Stacey Solomon's major glow-up! Star, 35, reveals her skincare secrets and workout regime with her personal trainer sister as she wows fans with incredible confident new look
Stacey Solomon has not been able to dull her glow and left fans amazed last week when she made a radiant appearance at her brand REHAB's new skincare launch. The presenter, 35, joined stars including Mel C to celebrate her latest milestone, bringing her love of skincare recommendations into the forefront of her career. And she was her own best advert as she showed off her own flawless complexion after garnering praise from fans for her stunning body-positive bikini snaps and very glamorous holiday shots. Her fans have been eagerly vying to get the 'Stacey' look and, luckily for them, the mother-of-five has never been shy about recommending her favourite fashion and beauty products. And her brand new skincare range - launched with REHAB Hair, which she co-owns - will no doubt give fans the chance to emulate her ageless glow. With Stacey looking more radiant than ever, here are some of the ways to emulate her flawless look, from her skincare secrets to her fitness regime. Skincare secrets Stacey's radiant skin is the envy of her followers as she often shows off her glowing complexion in her glamorous social media snaps. As well as launching her own clothing ranges with various stylish brands, Stacey has also become actively involved in the beauty industry. She pursued her first ever business venture by becoming a co-owner of REHAB Hair, which has now also expanded into skincare. She joined REHAB as a co-owner alongside Vicky Ellis and Anastasia Tozer and swears by the brand's products, keeping her skin looking radiant with the new range. Stacey has been proudly plugging REHAB's new Body Retreat collection - which has been two years in the making - on her Instagram in recent days and amazed fans with her radiant launch day appearance. The move has reimagined REHAB's best-selling capsule oils as a hydrating body oil while the collection also features a body brush, body wash sheets and body scrubs. Stacey has also previously sworn by L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renew Midnight Serum, which helps the skin to renew and rejuvenate overnight. Always recommending new products, Stacey has also shared her love for L'Oreal Paris' Revitalift Clinical Serum. Her luscious, glossy locks have also been long-admired by her fans, and she was plugging REHAB's products long before investing in the business. The brand's range of capsules aim to 'reinvigorate tired hair to its full glossy potential', according to the brand's website. Stacey then became part-owner of the independent hair care brand back in September 2023, marking her first ever investment. Exercise regime As part of her 2025 New Year's resolutions, Stacey shared her goals to embrace a healthier lifestyle. She revealed she had forked out on some brand new gym gear in a bid to motivate herself to keep fit, and asked her fans to help hold her 'accountable' as she shared her journey. The Loose Women star shared a snap of her perfectly organised workout clothes in a whole host of colours and wrote: 'Gym drawers - done.' 'Now to put these pretty colours to use, tomorrow morning before the kids get up. I'm going for my first run of 2025. I've said it now I have to commit,' she continued. 'Happy Sunday. I got up and went for a run. Proud of me. But also counting on you guys to hold me acceptable.' Stacey also keeps fit with the help of her sister Samantha Stone, who works as a personal trainer at fitness club Barry's UK and an ambassador for Nike Training Club Stacey also keeps fit with the help of her sister Samantha Stone, who works as a personal trainer at fitness club Barry's UK and an ambassador for Nike Training Club. While her other sibling Jemma regularly appears on her social media and even featured in Stacey's BBC reality show, Samantha enjoys a life away from the spotlight. However, Samantha very occasionally features in Stacey's gym content on her Instagram page and helps to keep the TV star in top shape. Back in 2023, Stacey praised her sister for helping to 'motivate' her and feel 'better' in herself as she admitted she finds it 'so hard' to do by herself. Alongside a snap of her lifting weights, she wrote: 'I'll be honest I find everything so hard. But I've got so much better and stronger and I'm so proud of the fact that even though I genuinely do not get excited to start exercising I do it. For myself. 'And so grateful my sister fills me with motivation. I have the craziest work, family schedule atm and honestly it's given me so much energy. 'I feel so much better in myself. I don't care what I look like. It's never bothered me and I love my body and all it's done for me. 'I just wanted to feel good and get my energy back and showing up and exercising is doing that for me.' Nutrition Stacey and her husband Joe Swash are both passionate about their cooking and often appear in videos together showing off their family recipes. Cooking for her five children can sometimes be a challenge, and Stacey is a champion of quick and easy dishes that are perfect for busy families. In fact, Stacey and Joe even partnered with HelloFresh back in 2022 for a string of adverts as they promoted healthy and balanced meals. Discussing Stacey's healthy lifestyle, a source also told Closer Magazine that she has cut down on white bread and pasta and loves snacking on blueberries and watermelon. 'Stacey's aware of what she's putting into her body, and she eats far less processed food as a rule,' they claimed. 'She also watches her salt and sugar levels too, as too much can make her bloat.' Stacey also has an iron deficiency and has long been an advocate for supplements, helping her to reach her nutrition goals. Body positivity While showing off her glamorous lifestyle, Stacey has always been committed to producing down-to-earth and relatable content for her followers. She often promotes body positivity on her Instagram platform and has repeatedly been praised by fans for candidly speaking about her body image. Last summer, Stacey was lauded by her followers for admitting she felt 'conscious' about the way she looked while sharing a bikini snap to social media. The mother-of-five admitted that she didn't feel very confident about her body after not being able to work out at the gym as much as last year, but defiantly noted that she still felt 'beautiful'. She penned: 'I haven't committed to the gym this year the way I was able to last year. I don't know why but for some reason I was conscious about it before coming away. I Worried people would notice (so silly I know as I usually don't even think about those things, but I felt a weird pressure). 'However looking back on pics from the beach yesterday I can see I'm still so beautiful. I look a little different from my last holiday but just as beautiful. 'Doing my everything to make sure my girls know how beautiful they are and don't measure their beauty against anyone else. And do the things they love because they make them feel good, not look a certain way.' Fans of Stacey were quick to share their support as they flooded the comments with compliments, noting that she was a role model for her daughters.

Samie Elishi shows ex Sam Thompson what he's missing as she poses for sultry snaps in a thong bikini during Bali getaway
Samie Elishi showed ex Sam Thompson what he's missing as she posed for sultry bikini snaps on Monday. The Love Island star, 25, flaunted her jaw-dropping figure in a colourful skimpy two-piece during her Bali getaway. Samie had a matching cover-up on her daybed while sunbathing and accessorised with stylish sunglasses. The influencer went make-up free for the Instagram pictures, which saw her sprawled out on all fours. It comes after the pair reunited just weeks after splitting, as they were seen attending Rehab's Rooftop Spa launch party. Last month, a source revealed the pair had ended their two-month romance after things 'fizzled out' between them. But in footage obtained by MailOnline, Sam and Samie could be seen chatting at the bash alongside his former Made In Chelsea co-star Lucy Watson in London's Shoreditch House, hinting the pair's romance could be back on. The pair joined a slew of stars, including Stacey Solomon and Mel C, at the party, which celebrated the release of the REHAB Retreat Range, their first body care collection. A source revealed: 'Sam was in good spirits as he caught up with Samie at the rehab event. They were queuing for drinks and they were chatting away. 'He gently stroked her arm to make sure she had a drink and the pair were laughing away with Lucy Watson and her partner. 'Samie was never far away from Sam during the party where Mel C performed an incredible set and everyone was dancing. 'Sam and Samie chatted away to other guests but kept making their way back to one another before eventually leaving at the same time.' Just hours before attending the party, Samie revealed on Snapchat she was heading to the event before jetting to Bali for a girls trip the following day. Sam, 32, started dating Samie famed for her appearances on Love Island, in April and the couple were later spotted passionately kissing after attending Olivia Attwood 's birthday party. It was Sam's first public relationship since his separation from girlfriend of five years Zara McDermott, 28, who is now with former One Direction singer, Louis Tomlinson . A source confirmed that the pair decided against taking their romance any further due to their busy work schedules, which in recent weeks has seen Sam raise over £1.6million for charity UNICEF after he conquered a 260-mile endurance challenge. The former I'm A Celeb winner said taking part in the mammoth task, where he transported the Soccer Aid match ball from London's Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford in Manchester, gave him the focus he needed to overcome a difficult start to 2025. Meanwhile, Samie, who Sam had introduced to close friend and Staying Relevant co-host Pete Wicks , has been jet setting with various brands following her stint on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year, including to Mykonos, Greece , with Space NK. A source told MailOnline: 'Sam and Samie's romance just fizzled out, there was so much attraction between them initially, but their busy schedules made it difficult for them to spend quality time together. 'For Sam, it was his first relationship since his split from Zara and the feeling is he would rather concentrate on work before getting into another long-term commitment.' Last week, Sam admitted that he is 'not ready' to date again, telling pal Pete on his podcast Staying Relevant : 'Louise thinks I should go out with Emma Watson , who plays Hermione Granger in Harry Potter '. Laughing, Pete replied: 'I think you have more chance with the ginger fella'. 'Ron! No, Louise thinks I should go for British thespian because she thinks its a little different, classy is the wrong word, but well to do', Sam added. Pete joked: 'Opposites attract, she wants you to go out with someone opposite to even you out.' Confirming he won't be dating for a while, Sam bluntly confirmed: 'No, I'm going to work on myself. No dating, I'm not ready and I've realised that'. MailOnline revealed Sam and Zara split following five years together on New Year's Day after the couple spent the festive season apart. Zara had grown especially close to her ex-boyfriend's family given Louise, her fiancé Ryan and son Leo, three, live next door to Sam in west London. The former Love Island star turned documentary maker was first spotted with singer Louis in March and the couple have since holidayed together in Los Angeles and Costa Rica. Sam and Louis both played in this month's Soccer Aid despite obvious tensions around their dating lives. Footage of Louis appearing to snub Sam circulated on TikTok after the former boy band star grimaced and ignored the Chelsea favourite once the match had ended. After achieving his UNICEF challenge, Sam reflected: 'I have never been so low but also so high at the same time... One of the things that I will say is that mentally I don't think there was a better time for me to do that. 'On Thursday, I left a lot on that road, I left a lot there and it was one of the most mentally freeing times I've ever had in my entire life. 'We rode and ran for the longest duration, all the way down the Welsh border and we finished in Liverpool, you know I'm a bit of a talker, but it was so hard, you just had to channel something. 'I left a lot of the year that I've had on that road, and I didn't speak for an hour and a half. I was riding the bike while crying for an hour and a half just tears streaming down my face just riding like I have never ridden before. 'I have never felt so emotionally depleted but also at peace.'
