trail says, once there was nothing, and then there was Bake Off.' This year's series doesn't yet have a confirmed release date, but it has been teased as 'soon'. Prue's absence from the trailer comes weeks after speculation from fans about her future on the show. She's been at the helm of Great British Bake Off since 2017, but earlier this year, she said this year's series could be her last. The 85-year-old told The Mail on Sunday she was 'very keen' to step away from the popular Channel 4 show before she was pushed, and 'might stop next year'. The filming schedule, which involves long hours under the summer sun at Welford Park in Berkshire, is taking its toll on the television chef. She said: 'I'm doing this year's Bake Off, and I don't know if this will be my last. I've got to stop some time, so I might stop next year. 'I thought I'd just see how I go this year, because I definitely feel a bit older this year than I did last year. 'Things like getting out of a chair takes me longer than it used to. I don't like big steps without a handrail. None of these things worried me two years ago – I could run upstairs – and so I'm very keen to leave Bake Off before I'm asked to leave. 'But on the other hand, I really enjoy it.' Prue is also a co-host of US spin-off The Great American Baking Show, and is weighing up leaving that programme too. She took over the role of judge on the competition in 2017, when Dame Mary Berry, 89, stood down. The star has also outlasted the programme's hosts Sandi Toksvig, 66, who co-presented the show from 2017 to 2019, and Matt Lucas, 50, who served from 2020 to 2022.

France ‘wanted its citizens to see Bayeux Tapestry for free at British Museum'
France reportedly demanded that its citizens be allowed to see the Bayeux Tapestry for free or at a discount when it goes on display at the British Museum next year. Last month, The Telegraph revealed that a deal had been reached for the 900-year-old textile artwork depicting the Norman Conquest of 1066 to be loaned to the British Museum French officials lobbied for their compatriots to be allowed to visit the London display for free, according to the Financial Times, but officials close to negotiations thought the idea was a 'try-on' and 'never going to happen'. French museums do not typically provide free entry in France itself. In return for the tapestry, George Osborne, the British Museum chairman, agreed to loan the Anglo-Saxon treasures of the Sutton Hoo burial, and the medieval Lewis Chessmen. French officials are said to have initially wanted to borrow the Rosetta Stone, arguably the most popular item in the British Museum's collection. The museum did not wish to part with the 2,100-year-old Ancient Egyptian artefact, and this idea fell by the wayside. The Rosetta Stone was discovered by French forces in 1799 during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt. It was being used by the local population to bolster a wall. The stone was seized by the British, at war with France at the time. Its inscription, deciphered by Jean-François Champollion, a French orientalist, showed scholars how to read Ancient Egyptian texts. The stone may have fitted with Emmanuel Macron's plans for the Bayeux Tapestry exchange, which is intended to demonstrate the bonds between Britain and France and a new spirit of co-operation. The tapestry is likely to bring in crowds comparable to the most popular shows in the British Museum 's history, which drew hundreds of thousands of visitors. A British Museum spokesman said: 'As our chairman George Osborne has said, this will be the blockbuster show of our generation. This is an object of such historical significance for the UK that we want as many people as possible to have the chance to see it.' The deal on the tapestry, which is to be moved next year, came after plans first announced in 2018 by Theresa May, the prime minister at the time. She hoped to secure a loan for the tapestry, but this was repeatedly put off because of concerns over the delicate condition of the embroidery and the risk of moving it.
